The coup of a democratically elected government, that led to a dictatorship, that we're framing as necessary for our 'defense of democracy'.
Our stated justification for propping up the Zelensky regime is that its a beacon of democracy, even though the last democratically elected government was overthrown, the country sundered and unable to hold free and fair elections, and now Zelenksy banned all his political opposition and seized all media. So besides the 'literally in bed with Nazi war criminals' thing, its a complete undermining of our pretense for our limited involvement. Western democracies don't get suspended in times of war and a dictator appointed, we aren't calling upon Cincinnatus. And the Japanese-Americans in WW2 were not a political power, nor does it make for a winning argument to rationalize Zelenksy as channeling internment.
What's our motivation as a country? What's our strategic interest? After Iraq and Afghanistan, are we really to be led around by jingoist chuds who cite some vague and unintelligible sense of democratic righteousness and denounce any dissenters as traitors and cowards? Been there, done that.
as i stated a few pages back, our purpose is to surround Russia with allied nations as the market for their main exports of oil, gas, coal, etc which compromise most of their economy dwindle so that as they grow increasingly desperate in their homogeneous economic situation they can't do much but cooperate. hopefully to a point where they have no choice but to strike a deal and denuclearize at least to a significant degree for a bailout. that's a 50-100 year plan most likely, maybe more.
but you also dont seem to be able to help yourself in skipping over relevant facts, such as that his order is temporary for the duration of martial law, not ratified in their constitution. that its a result of escalating war, and now put in motion in the midst of full out war. dont do that, dont skip things just for expediency. the japanese were a potential spy network to FDR, so he imprisoned them. Zeleknsky took away the power for a small number of political parties to hand out fliers, and they're walking around free.
