Did anyone else catch that?
One of Krasnov's toadies asked if there was peach - would Zelensky hold elections.
And Krasnov is like 'Hmm so you can't have a elections during a war. That's very interesting'
Paraphrasing. But the gist of it all.
What does he find interesting about that?
And why isn't the s.ob. dead yet? Like - can he just fucking die already.

He also might think it's interesting because if they can't hold elections, they're down to one option: off Zelensky.

I think ANY questions asked by the Toadies (Hand Selected Faux Press Corp) were plants.

The last time you embarrassed the US during a Z visit. He tried to explain it to you then but your sycophants were securely attached to your grundle and you were distracted.

Of course, it won't matter that other US presidents have had elections during wartime.

(38,109 posts)The CSA wasn't an existential threat to Europe.
Hitler had not yet been born to show the world what feckless appeasement would result in.
The weapons of war were not used to deliberately target a housing cluster in Philadelphia.
There was no Holodor as a predecessor of what the CSA was capable of. We know what the Russkies are capable of.
The Russians will always Russian.
Why would anyone want to force a point of weakness and distraction from victory on Ukraine - when the murderous dictator in Russia gets to do whatever he wants?
