OPINION:
I have to wonder how Sens. Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal, among others, define “democracy.” They support the continued U.S. effort in Ukraine, which they consider to have a democratic form of government.
However, on June 20, Ukraine’s Administrative Court of Appeals No. 8 upheld President Zelenskyy’s banning of 11 political parties. Just recently its National Security and Defense Council decided to crack down against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The executive body issued instructions to submit a bill to parliament banning religious organizations affiliated with Russian centers of influence.
I would hate to think the two senators see this as a form of democracy the U.S. should emulate. I believe they should call the government of Ukraine exactly what it is — a dictatorship — and quit kowtowing to the dictator’s demands.
