"All Nazis in the west support Russia" is a bold claim. I haven't seen any of the far-right parties in Europe (Meloni, AfD, VOX, Finland, France...) oppose the rise to 5% of GDP in military expenditure, I may be wrong about a few exceptions (far right in Hungary) but most fascist parties with parliamentarian representation in the EU do support the war budgets, don't they?
Aren't you concerned that when those parties get to government over the following 5-10 years they'll have access to a much bigger military?
Meloni has indeed been a huge positive surprise. But the far right party of France at least is deeply pro-Russia: https://www.politico.eu/article/france-far-right-manifesto-russia-nato-national-rally/
Germany's AfD also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AfD_pro-Russia_movement
Hungary, obviously. At least for now -- the next elections might bring an interesting change there.
It's way more typical that far-right is pro-Russia than pro-Ukraine. This makes sense from a political viewpoint, since the politics of Putin are far-right. If he wasn't such a warmonger and thus a direct national threat, I'm sure more of them would be blatantly aligned with him.
edit Also check out this recent voting result for the modernization of the German army:
The far-right AfD overwhelmingly voted against it.
Don't forget the GOP, who has since the beginning of the conflict been doing everything they can to undermine American support
LePen's stance has changed over these past 3 years if I'm not mistaken. As for Germany, the "modernization of German army" is actually the conscription thing, right? It says "military service modernization act", not modernization of the German army. Regardless, it's not so relevant what AfD votes while in opposition if the law will be passed regardless. You have Finland's far right approving the military expenditure while in government, the Spanish VOX supporting it too, Italy, Poland, Baltics... Sure, I agree there may be doubts about Germany and France, but looking at all of Europe, it's not like the far right at large supports Russia.
