Yes that’s true. I know exactly what you mean.
What’s to stop them signing a treaty giving away parts of Australia or some of their rights to the CCP?Nothing.…

I can’t see much either, but Krasnodar is a long way east of the Kerch Bridge.
OK I was wrong about the UK elections, I could’ve sworn there was one in 1940.
But there were elections in other commonwealth countries equally on war footing.
Scroll down to point 2
Tyrants usually take advantage, others not.
Example:
No election in France in WW1
I don’t know, but scoffing at supermarkets being full of goods and people driving new cars and going about their daily business are silly if not actually mean and stupid.
Life went on during WWII everywhere, albeit with sacrifice and doing without.
This conflict is not even on the level of the gulf wars and yet people are talking about the 3rd WW.
The Israeli situation can escalate a lot sooner and engulf a lot more countries with devastating effect if Israel feels it has no other choice.
This is where we are today in the “free” world.

Just stop and think about it for a minute.
A large chunk of Ukraine’s territory is under occupation.
A large percent of its population is either displaced or on active duty.
Imagine if they tried to hold an elections and people lining up at a polling station got killed either by Russian bombardment or by Ukraine’s counter measures.
Imagine how Russia will act knowing where certain officials have to be on set days.
If you were an election official in the most pro- Ukraine electorate how safe are you knowing the Russians know exactly where and when you have to be to count votes?
Plus the cost, the organisation required the issues of whether results were valid when so many can’t participate. Would such an election even be constitutional if not all electorates can hold them?
All these are why countries don’t usually hold elections while under invasion.

If you are wondering why Australian politics is not quite operating in the best interests of Australians.
There will be a determined push to fatally degrade Rumble before the US elections get much closer.
Rogan, Carlson, Peterson, Crowder, Oliver, Robinson… the Lizard People will not suffer these heretics to live. Remember what pre-Musk twitter was like, remember Parler being strangled in the crib.
Rumble is remarkable in being just an average streaming platform, glitchy, slow and saturated with ads, but it’s carrying the uncorrupted content that people want.

As I indicated I have no time for either side.
But if Zelensky has no taste or time for elections, he shouldn’t ban ethnic languages or ban a legitimate church either in war time, when he needs the most goodwill of all the citizens.
Makes no sense to me, when unity is required he divides.
I am sure some of the ethnics are against the war but so did the millions of genuine Ukrainians who pissed off to greener pastures.
Really, your country is being invaded, and you’d have no problem with Russian being spoken or people adhering to the Russian orthodox church? Let’s backtrack to WW2 and see how Brits, Americans, and Australians would’ve felt about teaching German or Japanese.
For that matter, is the Ukrainian Orthodox Church allowed in Russia, How about the Ukrainian language?
For someone who claims he has no dog in this fight, you do appear to be supporting the Russian regime.

Russian is not banned, Hungarian and Romanian is, in public, few others possibly I am not aware of.
Ethnic schools and and public meeting places were burned.
Whatever, as the wise people say, I’m finished with this, minds once made up, cannot be changed.
Anyone watched the new TV series We who are about to die?
Apparently an ancient Rome 10-parter with Anthony Hopkins in the first two episodes.
Huh.
So really, there’s no such language ban except as explained below.
Shocking that the Ukrainian government wants to see Ukrainian being used officially since the invasion.

Not sure how this will work out under Kim Jong Haircut. In the UK this sort of destabilising shite would earn them 30 months in the clink.
A German Warship, the Braunschweig, sailed up the Thames last Monday and announced its arrival by blasting the Darth Vader theme from Star Wars.
hahahahaha
The ship also played “London Calling”, by the Clash upon it’s arrival in the UK.
Krauts with a sense of humour, who knew? 😀
Watch the clip in the article, it’s pretty cool actually.
