    Is this the correct take on Ukraine?: The USA does not give a shit about the people there, they just want to prop up the fascist government to continue having a foothold against Russia?

        The Europeans don't have anything to gain and a big fucking pipeline to lose, which is why Germany has been almost entirely hands off

        What the Europeans have to gain is "continuing to be part of the US empire", which many liberals on the continent still want to do. Plus you have countries like the UK and Poland with historical nationalist grudges against Russia who don't take much provoking (and indeed, the UK is leading the way in militarizing Ukraine right now).

        I don't get it either? Can it really be pure deluded nationalism? Well, the mayor of kiev supposedly warns that putin wants to conquer up to and including east germany

            It is utterly ridiculous to believe he would want to. But at least there is an answer to why this insanity was said: the mayor of kiev is a ukrainian-german boxer who wants to elicit military and economic support from a country that has every economic incentive to stay out of any kerfuffle. And he's trying this by appealing to some cold war era nationalism.
