context: They should be planning on elections in Russia >
  
  "elections" >
  
  Erections >
  
  Herschel? >
  
  Do they want a Werewolf over there? >
  
  Please, an ASPIRING werewolf. >
  
  Crazy to assume they will still be occupying them 9 months from now.... >
  
  This is just posturing. Russia will be fortunate to have any boots on the ground in Ukraine by then at the rate they’re losing men and territory. >
  
  I think a lot of people overestimate. they only had about 10 million men of fighting age when they started due to their demographics crisis. now there's 100k dead, another 700k at least have fled, who knows how many captured and wounded, and we are only barely started with winter. there's a reason we are seeing grey haired conscripts, it's because they haven't got enough young people. they know they can't send all the young men to die - they might try but there's a breaking point. >
  
  While we don’t talk about it much, the Ukrainians are bleeding for every inch. They may be heroes, but the sheer human cost of even stalemate would be tremendous; victory may be catastrophic. >
  
  Ukraine has only lost 300 men. >
  
  There is 0 chance that's true >
  
  The mighty 300 >
  
  So, the same kind of "elections" in which Putin gets 127% of the vote? >
  
  Wouldn't it be funny if a Ukrainian saboteur changed every vote to zelensky >
  
  Not like anyone would be counting those votes. >
  
  or casting them if we're honest. >
  
  They only counted blank ballots as voting to join Russia in the last "100% pure honnest and open referendum"! They didn't count any of the "No" votes as a "Yes", mostly because they didn't allow "No" votes to be cast. >
  
  So many of the inhabitants of those regions have fled the war or been forcibly relocated into Russia as prisoners that the results would be 100% illegitimate even without outright forgery. If anyone acts like these elections could be taken seriously in any way, they are either a shill or a moron. >
  
  Would you like to vote for “a puppet” or “this bullet to the back of your head”?  Thanks for participating in this free and fair election. >
  
  September 2023? How will they hold elections in territories they don't have? >
  
  Maybe it doesn't matter at all. They don't need to hold the territories to invent the results. They could even claim that 110% of New-Yorkers voted to join Russia. >
  
  Eh... Didn't they already hold votes and only North Korea respects the outcome? I'm confused. >
  
  Early polls have Putin winning 121% of the vote. >
  
  And his popularity is up by 1600%! >
  
  1600% of zero is still zero >
  
  Lol, "occupied" as if they'll still be there in September. >
  
  Bold of them to assume they'll have control at that point. >
  
  By the time September rolls around Ukraine will be in Moscow. >
  
  By then, Ukraine may be holding elections in Western Russia. >
  
  You mean Eastern Ukraine? >
  
  Kievan Rus* >
  
  The Kremlin has already proven they can't plan shit. >
  
  So no elections. Ok >
  
  They can have the half a bridge they have I guess.... >
  
  Only the part that's in the water... >
  
  All of it then this time next year? >
  
  The territories that they are currently shelling. >
  
  Yeah go send your politicians to Ukraine, make sure you fill their pockets with lots of sunflower seeds. >
  
  It is not even certain Russian forces will be occupying Russia come September 2023. >
  
  Kremin "plans" "elections" in "occupied" territories of Ukraine in September 2023. >
  
  I thought Ukraine had already elected to kick them tf out... >
  
  I don't think it's a good idea to give a deadline to Ukraine, it will just give more motivation to kick these morons in the butt >
  
  One bombed out building, one vote.
  Democracy!! >
  
  Lol that's brave to think they will still hold those lands in Sept of 23... >
  
  In other news, the tooth fairy has decided to join the Russian electoral commission. >
  
  I am 101 % sure what the outcome will be >
  
  That's optimistic >
  
  So Belgorod then? >
  
  Best not skip your Nuremberg trial Russia >
  
  “Elections” >
  
  Why not yesterday ? Since they have he results already >
  
  Choices will be: A) Surrender, or, B) RUN BITCH, RUN!! >
  
  And C) DANCE MOTHERF***ER >
  
  Right Elections 
  Choice between Putin and Putin and Gulag >
  
  It would require the Donbass to still be under Russian occupation. >
  
  Shut the fuck up and withdraw from Ukraine >
  
  Didn't they literally already do this trick? >
  
  There aren't going to be any occupied territories by September 2023. >
  
  if it happened, not matter thematic of it, "edinaya rossiya" will won with 146 percent voices. >
  
  Yeah, that and the cybertruck >
  
  Look at that , they're bringing democracy to Europe . Thank you Mr.Putin . >
  
  Ha ha ha. As of they will be there then >
  
  Great, new assassination targets - they're running low on 'officials' >
  
  That’s bold of them to assume they’ll be in control of those areas 9 months from now. >
  
  The same type elections republicans want in America. They'll tell US who the winners are. >
  
  Very optimistic of them >
  
  Didn't they just do that? >
  
  No, they held faked referendums on whether those territories "wanted" to join Russia. 
  Now they're going to hold sham elections on who to send to the Duma and shit. >
  
  Ukraine will be deep in Russia if they choose to be come September 👌 >
  
  Sept 2023? Are they still gonna be around for that? >
  
  Hopefully they aren’t there by that time anymore >
  
  There might be elections there, but no Russians will be a part of it. >
  
  They meant erections but they mispronounced the L >
  
  Come on, Russia, Ukraine has already said they don't intend to invade Russia. By September 2023, there won't be any occupied Russian lands to hold elections in, whether or not the Ukrainians would be generous enough to let you hold one in land under their control. >
  
  Another election? Wasn’t once fixed one enough? >
  
  Maybe they plan to have their soldiers vote on if they want to surrender or die? >
  
  Election is fake. They’re just doing this so they can discreetly conscript men and women who are eligible for meat grinding at their fronts. >
  
  “We hold erection for king!” >
  
  Kremlin "plans" “elections” in "occupied" territories of Ukraine in "September 2023" >
  
  The Kremlin can Plan all day everday but doesn't mean shit. >
  
  Pff.  Ukraine will control all major Ukrainian cities by September 2023. If they have not fully forced Russia out by then.  That's way too far in the future for Putin to be so cocky. >
  
  Didn’t they hold ‘elections’ already this year.? >
  
  Fucking delusional people >
  
  DeMoCrAcY iN aCtIoN
  
  Noam Chomsky, probably >
  
  Why.. would Noam Chomsky say something like that? He's against imperialism-like stuff >
  
  Only american “imperialism” - he’s all for anyone who stands up to America no matter who they are or what they do. >
  
  I really don't believe that, can you gimme some examples? >
  
  I've read that interview and have to say that he's not some kind of pro-Russian puppet. He agrees that Russian initiatives to bomb the shit out of infrastructure and have citizens suffer is a war crime; that doesn't sound very pro-Russian, wouldn't you agree? Saying that Russians are committing war crimes? Beyond that, he seems to be half ranting against US strategies and half explaining how indeed the people will suffer due to the stalemate and how some want diplomatic resolutions. He's not really commenting on whether it's the right thing or not, he's just explaining the conflict is not going well for the average person and he's probably correct: being in a war-torn region never feels good.
  Sure there's a lot of ranting against US imperialism and little against Russian imperialism, I'll give you that. And he did seem to imply some US promise about moving NATO closer to Russia, I'll agree on that too; I wish he had said more though because if it's that verbal agreement at/near the dissolution of the USSR, it's weak sauce. >
  
  He’s actively against sending military support to Ukraine. If he’s not explicitly pro-russian, he’s at least a so called “useful idiot” >
  
  Help me see where he says that support shouldn't be sent; not that sending support will result in war or stalemate or conflict, but that it's a bad thing morally to do so. Something like that. Does he says so in a paragraph that can be read? >
  
  "Should Russians leave Ukraine?" is the only vote they should be counting >
  
  So since Ukraine citizens live there they will vote for Zelenskyy >
  
  Except for the guns being pointed at them >
  
  Ukrainians are like hunny badgers 🦡 they don’t give a funk… point those guns… they will vote for Zelenskyy >
  
  That's great, until they pull the trigger and submit a vote for them anyway.
  "His dying breath was to join Mother Russia" >
  
  Good point… probably just rig the election like we do in the US >
  
  True.  I mean, just look at all those Republicans being caught for election fraud... >
  
  Yes, election fraud. 
  You thought I was republican? Just American 🇺🇸 >
  
  Nobody said you were Republican.  Sounds like a guilty conscience >
  
  Quit projecting.  You're the one bleating about election fraud and supposedly being called a Republican >
  
  You and what army? >
  
  By September it might be the occupied territories in russia getting elections. >
  
  The use "" is right. Just like the existing elections in Russia that put keeps Putin in power. you have voted people.... but here's the person who is to lead you. >
  
  Didn't they already have those this year? 🤔 >
  
  Yea, the areas of Russia that Ukraine will be occupying by then will probably want out of Russia at that point. >
  
  In Kherson too? >
  
  That's an... interesting way to engage in election fraud >
  
  It'll be fully inhabited by Ukraine lol, how does this even work
