This right here is why Russia delays things, they know it won't be long before they install Russian puppets into these countries. This has always been a major reason why "as long as it takes" was stupid. We're experiencing waves across the world of single-issue, uneducated, easily manipulated, anti-establishment voters. It no longer matters if a country supports Ukraine as long as the leader screams about a single issue, for the UK that will be immigrants, despite how pro-Ukraine that the UK is, we will likely vote Reform in.
We never had Hungary but we lost Slovakia, we narrowly avoided losing Moldova, we're on the verge of losing Romania, countries with key logistical hubs into Ukraine. We've essentially lost America. Russia interferes in every single one of these elections with their bot farms via social media and China attacks us too via TikTok and Europe has exactly zero counter to it and just lets it happen.
The UK, France and Germany could have far-right governments in the future who will cut aid to Ukraine and it doesn't matter if the majority support Ukraine still when they're being fooled by these idiots on a single issue, when these idiots pretend they're "anti-establishment" and "of the people" and at this stage I'm kind of done trying to change the mind of Reform voters, if they win then they'll suffer the consequences and UK will burn and collapse worse than Liz Truss budget but can we at least save Ukraine first before we put a bullet in our heads?
The only salvation seems like it would be the parliament system...It makes it a lot harder for these far-right parties to rule without a majority and achieving a majority is often difficult, the only comfort I take is that being the biggest party in parliament doesn't mean you had the majority of votes. But left wing parties are often split, Labour is doing a bang up job of losing all their left wing voters to Lib Dems/Greens but also trying to appeal to right wing voters who will vote Reform no matter what in light of Conservatives collapse into nothing.
I can't see Reform or AfD achieving a majority in parliament so I pray whoever they're forced to coalition with would demand Ukraine support.
