(28,824 posts)even if they win this war, they will not win this war. Ukrainians know who they are and what they stand for.

(3,623 posts)I just watched "Servant of the People" - the comedy in which Zelinsky is the lead (and Producer, I think), where he is elected President on a fluke. His main concern is fighting off Russian Oligarchs, that have their greedy hands in all of the government.
I think this is why Russia invaded, the reality of Ukraine rejecting the Oligarchs in their government.

It should be you can either be rich OR have power.
You can't have both.
And it should be enforced ruthlessly. If you make an amount of money and your assets both are above ___ you are not allowed to run for ANY position in politics.
There would be a set amount for all campaigns so the rich couldnt rule by proxy either.
Add in a test to find and screen out sociopaths,narcissists from running as a candidate for any government position would be important too.
That alone would clean a lot of corrupt fascist bullshit out of our politics.
