>Funding of free press is supporting a democracy
It's not really "free" if they depend on foreign donations. Do you believe that those donations come with no strings attached? If the Ukrainian "free press" disagreed with the party line, would they still receive money? Or would they be banned, like the opposition parties that opposed Zelensky?
>Wars are bad and that's why people starting wars should eat shit.
In the real world, this is not how things work. The loser always pays the price. The longer the war goes on, the more Russia will ask for in reparations. If the war continues for a few more years, and the Ukraine loses more land and people, will this be better for them? Can they at least have a referendum, to make sure this is what Ukrainians really want?
