@sammuel means that USA has the veto power of the EU, because USA has the right to review the qualifications of democratic countries.
Come on.For sure democracy is not a country that has been ruled by the same dictator for the last 22 years and recently have abolished free press in his country all together.
Russian Journalist Accused Of Discrediting Army Sent To Psychiatric Hospital
Russian journalist Maria Ponomarenko, who was detained in St. Petersburg in April on accusations of discrediting the Russian armed forces in social-media posts about the war in Ukraine, has been transferred to a Siberian psychiatric hospital, her lawyer reported on July 2.
Lawyer Sergei Podolsky said Ponomarenko will be evaluated at the Altai Clinical Psychological Hospital for 28 days.
Ponomarenko, who lives and works in the Altai region city of Barnaul and is the mother of two young children, was transferred from St. Petersburg to Barnaul late last month.
“Today I went there and handed over a parcel for her,” Novosibirsk activist Yana Drobhokhod told RFE/RL. “She is not allowed to receive letters or visits from relatives. She is allowed to meet with her lawyers.”
Ponomarenko faces up to 10 years in prison for a Telegram post about the Russian bombing of a theater in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol in which hundreds of civilians were killed. A Russian law passed in March criminalizes the dissemination of "fake" reports that "discredit the armed forces."

Did Russia ever have?did Ukraine ever looked like a stable democracy in all its history ?
In addition, the so-called "democratic state" is not just a definition of Americans. Chinese people also have it. Dare you listen?For sure democracy is not a country that has been ruled by the same putin/dictator , for the last 22 years , and recently have abolished free press in his country all together.

did Russia ever wanted to be part of EU ?Did Russia ever have?

The Chinese believe that the state is the tool used by the ruling group to rule the ruled group. A democratic country means that the ruling group is the people, and the people rule the plutocrats with the tool of the state.
The country where the plutocrats rule the people through the state is not a democratic country.
What is the exact definition of "democratic election"?'Democratic State" means that there is a government by the people via free electoral system.
Anything else is not a democratic state.
Democracy is the polity where power originates from the people, is exercised by the people and serves the interests of the people.
Yes we know all about how “democratic” those one party/communist dictatorships are.In addition, the so-called "democratic state" is not just a definition of Americans. Chinese people also have it. Dare you listen?

Now you tell me honestly, China and the USA, which country's ruling group is the plutocrats? Which country's ruling group is the people?
'Democratic State" means that there is a government by the people via free electoral system.

Let me fix it for you:@jhungary, you did not believe me when I said the Ukrainian civilians welcome the Russians and allies in the liberated cities.
Even conservative sources point out that majority of civilian deaths are caused by russia, and before that the russian seperatists.
How would you describe a democracy ?

The issue should never be about "Democracy", "Socialism" or " Communism", all of these ideology arise due to inequality at the time. Unfortunately human emotions/greed/sins stand in the way of any political entity/system. Power corrupts absolutely. So this debate is quite pointless and only flamed by political propaganda. My view is that it's better to have competing ideology to check the power of all governments. The argument should be about Unipolar vs Multipolar + Regionalism vs Globalization. Ukraine Russia war clearly points to an inflection point where the power of US led unipolar coalition are being tested. Russia clearly wants to establish a new multipolar world order to challenge the Americans/EU.Yes we know all about how “democratic” those one party/communist dictatorships are.
From Stalin proclaiming the ussr the most democratic country, to north korea, to Pol pot democratically sending his people to die, to Mao’s “democratic” rule which led to the deaths of millions.
“I am the sole voice of the people” is a cause for great concern, not something to boast about…..
You don't understand Mao Zedong, and I'm not interested in explaining the famine of 1958/1961 to you. If you think that the death caused by famine is Mao Zedong's massacre, and the death caused by the great depression in 1929/1933 is not a massacre. It's up to you.Yes we know all about how “democratic” those one party/communist dictatorships are.

Though no system is perfect, some might have more checks and balances to abuse of power. Putin removed all his checks and balances…Xi is doing similar.The issue should never be about "Democracy", "Socialism" or " Communism", all of these ideology arise due to inequality at the time.
