    That it's NATO's fault and shouldn't have started. It would not have started if NATO had taken anything fucking seriously.

    Russia is legitimately defending its security interests, it likely doesn't care that much about DPR/LPR other than the fact that ethnic Russians dying is a bad look politically. What Russia cares about is its security interests and I don't think it would have done fucking any of this if NATO had just taken them seriously and committed to not letting Ukraine in.

    Simple as that.

    Russia shouldn't be there. It's sad and fucked up. They're doing this because NATO are a threat and refused to compromise.

    Ukraine is legitimately full of nazis, a fascist state with a clear majority in government from the Banderite faction.

    Civilians dying is fucking horrible. War is shit.

    At the utilitarian level, Russia collapsing would result in the end of China in the longterm. It is imperative that does not happen.

    Not pro war, not pro russia, but recognise that the end of Russia would fuck communists bigtime. Definitely not pro Ukraine. Definitely pro-workers stuck in the middle of this shit.

    War is NATO's fault. NATO must be abolished. War wouldn't be happening otherwise.

        30 Nato bases on China's northern border would do an incredible amount for American destabilisation efforts. China would be fully encircled and other countries along belt and road would be toppled leading to its failure. Russia, like it or not, is currently China's biggest and most important partner for security and resources.

        Instead of China connecting up the world over the next few decades the result would look more like what we've seen with Russia, encirclement, isolation and slowly waiting for opportunities to harm it in its isolation while pouring enemies and compradors over the borders.

        Russia is a key source of energy and raw materials for China. It's also China's main land neighbor, so a hostile Russia right next door would not be good.

        Long answer is if you look more into "Mackinder's World Island theory". It's a about a single block dominating the Eurasian continent being able to overwhelm the naval superiority of major sea nations like the US/UK.
