Some people dug too deep into the reality tunnel, any common sense has been left far behind.

Obvious reality check: Ukraine has some nazies. Also

a) they're not their top problem. That being, you know, invasion and occupation by an authoritarian dictatorship.

b) point me at the country that hasn't. What, you want China to invade Germany because AfD has 30% in some provinces? Let people sort their shit before you call for a foreign boot ffs.

(Not even touching the fact that the only reason Russia isnt seig heil'ing right this second, is that little Pu is afraid of any popular movements, including fascism. But it'll get there, give it a couple years and/or heart strokes)

Dude. We (the US) couped Ukraine in 2014. They've been killing tens of thousands of their own Russian-speaking civilians in the two independent republics. We have created THEIR CIA (SBU) and they perform acts of terrorism on Russia, at least try to, on at LEAST a monthly basis. Denazification means elimination of Banderaist factions in the gov who can essentially tell their president what to do backed by threats of violence.

The fascist regeme you're imagining simply doesnt exist. There wasnt some "Donetsk ethnic cleansing", this were separatists (armed with Russian weapons and backed up with russian volunteers) trying to kick off federal troops and secede. Which, you know, isn't great. You could possibly go "both sides are bad" the 2014-2021 conflict and have some good points.

In what universe does the 2022 russian invasion translate to anything else as obvious f-ing conquest and how much of a bootlicker do you have to be to support it??
