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??
