I agree with your political conclusions that being anti-west is necessary in all scenarios but not your characterization that comrades enjoy the carnage.
Socialism is the enemy of the United States, which is the imperial center of gravity. The Russian federation and Ukraine are both products of the destruction of the USSR by the United States. To the extent that the Russian federation is an "enemy" of the united states, it is only because it stands in the way of Unipolar US hegemony, but not in the way of Capitalism itself. I sincerely hope the bourgeois Russian government is ousted and Communists take power in Russia again. And I hope the same for the US. You're right, inaction is complicity. I'll try to demonstrate more against my country's actions, even if it gets me and my family tortured and killed.
There are multiple people in this thread who have literally said “let them fight”. That comes off as calloused glee to me, and a complete failure of critical support and revolutionary defeatism
It would be more coherent to address your objections to those people specifically than assume everyone who is commenting believes that.

“Let them fight”
Look, I'm not going to engage with you. It's not fair to attack other people because I won't give you the reaction you want.
The user above asked for specific examples of chauvinism, I was pointing right at you. You can go away if you want
You could easily have done that without the @.
They are wrong to say that.
