Afghanistan was democratic during US occupation. Unfortunately, that was overthrown by the taliban when the US pulled out.

It's true. Whether you agree with the actions of the US abroad or not, the US did legitimately try to install a free and fair democratic government in Afghanistan. And it was in place for 20 years - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_in_Afghanistan.
So Ukraine should become permanently occupied by America?
You do know there are other options then occupied by russia or america right?
Saganastic seems to disagree.
You're putting words in my mouth. I was addressing ksynwa's comment, which was honestly a bit tangential and not entirely related to Ukraine. Offering aid is not occupation, and it's a bit silly that you would imply that.
May I ask what or whom that is?
Edit: Ah I get it now
