Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

I don't care too much about the Russian Federation, but I oppose Ukraine because it's a corrupt dictatorship ruled by genuine neo-nazis that's been robbing the US taxpayers for years. Also I'm pretty sure it's used for a bunch of illegal shit like unsanctioned disease labs and human trafficking rings.
This bit I disagree with because 1) The US taxpayer doesn’t really fund anything, and 2) Ukraine isn’t getting hand-outs but lend-leases.
This. This. A thousand times this. The American empire doesn't do these things for free. I'm sure certain Americans are very interested in ~~exploiting Ukraine's mineral wealth~~ working in partnership with the Ukrainian people to develop their economy.
Possibly unpopular to say here, but aside from the government itself and certain elements of the state, I actually do have sympathy for the Ukrainians, insofar as they were misled into the war by the yanks and the West in general. So many dead, for nothing, for less than nothing.
I wonder how many were misled. Maybe 20% fled the country; presumably many more would have if they had the means. Some are being pulled from streets and pushed to the front lines. Some are fascists who needed no misleadership. How many does that leave, the ones who were/are duped?
