Why does TCinLA support Ukraine's corrupt, undemocratic one-party right-wing thug regime? Perhaps a hint of the answer can be found in this 2019 quote from "The Nation":
"Five years ago, Ukraine’s Maidan uprising ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, to the cheers and support of the West. Politicians and analysts in the United States and Europe not only celebrated the uprising as a triumph of democracy, but denied reports of Maidan’s ultranationalism, smearing those who warned about the dark side of the uprising as Moscow puppets and useful idiots. Freedom was on the march in Ukraine.
"Today, increasing reports of far-right violence, ultranationalism, and erosion of basic freedoms are giving the lie to the West’s initial euphoria. There are neo-Nazi pogroms against the Roma, rampant attacks on feminists and LGBT groups, book bans, and state-sponsored glorification of Nazi collaborators.
"These stories of Ukraine’s dark nationalism aren’t coming out of Moscow; they’re being filed by Western media, including US-funded Radio Free Europe (RFE); Jewish organizations such as the World Jewish Congress and the Simon Wiesenthal Center; and watchdogs like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Freedom House, which issued a joint report warning that Kiev is losing the monopoly on the use of force in the country as far-right gangs operate with impunity."
He needs attention. And we are giving it to him. I bit his bait. He would be more interesting if he didn't repeat the same stuff over and over. I don't think he understands that anyone who reads knows that there are really bad elements in Ukrainian society. Perhaps John can name a country that is pure of thought, pure of heart and 100% tolerant and democratic. We all could move there and be so happy.
Why is there an inability on this forum to deal with the following quote?

It isn't that you might not be pointing out some truths, John. No doubt, there are awful people in Ukraine - just like everywhere else.
If you really want to participate on this forum and get some positive attention...find some new subjects. Change it up. It's a big, big world with lots of stuff.
For instance, how do you feel about humanity and our approach to the Climate Crisis? It dwarfs every other subject on the planet...doesn't it?

Do you think repetition and reposting really work or are you just trying to take up space in this forum?

Mimi, He repeats because “propaganda” requires it of him
Take your Putin propaganda between your thumb and forefinger, and on the count of 3, ram it up your ass, Putin buttfucker.
