Never mind the Ukraine,
both the UK and the US are anti-democratic states
As the people of the Ukraine were discovering last week, the right to vote does not guarantee you the president of your choice.

They have no iron. Their spears are made of sugar cane. They would make fine servants. With 50 men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want.
