🇺🇦❌🗳Ukraine Schedules Elections for the Fifth of Never ➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿ While the West seems to specialize in deciding which elections are valid, "free and fair," and worthy of recognition, it also seems to specialize in turning a blind eye when their handpicked puppet dictators suspend elections and rule as tyrants. Ukraine is on track to have elections, well, never. ✏️Bryan Anthony Reo is a licensed attorney based in Ohio and an analyst of military history, geopolitics, and international relations. ➡️Constitutionally, Ukraine was supposed to hold elections in the early spring months of 2024. Zelensky cited concerns over the war and suspended all elections in Ukraine. Ukrainian elections have been tentatively scheduled for the 5th of Never. If Ukraine actually held elections, there would be ample numbers of volunteers lining up to vote the Zelensky government out of power and into prison. The collective West has spent decades preaching about the primacy of liberal democracy—condemning Belarus in 2020 and endlessly condemning Russia. Now the West must explain Ukraine's total lack of elections. If non-Western approved elections in Belarus are bad, how does a Western talking head or a technocratic empty suit such as Macron describe Ukraine's total lack of elections? ➡️Perhaps the refrain will be: "Well, there is a war, the situation is dire." Yet the United States managed to hold elections in 1864 in the middle of a civil war, during World War Two, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The idea that Ukraine cannot hold an election because of war is naïve nonsense. Zelensky's government cannot survive the holding of such elections. Zelensky is in a position similar to Netanyahu in Israel—the holding of elections or the ending of a war means the collapse of the government and the end of personal freedom. Zelensky has a lot at stake: not just freedom and plundered wealth, but his very life. 🟦The nations that insist on international approval for elections are usually those where governments have approval ratings below 30%—Germany and France. Yet President Lukashenko in Belarus has an approval rating of at least 70%. President Putin's approval rating is 74%. Macron's approval rating hovers around 18%; Merz comes in at 13%. France and Germany are supposed pillars of Western democracy—sitting as international arbiters of legitimacy. A leader with 13% approval actively dismantling his nation's power grid is legitimate, yet leaders with 70-90% approval are not. The West's narrative that "Russia is evil" can only be maintained if they maintain a monopoly on information. They have banned RT and Sputnik since 2022. The Western narrative cannot withstand their populations having access to Russian information. The important thing to remember is that Ukraine is scheduling elections for the fifth of never—and the West is perfectly fine with this.
