Ultimately, democracy means that the people can elect either their representatives or directly influence legislation. Democracy from demos (people) and kratos (rule). What matters is that people can chose who they are being represented by or how legislation will be themselves.

You could definitely argue that a democracy could elect a government that works against their interest. Like the US as an example.

No idea, I'm not ukranian! You'll have to search for that yourself.

Oh my, I'm not going to continue this. I was curious about your claim of IAEA sideing with Ukraine and I got an answer for that, thank you.

Here's a link to the 2019 presidential election if you're interested. Zelensky is in green.

This is the result for the Servant of the People (Zelenskys party, which is pro EU and pro Nato)

No lol. But some of your reasoning is based on untrustworthy news outlets. As well as the video you uncritically linked tells me that maybe you’re not that picky with reliable sources. ^^

It is true that the Ukraine did hinder the IAEA from entering the occupied power plant, but that would argue that they wouldn’t side with the Ukraine. Your reasoning is contradictory and mostly based on unreliable news sources is all I’m saying.

Who knows. Or maybe they shelled those ukranian commandos you wrote about. The russians haven’t really been that careful about their troops in a nuclear environment.

Yes, and it was unclear who made them according to credible news sources. So it’s bold to say it’s Ukraine firing on their own staff, their own power plant and risking a nuclear accident in their own country? Can’t read russian and a Moscowbased newspaper is perhaps not the most trustworthy source. Neither the iranian one… :P

Yes it seems like the ukranians was afraid that letting the IAEA in to inspect while Russia still controlled the power plant would somehow ‘cement’ their position there? Strange reasoning. Anyway, you claim that the IAEA sides with Ukraine even though they supposedly where hindered by them, glad to be protected against them and even pushed a statement reafirming Russias narrative about a ‘special military operation’. That’s an interesting train of thought.

Btw a quick web search can tell you that the subs in that video isn't true.

Exactly. And I think that they also wouldn't increase their arsenal to show that they don't want to aggrevate the situation back to the cold war. Maybe Russia will say that since the US is modernizing it's arsenal they will have to do the same?

IAEA taking a side, that's an interesting claim? Can't find any verified sources about Ukraine firing at their own nuclear power plant, can you provide one? Seems weird that they would risk such a huge catastrophe in their own country even though the russians in breach of the Geneva convention stationed forces there.

Probably. Interesting enough all of these except India, Pakistan and Israel (which claims to have no nukes lol) have signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons where one of the pillars is decreasing their nuclear arsenals.. One atomic bomb is one to much tbh. :/

Hopefully neither part will increase their nuclear arsenal. However I doubt that the US would even if Russia did.
