#4 "the existence of a pro-Western democracy in Ukraine is insufferable to Putin..."

Is the puffing up of the possibility pro-Western democracy in Ukraine is ~~insufferable to Putin~~ essential to us?

Why?

Do we even have the facsimile of "a Western democracy" here on our soil-- we, the heroes of lockdowns and beat downs, of concentration camps and tech-oligarch censorship, of joke ekectiobs and shit-for-brains littke dictators ruling through "emergency decrees" that have no basis and no end?
