is to give them seats in European Parliament.
No, best way for Russia to become more democratic is to get rid of the autocrat they call a president.

Isn't that sort of like asking the wolves to join the foxes in guarding the hens ?

Noting also that 'democracy' , 'forced' on some countries by the usa, etc,
has
in our lifetimes
destroyed those countries or at least made life much more difficult in those countries ?
i.e. it has harmed instead of helped...

Unfortunately, mere votes don't end wars ...

... It'd be nice if they could, though. ;)

Perhaps. However Russia needs to do some things before it is considered, like getting rid of their president for life and withdraw from Ukraine. If they can demonstrate they want to join then consideration should be given. Oh, and try to stop all the cyberterrorism happening within their borders.

Regardless of if politicians ever were actually chosen by votes or not,
the so-called voted in politicians have
brought the usa (and all the other countries with voting?)
to all the wars .... and made million tons of money doing so ?

Lots of money we don't have being funneled into Ukraine.

The US would have been better off if biden had just given Ukraine the billions of dollars of guns and equipment he left the terrorist's in Afghanistan.

I’m sure the afghan army would of been more effective when disarmed.

Not to mention that the types of weapons useful for fighting an insurgency and fighting a conventional war are quite different.

The longer the war continues,
the greater the chance of a US Army Draft.

??

Please explain how a war no US soldiers are involved in increases the likelihood of the US reintroducing something it abandoned in the 1980s?

Particularly in light of the US experience in Iraq and Afghanistan.

If you need to draft people to stop Putin then the Ukraine will be a distant memory.

'But how did the war start, daddy?'
'Well, son...many years ago there was this place a long ways away called Ukraine...'

We managed to fight a war where we were direct combatants for 20 years without resorting to a draft. I'm not sure why we would need a draft for a war we are providing only material and advising support in.

The people of Russia don't want this war, this is Putin's war.
Very debatable. I think that most russians only don't like that they are losing this war, but if they were winning, they'd be dancing in the streets.

You don't dance in the street until a war is over. Anything prior to that is psychopathic.

Specifically, you dance in the street once you have won the war, which most russians would like very much.

And so would I. It doesn't require victory... only the cessation of hostilities.

I think for some people it requires victory, plenty of spoils of war and of course a firm boot on the enemies throat for the foreseeable future.
