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

Do you realize how sociopathic this sounds? Are all separatists deserving of being bombed by the country they live under? Would you say the same to the people of Yemen, or Palestine or Ethiopia? “You’re being bombed, so just leave”?

Would you say the same to the people of Yemen, or Palestine or Ethiopia?

Depressingly for many libs the answer is yes because guy with blue tie was president and responsible for bombing them. Guy in red tie too but that's less relevant. Kosovo and Syria are better examples.

If they are trying to join Russia, yes. No need to pull their neighbours into that

But it's okay for neighbors to pull their neighbors into IMF debt servitude, to say nothing of couping the government because it wasn't pro-west enough. Really letting the euro chauvinism fly there.
