[Edit] Hmmm, they would need fake opponents too, to practice on. (Looks suspiciously at Sparko).

And Zelenskyy did not invade Ukraine and bomb his people, that was Putin. So yes, he is the "good" guy. What was he supposed to do about Russian collaborators and supporters? They are the enemy as much as the actual Russians are.
What would be the situation if Russia invaded the US and there were people here who sided with the Russians? They would be considered traitors and executed. And you would be leading the charge to hang them.
It seems that Zelinsky is going full dictator and seeking to punish people for "speech crimes", which is something I will never support. And this is in addition to him putting his jackboot on the throat of the rest of his country to stamp out any voices of dissent.
The Ukrainian state has been criticised for being too quick to level accusations of treason in the past, however, with neighbouring Hungary — a European Union and NATO member-state — accusing Kyiv of employing “the darkest methods reminiscent of the Soviet era” when it launched criminal proceedings against local councillors in the border region of Transcarpathia, which is home to a large Hungarian ethnic minority, after they sang the Hungarian national anthem at a festival.
[...]
With martial law in place, authorities have banned 11 allegedly pro-Russian political parties, including the country’s largest opposition party, the Opposition Platform For Life, which was founded by Viktor Medvedchuk, a jailed oligarch accused of having close ties to Putin, and had 25 seats in the 450-member Ukrainian parliament, known as the Verkhovna Rada (Supreme Council).

It's rather hard to cheer for a guy seems to be just as much of a fascist as the guy who instigated the invasion.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: There are no good guys in this war. It's unfortunate for the Ukrainian people that they appear to be trapped between two dictators.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Perhaps the pro-interventionists will finally get what they wanted -- a world war...
Gen. Milley Warns Congress: Chances Of War Among Great Powers "Increasing, Not Decreasing"
With NATO-Russia tensions boiling, the enduring fog of war on the ground in Ukraine, and constantly ratcheting rhetoric which has even of late dangerously included nuclear threats - this seems almost like an invitation for yet more escalation... not to mention the competing information war which has seen all sides consistently allege false flags in the works... Foreign Policy's Pentagon correspondent reports the following on Tuesday:Russian use of chemical or biological weapons against Ukraine would likely trigger a "reaction from the international community": U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Russia could also escalate the Ukraine conflict with a cyber attack, Austin said.
The warning came as Pentagon leaders briefed lawmakers at a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing on the Defense Budget.
Austin had issued a similar warning of a "significant reaction" from the West if Russia were to use chemical weapons or WMD in Ukraine a month ago during an appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation".
In the early part of April, there had actually been attempts of Ukrainian Azov militants to claim they were victims of a Russian chemical gas attack - but this was met by general skepticism among many war analysts and media pundits - despite UK government attempts to give it credibility.
Austin this week repeating the chemical attack possibility, despite there being no evidence of Russia's intent, keeps the door wide open for Ukrainian fighters who are no doubt desperate for direct Western intervention in the war to float the claims again.
US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley also gave his assessment of how Russia's war is going in the Congressional testimony. He said we are now witnessing "the greatest threat to peace and security of Europe and perhaps the world” in decades.
"The Russian invasion of Ukraine is threatening to undermine not only European peace and stability, but global peace and stability that my parents and generations of Americans fought so hard to defend," Milley said.
On the question of whether a broader war could break out, he said:"The potential for significant international conflict between great powers is increasing, not decreasing."

Support for Putin (refusal to stand up for Ukraine) is growing rapidly in Republican ranks. Very Trumpy and totally at odds with Europeans.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

According to Ukrainian General Kyrylo Budanov, the country's military intelligence chief, a coup is underway in Russia to remove Putin from power. He didn't elaborate, other than to say it is "unstoppable."
Boy, if true, that would be great news.
