    Well that's quite the wall of text.

    Talk about lacking nuance. You can criticize NATO for plenty, but calling it fascist while ignoring the rise of literal Russian style fascism is telling. You seem to simply use fascism as a synonym for bad without even understanding what it is. Therefore everything you don't like (i.e. anything western) is automatically labeled fascist, and anything that is actual literal fascism but anti-west is somehow not fascism.

    The war isn't NATO vs Russia, it's Ukraine vs Russia. Just because NATO can gain from a weakened Russia doesn't mean they are responsible for the war or are responsible for dragging it on. Nobody wanted this war, this is purely Russia's doing. Just because Ukraine has some marginal neo-nazi groups doesn't mean the country is run by Nazis.

    The great irony is you're so caught up in this baseless rhetoric believing that you're fighting fascists that you end up supporting a textbook fascist government engaging in the very same imperial conquest that you accuse the west of.

      "YOU SAY NATO IS AN IMPERIALIST GENOCIDAL ORGANIZATION B-B-BUT W-WHAT ABOUT RUSSIA??? WHAT ABOUT MUH HECKING RUSSIA???"

      I can call it a fascist organization because it is one. For the 100th time, I know Russia is a neoliberal state with a Nazi problem too, however I am not going to fall for state department propaganda and place the majority of the responsibility for this mess solely on Russia to minimize the gross involvement of the imperialist white supremacist settler-colonial extractive project that is NATO. It was a bad move of them to escalate tensions, but it was even worse for NATO to come in and destabilize the fucking region in the first place in 2014 with euromaidan and actively oppose peaceful negotiations as the war drags on and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people like you or I suffer and die in a hell on earth. Can you understand this?

      Nobody wanted this war, this is purely Russia's doing. Just because Ukraine has some marginal neo-nazi groups doesn't mean the country is run by Nazis.

      Are you fucking kidding me? What are you even talking about? You didn't read a single word of the post you are replying to and are just parroting off whatever talking points Murdoch gave you to manufacture consent for NATOs proxy war.

      Are you actually saying that the West, after first and foremost destroying the region, causing human suffering on an untold scale, in the 90s with neoliberal economic warfare and cynically maneuvering back in to promise a bandaid for the bullet wound they inflicted on Ukraine to encircle an enemy nation, is a force for good in this situation???

      You seem to simply use fascism as a synonym for bad without even understanding what it is.

      Projection for 200, Chuck. Are you implying that the American empire, currently emmiserating and genociding the 3rd world based on a white supremacist agenda, the very fucking inspiration for Hitlers lebensraum... isnt fascist???

      The "West" is a white supremacist construct too based on an alliance of colonial powers btw.

      The great irony is you're so caught up in this baseless rhetoric believing that you're fighting fascists that you end up supporting a textbook fascist government

      Projection for 300, Chuck! You think Russia is doing imperialist lebensraum like Germany or America before it so you project the entire bloody ideological superstructure and endgoal of the west onto it (which at least you recognize as evil) and thus somehow mental gymnasticize yourself into supporting the a war pushed by the actual set of powers who performed such imperialist ventures.

      All in all you're conflating peace negotiations with surrender because it will "reward Russias bad behavior" (paternalistic ahistorical fascist nonsense) and therefore unironically doing a "War is peace." Because you are a demonic warmonger who wants nothing but rivers of Slavic blood and money for Ratheon.
