Turning back to the illegal invasion of Ukraine
Politico reported yesterday that four Trump officials have been talking to Zelensky's political rivals in secret, in a bid to find a replacement for him.

Wonderful. Fantastic. Amazing.
I'm not even sure what to call this...
How do Westerners maintain a serious face when they go about accusing Russia of "meddling in their democratic process"?
On just the example of Ukraine:
1) Biden publicly boasted about how he arrived in Kiev and ordered President Poroshenko to fire his Chief Prosecutor - otherwise he would not receive a further tranche of aid. Here's his direct words:
"I said, 'You're not getting the billion. I'm going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: I'm leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money.' Well, son of a *****. (Laughter.) He got fired."2) Trump tells Zelensky that unless he provides dirt on Hunter Biden, he can forget about military aid. Of course he got impeached for this, but still...
3) Trump says Zelensky has no legitimacy in Ukraine and must go, despite there being a constitutional ban on elections in Ukraine during martial law.
4) Trump talks to Zelensky's opponents, in an effort to encourage them to run.
Uhmmm... if that's not interference I don't know what is.
What were we accused of again? Hacking Hillary's email server? Spending a couple hundred thousand bucks on TikTok to help a Romanian candidate? Selling cheap gas to Orban?
How can any of these things be compared to your vice president flying into Ukraine, putting his feet on the president's table, and giving him an hours long ultimatum to fire a key government official? Hmm?
So many words about democracy, from the Beacon of Democracy, except it doesn't seem to understand what it is.
