I'm inclined to believe that Russia is the aggressor in this conflict, it's larger, had a better military reputation, and has been treated as such by everyone but the US president. So I'm already predisposed to side with Ukraine because they didn't start the fight.

"History started yesterday" vibes. Nato had been amassing forces on their borders prior to the Russian invasion, and had already pushed east into former Warsaw pact territories after the dissolution of the Soviet union despite promises not to do so.

Associationing Ukraine with Nazis feels like a way to weaken the support, but anyone in Europe is going to be close enough to walk over and ask if they're actually Nazis so I can't imagine it's going to work on any of them.

I too regularly stroll into active warzones to ask questions easily answered by wikipedia in the time it takes to take a shit.

Meanwhile in the US, let me remind you that the owner of everyone's favorite social media platform did the Nazi salute for our president who is currently putting people in concentration camps with his own gestapo.

Yeah, they're bad too, what's your point?

If anything, Ukraine being secretly Nazis is just going to strengthen the support.

Not very secret but sure why not.

Can you just give me your manifesto or a copy of your orders if this is some sort of psyops?

"I'm the main character"

I'm honestly too busy not dying of poverty and American healthcare [...]

How unique of you.

Like, if you want American support you could just offer to arrest the Epstein clients or give us real healthcare.

Support to...not give shit away for free that cost money to make to another country involved in a conflict that has nothing to do with us? ๐Ÿค”

A 'promise' that has been debunked often enough. Used by the oppresor to justify his actions.

Also since Ukrain IS no part of the NATO it does even if it would be true, which it is not make even less justifications.

You make a pact and then leave something that important out of the official part? Common.
