        Putin is legitimately not good, makes Assad look great by comparison.

        But there's weird Putin praise in a ton of leftist circles because he takes anti imperialist stances out of necessity.

          There’s also shit like “wel the Russian nazi forces aren’t as important because they are bad at fighting” which is one weird fucking cope . As is ignoring all the weird ass shit Putin said about Ukrainians not being real.

          Both sides have nazis, Russia seems to have them more actively being used (the far right alliance has what 5% support this week during polling in Ukraine?)

          Both have nazis

          Both are fucking gross

          War is gross

          I really was hoping it wouldn’t come to this

          FUCK

            I mean the Russian PMC Nazis are terrible at fighting, but they also committed regular warcrimes in Mozambique. They're definitely are important in a bad way. It's the Nazis in the actual Russian military that are the most concerning. But yeah, WW3 is just going to be some massive Nazi infighting I guess. Horrifying

              You are correct. And it tracks The SS, the most Nazi of all Nazis, were also shit at fighting.

              I was specifically brining them up because whenever people rightfully brought them up during the whole “Ukraine is nazi” circle jerk the common rebuttal was “well they suck so doesn’t count” which was WEEIIIRD.

              But like you said the war crimes and the actual nazis are the big issue. I’m not going tod efend Ukraine being lax with far right groups but they DO only have like 5% of support and less in the government. It’s not like it was the Nazi shit on the verge of couping the govenrment people made it out to be.

              I’m not going to try to defend Ukraine or Russia. Both sucks. War sucks. But the weird circle jerk was real and strange.

              No one is gonna win this shit.

      I can’t make sense of it, cause it says we are protecting donbass, but the goal is denazification of ukraine, which might imply whole ukraine? :meow-tableflip:

      Got to nuclear part, it just says we have them don’t attack us
