Personally, I don’t support either Ukraine or Russia, I see Ukraine as harboring nazis and they should answer for their crimes in the Donbas. However, when Russia invaded Ukraine I saw it as an imperialist invasion for Putin to conquer Ukraine. After He annexed the Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, this became a very blatant imperialist invasion. Secondly, I found this post, which talks about the Russian capture of Bakhmut. I was suprised about the number of people who supported Russia. Am I wrong here for not supporting Russia? I would love to hear you opinions on this matter.
I don’t know, I’m just saying that if there was another path that could be taken where so many didn’t have to die, it should’ve. Also I never said that the Russian army was killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, I said that the combined death toll of the army’s of both sides amounted to that much.
considering that russian leadership was clearly afraid of western sanctions i doubt they would have ignored other options if they existed, Russia gains nothing by going to war they arent like the us which is controlled by the board members of arms manufacturers why would they choose the option where their people die and which is most politically costly and which puts them in direct confrontation with the west, fuck Russia tried to join nato and they wouldnt have them its self evident that either there was no other option or Russia didnt see any other option.
