What makes me think that is that Russia has tried multiple times to solve the conflict in Donbas diplomatically, and that they didn't want to annex it in the Minsk agreements. Can you libs do anything but make inappropriate WW2 comparisons?
You do realize that the Ukrainian president does photo ops hugging Neo-Nazis, and that these guys are free to operate and have state backing? Ukraine even gave Russian Neo-Nazis a bunch of Bradleys and told them to attack into Russia proper. Ukrainians right now are living under a fascist regime, one that openly celebrated Nazi collaborating mass murderers.
I can already hear you say "those are not a majority". Well why does that matter if it's official state policy to promote, fund and arm those fuckers?
So Ukraine is using a Neo-Nazi group to help them defend their independence while Russia has an actual Nazi army that's murdering civilians and a leader that is an actual Nazi that murders and jails his opponents. Yeah, I think I will still support Ukraine, thanks.
If Putin is such a Nazi, where's the ethnonationalism? You do know that Nazis believe in racial supremacy?
The regime in Kiev also jails and murders their opponents, and how is that relevant to whether Putin is a Nazi? The Nazis weren't the only ones who did that.
You're removing all meaning from the word Nazi if you call Putin one. He doesn't believe the same shit as the Nazis, and he hasn't done any crimes as heinous as the Nazis'.
Starting a war in Ukraine is a crime as heinous as the ones Nazis did. And Putin a dictator a heinous as they get. I would also rather go to war they condemn my country to being part of the shitty Russian empire that can't offer it's citizens anything besides corruption, poverty, suffering and total disregard of their rights.
Well, I tried. You'd rather downplay Nazi mass murder then back down, do you? Get fucked.
I'm absolutely not downplaying the war in Ukraine.
No you're not. You are comparing this conflict with one of the worst campaigns of genocide in human history. You're up-playing it.
Well, I'm just saying what it really is: a underdeveloped, brutal dictatorship attacking democratic country in order to murder innocent civilians and commit countless war crimes while threatening the entire world with hunger and nuclear genocide. But I guess for you it's not so bad and we should just look the other way.
You think they do this "in order to murder innocent civilians"? Like this is the end goal? They just love murdering so much. And you base your political opinions on this genius analysis?
What? You think they cry at night after all the murdering they do every day? They really hate it but just have to kill those damned civilians because otherwise Ukraine will join NATO? How many train stations and supermarkets do they have to bomb to stop Ukraine from joining it? Of course they started the war in order to kill people. Is this really a surprise for you?
