    The constitution of one of the most corrupt states in Europe has a mechanism whereby the executive can arbitrarily suspend elections?

    Shocking.

      Again, Ukrainian political process isn’t what we are here to talk about

        You don’t get to set the topic. If you don’t want to discuss it then nobody can compell you to do so. Don’t pretend it’s irrelevant to the topic you’ve chosen to engage with just because it’s inconvenient for your arugment to engage with it.

          No, it’s definitely a side topic.

          The topic is technically “did China supply Russia with weapons etc?” But the topic we’ve been talking about for a bit now is “is the invasion justified,” not “is the Ukrainian constitution constructed in an ideal way.”

          The ideal-ness of the constitution has no bearing on whether the invasion was justified, because invading your neighbor and killing thousands of civilians, even if their constitution is not completely ideal, cannot be justified.

          I’m officially announcing now that I am going to sleep. Goodnight, and I hope you can all do some reflecting on whether invading neighboring countries is good or bad. I’m done responding to all of this.

            No reflection needed. Stalin shouldn’t have stopped at Berlin.

            'm done responding to all of this.

            Oh no, the topic decider is gone. However will we go on?
