So when the liberators are no longer needed simply because they did their job well...what then?

Scary 😱

Votng etc is not my idea of an answer, though people throwing themselves at the system to bend it as a non-profit is honourable if you know already by definition governments don't want to bend to anyone, not even logic / their own family...
...unless of course it pays them a cruel amount as % tax every little small things they do, similar to people dying three time as a constant debt making machine called bank.

#War with #Russia might be similar to war everywhere on many levels (of which people want to solve after the big war).

We have little answer other than make "civilised" the crushing weight of the state.

Overally any country is not un-similar to #INSERTYourCountryHere and future #Ukraine if you look at real progress and not just GDP etc.
