2022-09-21 at 10:09 PM UTCDespite the crack down on democracy by the fascist government of Ukraine "banning" regional referendums, they will go ahead as planned and the peoples voice will be heard and recognized internationally. I for one look forward to seeing democracy in action and applaud either outcome
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/9/20/russia-unfolds-annexation-plan-for-ukraineSimultaneous votes in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions have been scheduled from September 23 to September 27. In a speech on Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested that Moscow would recognize the results.
Just as it did with the Crimean annexation in 2014, Russia is making a point of appearing not to be involved. It was local Ukrainian politicians supported by the Russian military who announced the so-called "referendums." As in the case of Crimea eight years ago, the vote was brought forward from a previously suggested date — that of November 4. Regional referendums are banned in Ukraine. Like in Crimea, there will be no independent election monitoring. -

2022-09-23 at 11:58 AM UTCTHE ELECTION IS TODAY FOLX WHAT WILL THE PEOPLE DECIDE???
I HOPE IT GOES 50/50 AND FORMER NEIGHBORS BECOME ENEMIES OH MAN JUST IMAGINE "gear up lads, that farm house down the street will be full of RUSSIANS/UKRANIANS unless we take it first!"
I think Putlers plan is by calling democratic elections to sew chaos because we all know democracy is not stable I mean, just look at iraq and afghanistan and how well it worked for them.
Get out that vote!

2022-09-23 at 12:13 PM UTCYou know what's funny? Poland is talking about using this as cover to run their own referendum in the west, specifically for the area around Lviv to join Poland. If they do they have a pretty good chance of succeeding considering the difference in living conditions between Ukraine and Poland, and it'll be fun to see the media try to paint the Polish one as legitimate but the Russian one illegitimate

if they use nuclear weapons it'll be on NATO, not on the Ukraine.
they've used conventional weapons to hit weapons in Kiev and Lvov, so why wouldn't they be able to destroy political and command centres there?
why do you think they've chosen not to? -

2022-09-23 at 2:05 PM UTCwhat benefit do you think there is to using nuclear weapons on the Ukraine?
why do you think Russia is drawing 300,000 soldiers from reserves to fight in the Ukraine when they have a standing army of around one million? -

Well they already tried and failed didn't they...that was also thousands of lives and millions/billions of equipment ago...and they aren't doing any better conventionally.
Again...pretty much the same decision the USA made, save lives and end the war quickly...it worked for the USA. -

Okay but the elections seem legit to me. What's wrong if they join Russia? It should be up to them,not us
