Oh boy the reddit imperialists are angry with this one
From the latest Perceptions of Democracy index, from NIRA Data:
Ukrainians are among the most skeptical of the democratic processes in their country. Meanwhile, even a country as hotly contested as Venezuela, faith in elections is skyrocketing. And this is gathered by a western org run by a NATO official.

Canceling elections is totally fine if it's our guy
What part of martial law do you not understand?
A country being invaded can be and will be overthrown if possible. In fact, it's been done many times in European imperialist history.
That's why the clause exists, even before democracy was normalized in Europe. Just find someone else in line for procession and install a puppet prince.
It's even been abused. Some speculate that Trump would trigger martial law to stay in office - or even Netenyahu himself clinging to power.
In the end you don't want a captured government. That's also historically been really bad.
Ukraine already has a captured government. 😜
