  There is no ignoring the fact that on the grander geopolitical stage, Ukraine is on the side of Western imperialism, has a major nazi problem & supports Israel while Russia is allied with and supporting of many anti-imperialist nations and overall fights against the biggest enemy to our species - western capitalist domination, even if that does not come from some pure, ideal socialist position.

  It’s a horrible conflict with neither side being ‘good’, ideally I would want for Ukrainans and Russians to live peacefully and in harmony with one another, like they mostly did under the USSR. Also, it is not like there was zero provocation against Russia before their invasion, I would recommend you do some looking into the events that lead up to the war.

  Yours sincerely, ‘Tankie’

    What if Ukrainians don’t want to live under the boot of Moscow though?

      Why under the ideal, imagined scenario I present does your brainwashed mind still have to have Russia as some big evil oppressive nation lmao

        I think Russia is a pretty oppressive nation.

        • Here’s an article about a Russian who publicly opposed the invasion of Ukraine, leading to him getting a sentence of 25 years in prison.
        • Here’s an article about Alexei Navalny, an opposition politician, getting a Russian intelligence officer to admit that the FSB (Russian government agency) poisoned Navalny. Why is the Russian state poisoning opposition politicians?

  Have one replying to me right now saying that, unironically. They’re beyond saving, as delusional as Trump supporters at this point. No reasoning people out of positions they didn’t reason themselves into.

  Russia loves Nazis, it’s why Nazis love Russia. If Ukraine had a Nazi problem, why so the Nazis not support it?
