Personally, I don’t support either Ukraine or Russia, I see Ukraine as harboring nazis and they should answer for their crimes in the Donbas. However, when Russia invaded Ukraine I saw it as an imperialist invasion for Putin to conquer Ukraine. After He annexed the Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, this became a very blatant imperialist invasion. Secondly, I found this post, which talks about the Russian capture of Bakhmut. I was suprised about the number of people who supported Russia. Am I wrong here for not supporting Russia? I would love to hear you opinions on this matter.

    What is the right way, in your opinion, to protect your people from neo-nazi aggression? Colorful language and witty retorts?

    And why is defending yourself from nato’s eastward expansion called “invading”? Did you not see the image above?

    And no, the Russian military is not killing “hundreds of thousands” of civilians, gonna need a source on that. If anything, their pace has been extremely slow, to prevent civilian deaths. Lord knows they could steamroll over all of Ukraine if they wanted to, but that doesn’t meet any of their objectives.

      I don’t know, I’m just saying that if there was another path that could be taken where so many didn’t have to die, it should’ve. Also I never said that the Russian army was killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, I said that the combined death toll of the army’s of both sides amounted to that much.
