It's astonishing how in sync y'all and the commie boards are with this issue. Communists give the same arguments for Russia's right to Ukraine as they do for China's right to Nepal, and Taiwan, and Hong Kong's soul as well as its land and whatever else China wants. But thought here generally seems to be for landmasses being independent of China.
I raise this not as any point, but as a matter of interest. What is it about Russia? Is it just a weird combination of admiration for an iron-handed Christian capitalist leader on one side and nostalgia for Communism's glory days on the other? Or is there something else?
This is precisely what the Tankies have said about this exact issue, but with "deep state" traded out for "The West".
Idk what both y'all groups have against what to me seems the eminently reasonable position of "invasions are bad AND proxy wars are bad". Why does there always have to be someone who's in the right? That so rarely is the case for governments, that it seems insane to expect that.
It's astonishing that so many people believe Ukraine is a real country.

Politics!
Easy test if you should root for Russia or Ukraine: who does the deep state support. Who does the deep state hate. End of test.
