Yk should we even stop them? I'm wondering if Russia meat grinding so many fascists will have positive effects for western countries.

Maybe they're not leaving in big enough numbers, not to mention the people of Donbas didn't ask for so much fertilizer

    It's an extremely double edged sword. On one hand, Russia is de-nazifying both Ukraine and a lot of highly motivated fascists from around the world. On the other hand though, those that survive the war will likely return home and become terrorists with their military experience, possibly even training others with what they've learned. We haven't really seen very much of it yet but it's only a matter of time before drones start being used in terrorism.

    Need to create some kind of Starship Troopers fake war to trick fascists into getting killed in.

    You station all of them in defensive facilities and just bomb them pretending to be the enemy, they think everyone else is fighting the frontline war but they're all stuck in the mock defensive positions.

    I personally think these folks fall into two nroad categories:

    • If they're a hardened fascist ideologue then you don't want them in Ukraine because they'll be more dangerous if they come home (and that's usually more likely if they're joining out of principle and not self-harm).

    • If they're not, they're probably an alienated doomer stuck in the reactionary pipeline that lures people into suicide-by-combat, which is not good either but less risk if they were to return. Not everyone in this bracket is necessarily a reactionary, either.

    Idk I see the appeal of "let 'em become mulch lol" but if there's any doubt in the minds of someone you see talking like this, it's better to try bringing them down for sake of keeping another person out of that needless war. Starving Ukraine of meat shields no less a worthy cause in itself!
