Astroturfer robot from hell: presents some evidence
Galaxy brain foreign policy expert from reddit: That's actually wrong because I don't believe it.
Please do go on, present the Venezuelan perspective that you know so much of.
lol I fucking wish. Apparently people would only disagree with your genius ideas if they were being paid for it, no sane person would ever deny the truth of the great AnomalousBit!
You did not answer the first question: "are they?" I'm not aware of any war between official Chinese and Indian military forces. I can't really argue about your bizarre conclusions if I don't know what alternative facts you're basing them on. Go on, provide sources, Mr Debunker.
I said he was elected. Now if you don't trust elections as a the only condition for democracy, congratulations, you're on the right track. Now apply that to your "free democratic world" and specifically to Ukraine that has banned elections and executed political opponents. Then at least we can get a more interesting discussion over "how democratic are these countries" besides just having elections.
A swing... And a miss!
Let's bet on it, I think you'll be back.
Either way, let's play a game, which BRICS countries are not democracies? I'll start by saying that India, South Africa and Brazil have clearly elected their leaders democratically in internationally trusted elections , even if some might not like them too much. Then that leaves only Russia (who had at least more elections than Ukraine and has a more popular leader than say the UK) and China (who elected Xi Jinping through democratic centralism of the CPC). Although you might disagree that the systems of the latter two are democratic (much as I disagree that the Yankee system of electing Biden or the UK being a monarchy are themselves democratic), that still leaves the majority of BRICS countries within internationally recognised democratic systems. In order to get through to me you might want to first learn what you're talking about.
You talk a lot about "government-funded astroturfers" which is funny because the we are speaking in English, the home language of the CIA that just loves to infiltrate places. One might wonder, is it not possible that the astroturfer was you all along?
