    Yo! Wtf don’t you understand about no changes being allowed during wartime? It’s not like the president is the aggressor here, perpetually keeping his country at war to avoid elections. It can only disenfranchice people to make changes to the government via a vote at this time.

    Passing a new constitution during martial law would be sketchy as hell.

      He doesn’t care if is posible or not, this people only want to make Zelenisky as a bad person. He isn’t perfect by any means but he is one of the ropes holding Ukraine right now, and for that the pro Russian want to bring down his image and by that make Ukraine weaker

      The 14th amendment in the US and the 1864 election happened in war time.

      Changes can be made during war time. An old constitution saying you can’t is irrelevant.

      A new constitution that is identical to the old one except it takes away dictatorial powers from those passing the constitution wouldn’t be sketchy at all.

        Opponents will always point to it as a violation of the existing constitution and be right. Why is it so important to you that they don’t follow their laws? Are you that desperate to come up with excuses to upset the current governmental structure of nation under seige?

        I’m just gonna assume that at this point, you are a Russian stooge trying to subvert their enemy’s government online.

          I don’t care if they don’t have an election right now. Its fine with me if they don’t. My complaint is using “the constitution says so” to justify things like dictatorships as if its a real argument rather than simply begging the question. I don’t even like when people use it as if it were an argument for things like being pro-freedom of speech. Its simply deflection.

        On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely were civilian areas to be hit by artillery shells and rockets during the civil war?

        Hint: the maximum range of a cannon at that time was barely a mile.
