          The resumed and emboldened massacre of eastern Ukranians by the banderite coup government, same as the decade that led up to this, except without even the tissue-thin veneer of western disapproval

              Yes, exactly. The Eastern Ukranians who got sick of being terrorized by marauding Azovites and petitioned Russia for protection will be slaughtered wholesale, man woman and child, and your only response is "well they shouldn't have thrown in with the orcs for protectionsmuglord" Perhaps the US-backed nazi government shouldn't have spent ten years murdering them with no repercussions then? Just a thought.

              Clearly, a government being aligned with Bad Country for any reason is enough for you to turn off your empathy completely. It's no wonder you're on the side of the goose-steppers and SS-applauders.

                Which statement of mine makes you arrive at such a conclusion?

                  I can't understand how you'd need a citation for all of those. It seems some parts of your position rely on them happening, maybe on interpreting them differently, but are you really calling every single point there into question? I guess here's a handful of sources slopped out about it.
