Alright,but why not offer critical support to Russia then? As much as I should hate them,I find myself hating the nations that caused this instead. I don't like Putin,I don't like the Russian Orthodox church,I don't like the Russian Federation as it currently is,but they would be a great improvement over literal Nazi rule by Ukraine.

If I had to pick over reactionary capitalism that is somewhat opposed to Western capitalism and literal Nazi battalion backed NATO puppet regimes,I will always pick the first option, regardless of how much I disagree with them.

Offering critical support is one thing, saying that "volunteering to the Russian army is based" is quite a bit beyond that imo

I wasn't exactly addressing that, because I don't really have a position on it

If someone wants to throw their life away in this conflict,at least it would be for the less bad side

My concern was mostly with how you said that Russia is 90% Hitler to NATO's 99%

Using this abstract measurement,I would say that that is the case only internally

On foreign policy they're not even comparable to the evil that NATO unleashes on a daily basis

Eastern Europe has a history with Russian Imperialism, and many wounds still remain open from the time of Tzarist Russia,that couldn't be mended by the Warsaw Pact, and being pro Russia will never be a popular opinion here,but personally,I can say that even if Russia would want to create a new sphere of influence around the area,it would be a more palatable alternative to NATO

I'm not a Z poster by any stretch of the word,but I can see the writing on the wall

Either we remain under the US yoke and we march to our doom,or we trade it for a Russian one and maybe maintain some level of agency. This is how it's always been in this part of the world,see sawing between empires,and with one waxing,it would be a smarter thing to start gravitating towards the closer one that isn't exactly all that powerful but represents the only conceivable opposition in the area

Volunteering to support a nation resisting imperialism, and fighting to defend a nation from literal Nazis (not neo-Nazis even, OG Nazis) being armed and used by the greater worldwide imperialist system of NATO and the collective west so as to further their hegemony is "not based?"

Literally as based as you could possibly get from Steven Segal
