Trump on elections in Ukraine...

[Missourian]

This is a poll thread. The question is... If there is a ceasefire in place, should there be elections in Ukraine before a peace treaty is negotiated.

Zelensky's five year term ended a year ago.

Putin held elections last year.

should there be elections in Ukraine before a peace treaty is negotiated.

Of course. The question will be, who watches the polls to make sure they are legit?


Ukrainians, folks from the EU? China, Russia or India?

Putin held elections last year.

Putin held elections. Holy crap.

Disbelief and Anger: Ukrainians React to Trump’s ‘Absurdity’

Trump on Tuesday appeared to blame Kyiv for the fact that Russia invaded it nearly three years ago, sparking the deadliest war in Europe since the end of World War II.

Trump claimed that Zelensky had only a 4% approval rating. Zelensky’s popularity, which soared after he refused to flee in the face of an invasion by a much bigger and better-armed foe, has eroded in the intervening three years of war but has never dipped below 50%, according to the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS).

I know, I know: Fake news.

I figured they could just mail out the ballots to every registered voter and put up unmanned ballot boxes on the streets.

That's how we did it in 2020, and we had the most secure election in history.

Trump needs to shut up about elections after his punk ass incited an insurrection because he lost one.

Then no reason not to hold elections... Right?

Zelensky should easily win if his support is truly above 50%.

That puts you in the 'hold elections' camp then...correct?

 

[IM2]

Trump does live in a disinformation space.

I'm going to listen to this when I go out and take care of the animals and clear the driveway. Thanks.

[Rambunctious]

Let the people of Ukraine speak... why are we supporting a dictatorship?...

So you're also in the "hold elections" camp... Right?

Defending Democracy.

 

[Rambunctious]

So I guess Trump can get a third and fourth term by starting a war?????

Putin is a dictator and so is Zelenskky.

Both have complete control of their media.

 

[DGS49]

First of all, there are millions of people who fled Ukraine and should have a vote in any election. Second, there is not sufficient time for any opposing candidate to get his (her) message out. Third, in a country where corruption is rampant - from even before the Russian invasion - the campaign would be a shit-show.

The agreement to end the war MUST have a commitment from Zelensky to hold elections within a fixed, reasonable period.

Trump nailed it, Schumer cries.

I'd like to see elections first.

As a referendum on the handling of the war direct from the citizenry.

An overwhelming vote of confidence would give Zelensky much more leverage, reinforcing the will of Ukrainian's to continue the fight.

If he is defeated, perhaps it signals mistakes were made on both sides... which happens to be my perspective as well.

The ghost of Jimmy Carter?

Or the Ghost of Kiev?

 

[BluesLegend]

Dems call fairly ELECTED Trump a dictator, while supporting an actual dictator in Ukraine.

 

[excalibur]

Let the people of Ukraine speak... why are we supporting a dictatorship?...

Yeah, Democrats sure are, and clowns like Lindsey Graham as well. Graham is the new old John McCain, both of whom helped overthrow a democratically elected President of Ukraine, and ushered in the 2014 revolution.

Result? We ended up with a guy who plays the piano with his penis on stage and cancels elections.

'Muh, democracy'.
