Ukraine has had a far right problem but lots of countries do. Doesn't mean it's more than the fringe as it is in other countries and it's CERTAINLY not a credible talking point or justification for war to invade a sovereign democracy. And the stupid part is that this shit still goes onto today, even to this comment where you attempt to justify it.

The collective west does have a Nazi problem, it's acute in Ukraine.

Ukraine has been getting shelled for over 8 years now, it's been the Ukrainian government doing it, and that specifically has been what provoked the invasion.

It's just observable reality, idk what's so hard about remembering events from a few years ago for liberals

You mean they've been fighting Russian backed separatists that were trying to join their regions with Russia

If they want to live under a totalitarian regime they were always free to move to Russia themselves

Ah yes the ever popular "they should have self deported instead of getting ethnically cleansed"

How come you guys were okay with kosovo 'voting' to leave Serbia, but suddenly this is a bridge too far?

The trick is they know zero specifics of either situation
