          This is funny because you can apply the same logic here with Luhansk and Donetsk but you don’t.

          You could only apply the same logic if you completely ignore reality and history. Here’s what Jacobin, a western publication has to say about the events of 2014, so maybe stop trying to rewrite history here https://jacobinmag.com/2022/02/maidan-protests-neo-nazis-russia-nato-crimea

          Svoboda and Right Sector? Or are you talking about the current government of Ukraine?

          Current government in Ukraine is full of extremists an has even integrated Azov battalion, who are unapologetic nazis, into their regular military.

          Sure, ironically if you typically invade a country like what Russia did, you are going to spur some serious nationalism and embolden those elements.

          [citation needed]

          I’m not going to disagree that the US had trained people who are part of the parties previously mentioned and I am not exactly supportive of this as well.

          Stop trying to rewrite history. Russia has never been the main aggressor here, and anybody claiming this is either an utter ignoramus or a liar.

              So I guess, have you read the article?

              Have you?

              And you have Russian crusaders that are wanting to return Ukraine back to Russia. Ironically, you could just say that Russia is now a hotbed of white supremacists.

              Ukraine is run by literal Fascists, but yeah ok.

          it’s kinda obvious that Russia is the main aggressor here.

          Russia has been the main aggressor now since the past 7 years according to Western fake news outlets. 6 below + current gaslighting attempt.

        US overthrew a democratically elected government in Ukraine

        I mean I don’t doubt that the US does that since it clearly has in the past, I just didn’t catch that they did it in Ukraine. When did this happen?
