Question on Ukraine for Smith1776!

Question on Ukraine for Smith1776!

You've been there how many times over how many years for a total of how many days?

However, you answer ... you are this forum's expert from direct experience.

I just heard a caller to C-Span say that Ukraine is run by a dictator and that they'd destroyed all liberties.

I suspect this is hyperbolic and far from the truth?

Surely you have made some of your own observations and have made assessments of what you believe to be the truth in these matters?

If people would accept that every politician wants to be a dictator we could discuss actual solutions like term limits and sortition. But its more fun to just rage at Team Red's leader or Team Blue's leader

This is only my second time in Ukraine. This trip is some 40 days, so combined with my previous trip I think that's 60 or so days total.

Yeah, that's almost certainly pure fear mongering or some kind of propaganda. I don't see any evidence here that there's any kind of autocracy or dictatorship going on.

Definitely far from the truth!
