      Overthrowing a democratically elected government in a country to install a fascist regime that sacrifices the country for western interests is definitely a good analogy for rape.

        Completely missing the several elections after said overthrowing.

        The people spoke, and _confirmed_that indeed they did not like the government they overthrew.

          Completely ignoring how Donbas separated after the coup which is what the whole civil war was about for the past 8 years. 🤦

            Separated without a legitimate election, unlike the rest of Ukraine, yes. So there were several free elections in most of Ukraine since the revolution, and no free elections in Donbas.

              How were they going to get a legitimate election after a coup overthrew the legitimate government genius?

              and no free elections in Donbas

              Last I checked it was Ukraine and not Donbas that cancelled elections, but do go on. Your fantasies are really interesting.

                Why would they not be able to get one? Are you suggesting Ukrainians are unable to govern themselves or hold free elections? Where is the proof of that?

                Are you suggesting that Ukraine can not ever hold free elections after a coup, but Donbas can while under armed invasion of a foreign country?

                  The proof is in the fact that the regime literally cancelled elections, banned opposition parties, and free media.

                  Are you suggesting that Ukraine can not ever hold free elections after a coup, but Donbas can while under armed invasion of a foreign country?

                  Donbas has had election long before it INVITED Russia to intervene on its behalf. The same way breakaway regions of Yugoslavia invited NATO to intervene.

                    I don’t remember any elections before Russian troops arrived (aka the little green men). When exactly were these elections held?
