This is what freedom and democracy means: giving away all your natural resources to a foreign power.

also cancelling elections to keep a western puppet in charge

And overthrowing elections because a dude you don't like won (he didn't even want to kill all Russians within Ukraine, what an obvious Putin plant)

You may not like it, but that's what peak democracy looks like.

Libs justify this by saying: "But at least it's to freedum loving Amerikkkans and not those eeeebil orks! "

You see, Russia is invading for economic reasons, specifically those minerals, and not anything else, because they're imperialist. So all support should be given to Ukraine, in their anti-imperialist war, so they can retain sovereignty over their resources and economy. \s

That is not even including all the debt.

Looks like the free trial has expired.

I’m sure this will go over well with the Ukrainian populace. I have no doubts they’d be thrilled to allow the US to carve up their country.

At the moment it doesn't seem to matter much what the Ukrainian populace thinks or wants. Most of them don't want the war to continue. They don't want themselves or their children to be drafted. They don't want Zelensky as president. Yet they have all those things and they can't seem to do anything about it for the time being.

This was always the plan. That's why they were so dead set on just hurling as many Ukrainians at the Russian defense lines as they could. What better way to colonize/imperialize a country then to push it to war with your own opponent and use said war to kill off as many native citizens as possible? And if they could do some harm to Russia while they are at it then even better.
