"Welcome to Ukraine, the most CORRUPT nation in Europe" - Capitalization yours, not the Guardian's.

2015 was one year after the revolution of dignity, in which Yanukovych, who was accused of massive corruption and cronysims was ousted.

It was this popular removal of the corrupt president that showed moscow that they would not be able to make a puppet of Ukraine the way they did with Belarus, and ignited the invasion of Crimea, and the Russian-backed insurgency in Donetsk.

They were corrupt. And they still are, but is it improving.

The fight for Ukraine is a fight for liberal ideals. So how can Boris Johnson possibly lead it?

You missed the second half of the headline. Putin's Russia is a despotic nation. Political opponents are assassinated or arrested. Urkaine has essentially free elections, and where they are perceived as not free, the people have stood up while their leaders were disappeared until the corruption was fixed. Hence the fight for liberal ideals.

Commentary: Ukraine’s neo-NAZI problem ... Again, capitalization is your's not Reuters'.

Note that Ukraine's neo-nazi problem was not one that needed to be fixed by invasion and annexation.

To be clear, the Kremlin’s claims that Ukraine is a hornets’ nest of fascists are false: far-right parties performed poorly in Ukraine’s last parliamentary elections, and Ukrainians reacted with alarm to the National Militia’s demonstration in Kiev. But connections between law enforcement agencies and extremists give Ukraine’s Western allies ample reason for concern. C14 and Kiev's city government recently signed an agreement allowing C14 to establish a "municipal guard" to patrol the streets; three such militia-run guard forces are already registered in Kiev, and at least 21 operate in other cities.

- The article.

A Ukrainian comedian-turned-president is embroiled in Trump’s impeachment mess

Yes. Trump was impeached for withholding military aid to Ukraine. Putin supports Trump and vice-versa. This does not imply that Ukraine doesn't have a democracy.

Ukrainian president’s rule becomes increasingly corrupt, authoritarian

April 2021? That was before the Ukraine Crisis? When did you think the Ukraine Crisis started?

April 2021? That was before the Ukraine Crisis? When did you think the Ukraine Crisis started?

/2014. But you already knew that and are just playing dumb.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

Let me go through it slowly for you:

  • I know when I think the Ukraine Crisis started.

  • P-38lightning says the headlines of the left are before the ukraine crisis, as you would know if you looked at the OP.

  • The last headline from the "before Ukraine crisis" dates from April 2021, (as you would know if you could clink on my links)

  • so: I wonder when they thought that the Ukraine Crisis was.

Clear yet?

[–]Questionable 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

No. Because you are still fucking lying.

[–]ActuallyNot 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Which is the lie?

Do you think I don't know when I think the Ukraine crisis started, or do you think that the heading "before the Ukraine crisis" on the OP image doesn't refer to the left hand column, or do you think the link I included to the article with the headline "Ukrainian president’s rule becomes increasingly corrupt, authoritarian" wasn't published on the date that is on the article?

He’s not playing, he really is that dumb. Anyone who supports the Ukraine is literally supporting Nazis.

Once a Nazi shit hole, always a Nazi shit hole. Europe is finished, and it’s only a matter of time before Russia takes the whole thing over and purges all influence of European terrorism and imperialism before they destroy the whole fucking world.

[–]ActuallyNot 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (10 children)

And yet somehow they elected a Jewish president.

Go figure.

You do know what a kapo is, right? ZelensKKKy fits that description to a fucking T.

[–]ActuallyNot 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Nope. What's a kapo?

Unless you're suggesting he was was a prisoner in a Nazi camp who was assignedby guards to supervise forced labor or carry out administrative tasks. Which would be a stretch, since he was born in 1978, and the Nazis were defeated in 1945.

There are people younger than me with swastika tattoos.

They haven't been imprisoned in a Nazi prison camp either.

zelensKKKy is a puppet of yt g0¥ NATO terrorists.

NATO terrorists, huh.

How's living in Russia going? Are consumer electronics a bit squeezed?

A self-loathing Holocaust-denying anti-Israel tool of yt g0¥ NATO terrorists and imperialists

First, Zelensky appropriated the Holocaust by falsely claiming that Putin’s invasion is another genocide.

I think Genocide is fair. Russia is attacking civilians, civillian infrastructure, taking Ukrainian children to Russia, and in liberated towns appear to have engaged in massacres of Ukrainians. For Instance.

The actual choice that Ukrainians, including national heroes like Bandera, made was to collaborate with the Nazis and kill Jews.

Calling Bandera a "national hero" is more than half false. In Ukraine, he's 14% of people have a positive view of him, and 45% a negative view, with 41% neutral or not sure.

[–]JewsAreOfColor 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

It’s not genocide when people of color do it to crackers as payback for illegal occupation of land to which people of color are indigenous. Russians are of color. Ukrainians are white and have a long ongoing history of actively supporting Nazism, and anybody who denies it is a Nazi. That makes Russians justified and using force to expel illegal white occupiers of land to which people of color are indigenous. Anybody who opposes people of color using force against white imperialism is literally a Nazi. Asians are people of color. Get the fuck off of our land, you fucking crackers, or we will take over your land and expel you from it if we have to fucking exterminate you in your own fucking concentration camps to do it.

Terrorists love their fellow terrorists.
