    weird how when they don’t get what they want there always seems to be some sort of intervention, financial or military against the offending party.

    Care to back that up with data? How does e.g. Argentine keep getting away with things?

    Weird, so almost like there was an active war going on

    And whose fault is that? Who prevented that people in occupied regions participated in the elections?

    the whole time and the elections only reflected the most western-aligned people.

    That’s a very, very wrong take on the Ukrainian electorate. Both politically and I suppose geographically/ethically as the “people’s republics” didn’t at all cover Russian-speaking regions.

      wtf are you talking about? link

      Argentina, the largest debtor with the IMF after years of economic crisis, has seen locals lose faith in their currency as inflation hit triple-digits and almost four-in-10 people are below the poverty line.

      They’re already in debt hand getting pressured to do austerity, what do you even think is going on in the world?

      Weird, so almost like there was an active war going on And whose fault is that? Who prevented that people in occupied regions participated in the elections?

      I think the fault lies with the people who ignored any attempts at negotiation (minsk 1 and 2 peace agreements, and went on ramping up for a proxy war anyways)

      There was a coup -> there is an active warzone in part of the country -> elections happen (so free and fair) -> The post coup elected government continues shelling the people living in the east anyways -> intervention happens shocked-pikachu

        They’re not doing austerity and yet getting their credit line renewed. Nor are they getting putsched.

        minsk 1 and 2 peace agreements,

        Both broken by Russia(n backed forces). And exactly those forces also made sure that people can’t vote.

          Pretty sure the ceasefire violations were a ‘both sides’ thing, but for most of this fighting one side (Ukraine) has has a distinct advantage in terms of weaponry, considering the irregular forces.

          The west was using those peace agreements to build up forces, Merkel literally admitted that on camera.
