Trust me, nobody here is itching for a fight with russia. Most of us just want to live our lives without worrying about a bully neighbour driving tanks (or riding donkeys, heh) over borders.
Ukraine isn’t fighting because we asked them to or because we want them to. They’re fighting because they woke up to an invasion.
And we will continue to support them because if you let a country grab land by force (let alone reward them for it, witkoff you idiot), it won't stop there. It makes the whole region less safe. So no, it’s not about wanting a war. It’s about trying to prevent a bigger one.
lol, right the Ukrainian nazi coup regime just suddenly woke up one day and that mean ol Putler was invadin! Ukraine hadn't been running an ethnic cleansing campaign in the east, bombing and murdering civilians who identified as Russian speakers for years. Nothing like that. The "invasion" just happened out of nowhere!
How did this absurd cringe comment even get 11 upvotes? Must be a lot of dipshit libs who think history started in February of 2022 still lurking around here.

The far-right political fringe in Ukraine is tiny. Far-right parties are usually under 3 % of the popular vote nationally.
In 2019 the coalition of far-right parties (e.g. Svoboda, Right Sector, etc.) got just over 2% and didn't clear the threshold for parliamentary representation.. Svboda (the most well known) has a single seat right now iirc.
Sure, extremist militias such as Azov Battalion (or its successors) have included far-right activists and symbols.
However, "some far-right fighters exist" is not the same as "Ukraine is run by Nazis".
The overwhelming majority of Ukrainians before and since 2022 reject far-right ideology.
What there was: A single spike in 2012, typically interpreted as protest votes against Yanukovych and his policies - with votes for the parties collapsing again once he was gone.
Are you genuinely that ignorant of reality, or is it a willful ignorance thing?
??? Nothing you said invalidates what I said.
