Newsflash: Kasparov stepped down and is no longer HRF chairman. Just happened in the past few weeks.
Anyway: Appreciate you outlining some of Putin’s downsides — they extend considerably to massive war crimes, attacks on children’s hospitals, civilian power and water infrastructure, etc
As for Z: IMO (personal view) there is Martial Law in Ukraine not because Zelenskyy is some power-hungry dictator but because the country was invaded by and is each day destroyed by a much larger military force
I am against conscription in general, especially for foreign wars and wars of choice. My father was conscripted to fight in Vietnam which was lunacy. But if someone invaded my home town I would find it hard to judge my community or government if they wanted to enact conscription to defend the land.
I am also against financial restrictions when it comes to forex, gold, or bitcoin, some of which have come to pass in Ukraine (and I’ve shared these btw on Twitter)
As far as elections, again I find it hard to question the status quo. Should a country just proceed as normal if it is being all-out attacked? This isn’t some fake war, Russia has tens of thousands of troops on Ukrainian territory. Today. Murdering and killing innocents. I have seen polls indicating that the public doesn’t want an election until the war is over. I would be happy to see elections but again I understand why they are not proceeding as normal.
I wish these abnormal things did not occur. But realistically Ukraine has two choices: fight for its own survival, or submit to Russian military occupation. I do not judge them for fighting back.
