Lol babe
Bill Clinton talks about NATO and Russia.

I Tried to Put Russia on Another Path
My policy was to work for the best, while expanding NATO to prepare for the worst.www.theatlantic.com
It's almost fun to see all the hobgoblins in the "progressive" mind. You see extremists everywhere. Everyone who won't just roll over and comply. Zelensky has outlawed political parties he fears might be pro-Russian even after the horrid invasion, a spectrum of small parties dotting the whole political panopoly of Ukraine, but which add up to more than half the population.![]()
The White House is freaked out that Putin's next big win could be in Paris
If Russia apologist Marine LePen wins the French elections, Washington fears she could unravel the Western NATO alliance.www.politico.com
“A Le Pen victory, once unthinkable, would present the European Union with its biggest crisis since Brexit, potentially triggering a slow death rattle for the constellation of countries and completely upending a continent. And in the short term, it would deeply shake the pro-Ukraine coalition that extends from Warsaw to Washington.”
Lol poor innocent sweet Russia.
Suppression of some types of opposition in wartime has been a part of every war in human history, and the "small parties" aren't even a tenth of Ukraine's population, much less more than half.It's almost fun to see all the hobgoblins in the "progressive" mind.

Dud,e your sources are useless NWO, QAnon and Deep State quacks and Russian propaganda. Stop reading patriot patel and other pro Trump quacks. Seriously, stop. You are disgrace with this ********.Ukranian forces include and in fact are run by ideological NAZI people who believe Hitler should have won WWII. Racists, and all that. They have been tough fighters in the donbas, and have done 3everything we accuse Putin of doing. Again, I don't know so much except what I can read and evaluate from available sources,
Don't be such a damned liar when you know the truth. I posted above a link to a Ukranian reporter discussing the eleven parties. I'll post it again, but I expect the most abject apology and admission of the truth you can manage. The main opposition party which has had sustained influence, even holding majorities in the parliament and consequently holding the Presidency, with Russian alliance and support leads the list.Suppression of some types of opposition in wartime has been a part of every war in human history, and the "small parties" aren't even a tenth of Ukraine's population, much less more than half.
In contemporary Ukraine, political parties rarely survive more than one electoral cycle. The super-electoral year 2019 changed the party structure once again in Ukraine. A year later, there is already palpable interest on the part of the citizenry in new parties, as people have started losing trust in the current ones.
The second largest faction in the Rada and the largest opposition faction, Opposition Platform–For Life (OPFL), a surviving splinter of the Party of Regions, has forty-four seats. Yuriy Boiko, a close associate of ex-president Viktor Yanukovych, is the party's nominal chairman. However, the real leadership of the faction is shared with Viktor Medvedchuk. Medvedchuk, who was the head of the presidential administration under Leonid Kuchma, today is the owner of growing media holdings and a public friend of Russian president Vladimir Putin. Despite the negative view of Russian aggression in Ukraine’s East and the annexation of Crimea, a considerable number of Ukrainian voters support the OPFL.
According to a recent poll, the president would be reelected today by 37.6 percent of decided voters. His main rivals―Petro Poroshenko (16.2 percent), Yuriy Boiko (13.2 percent), and Yulia Tymoshenko (8.7 percent)―significantly lag as choices. The parties show a similar apportionment of support: Servant of the People is supported by 28 percent of decided voters, OPLF by 17.7 percent, Poroshenko’s European Solidarity by 16.2 percent, and Tymoshenko’s Fatherland by 8 percent. However, Zelensky saw his support slip by more than five percentage points just from April to June, and his party lost more than 4 percent.
You're seriously mistaken. None of those are my sources. You should look up the links I post with my comments. I read a lot of stuff. I have to try hard not to swallow the cool aid you swizzle.Dud,e your sources are useless NWO, QAnon and Deep State quacks and Russian propaganda. Stop reading patriot patel and other pro Trump quacks. Seriously, stop. You are disgrace with this ********.

Only two of those parties got more than 0.5% of the vote.Here is the list of parties Zelensky has banned:

Opposition political parties banned in Ukraine and 'unified information policy' imposed : Peoples Dispatch
Zelensky justified the ban on mostly left and anti-NATO parties in the country by claiming that they had alleged links with Russia, despite the fact that most of these parties have publicly opposed Russian interventionpeoplesdispatch.org
The 11 political parties banned include Opposition Platform for Life, which has 39 seats in the 450-seat Ukrainian parliament. Among the other parties banned are the Party of Sharity, Nashi (Ours) Party, Left Opposition, Union of Left Forces, Socialist parties. Several of these are left-wing parties and have been opposed to Ukrainian membership of NATO and the European Union (EU).
Again, standard stuff in war time.Zelensky shut down three TV stations before the invasion,

I acknowledge the percent of support is well over a tenth. It doesn't seem to be as high as a fifth. Since you claimed "more than half", you lied on a much larger scale. I doubt any abject apology will be forthcoming on your part.
