      I’m just not sure why being the invaded party is the deciding factor here. Do the people not get a say in who leads their defense, only their offense?

          No, I’m not. Could you please at least engage in the conversation if you’re going to reply?

              Having a different perspective than you doesn’t make me a troll. I never thought I’d be called a troll for saying maybe they should conduct an election.

                violating their own constitution. fuck off, you know what you’re doing. you’re being disingenuous and arguing in bad faith

                  I’m not familiar with Ukraine’s constitution, but frankly I don’t put much stock in the idea of an indelible constitution.

                  You’ll usually have more luck convincing people of your perspective by not insulting them, btw.

                    i’m not trying to convince you. you’re being disingenuous and arguing in bad faith.
