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
