There were all kinds of things us law could have done..and would have done to anyone else, to prevent this. None of it was inevitable. None of it is normal. This ukraine aid bullshit for example is illegal impoundment, as is much of what the mad king is doing right now.
Even if that last election ends up being The last election, it's still worth remembering...and, frankly, those facts will be the first ones the new regime attempts to erase.
