In Ukraine, Poroshenko basically said "we need a constitutional commission" and "they have to be approved by my lackey."
There was absolutely no representation of anyone in this constitution.
If you want to see a democratic constitution, look at Bolivia. Every city, every town, every square meet thousands and thousands of times and each one drafted their version and then via democratic centralization, did they come up with the final version. web.archive.org/web/2007122912…
I am sorry, but Ukraine had more Democracy with The Tsar and the Bulygin constitution than this!
No popular referandum or people's referendum to approve the constitution???
Sounds like an undemocratic-circle-jerk.
Damn it! I was very curious about USAID's Rada program and the constitutional amendments the Rada program proposed...but... that website is gone!
NED's Kyiv post also confirmed it.
Why is Freedom House "delivering remarks"?
Technocratic ghouls working in US law schools should not be near any legal document with a pen.... maybe a pencil... only if. it is clearly erasable.
This is a joke.
Sponsored by the USAID....
I can't wait for PRCAID to have a Senator's program where China comes and writes bills for Senators to introduce, the first bill would be outlawing all capitalist parties!
Imagine the PRCAID ever doing this in the US in their Senate Program.
At least the Tsar did not include "foreign experts"
Apparently, Victoria Nuland stood with them and lobbied for the new constitution.
Privatized Prisons in Ukraine.
These kind of protests, they never tell you about.
If Jesus memes are "attacking America" I don't know what sending the commerce secretary, industrialists and other er "business leaders" to draft their "economic policy and law" is.
Biden's speech to the Rada urging them to do the IMF structural adjustments and also authorizing a lot of money that went God knows where in order to do the whole imf trap.

Maybe if you learned more about Ayatollah Khameini's actions under the brutal US-supported Shah Dictatorship, you wouldn't be waving your jingo-chauvinistic flag
In 1971, Ali Khameinei was placed in the Shah's prisons at the age of 31+
Mexico just ended the diplomatic relations with Ecuador after Ecuador stormed into the Mexican Embassy to arrest former VP Jorge Glas who was seeking asylum there.
This story is interesting and there is a deep rabbit hole.
In 2017, Ecuadorian VP Jorge Glas was sentenced of corruption for alleged bribes involving Brazilian corporation Odebrecht ( Remember their name! it becomes important)
Not long before, Odebrecht again was implicated in the fake corruption scandal involving Lula which was just a judicial coup.
Excellent question: How did Anat, who had no journalism experience, and her 24 yr old co-author Adam Sella (nephew by marriage) come to lead a front page investigation?
I will try to answer.
Her first article in New York Times is on Nov 14, 2023.
The First section lists group mods and their "contract numbers" ie.. meaning they were not employees but contractors (unverified by me) paid to do a certain task: deliver a good, make x etc
Therefore, this claim about them being staff is untrue.
I will of course check to the best of my ability if these people a) were contractors b) their duties..... but that requires more time
🔻Soldiers are always a legitimate target in a battlefield.
🔻Check out this very illuminating diplomatic cable. I feel all of it needs to be read and I cannot summarize it in a tweet. wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/8…
