The point has always been to flood the country with weapons to make it harder for Russia to control. If they get misplaced it doesn't really matter.

I agree, there's plenty of antisemitism and violent religious fundamentalism throughout Palestinian society. Nobody here would dream of justfying Israeli military campaigns which use that fact as a disingenuous cover for wreaking horrible violence and further entrenching ethnic blood feuds. It's not any better when Russia does it. It's not what you would do if you were trying to protect ethnic minorities from neighboring bigots, it's what you would do if you were trying to take their land!

Virtually every Ukranian Jew is much worse off than they were before the invasion. I don't think they were "sitting together with someone openly Nazi" any more than Black Americans are "sitting together with someone openly KKK" because they share a country with David Duke and Donald Trump. If you prioritize killing Nazis over defending the people who are threatened by Nazis, you're not an antifascist, you're just The Punisher

I'm sure all those dead people who were 'saboteurs' who just happened to be Jewish are better off, in the spiritual sense sure...

The Ukrainian government was sitting together with openly nazis though. That's what I was saying. Not most of the population, but the government. That's a serious problem no matter how you slice it. Is a government openly incorporating nazis justification for invasion? I find it difficult to categorically say no, not going to lie.

Was it the actual reason Putin had for the invasion? Also no. I am not under the delusion that Putin is a principled and committed antifascist.


Please do try to keep the loving Marvel Cinematic Universe out of these discussions though. That's some terminal lib poo poo.

An invasion that makes corpses and refugees of the people it's nominally supposed to protect, and has no potential to reduce right-wing extremism in the area, is not justified.

The insane Azov Batallion poo poo might be justification for some sort of violent uprising or invasion, but not anything like what's actually unfolding.

I'm not even trying to make a point about whether we should give them guns or whatever, just that people in Ukraine obviously don't deserve getting invaded because their military, like pretty much every western military, institutionally harbors right-wing extremists

Not as familiar with their situation because I'm not Roma and don't have Ukranian Roma family. Have their safety and standard of living improved as a result of the Russian invasion?

Lol, the head of Putin's pet international war crimes squad literally has Nazis tattoos. Which means that Nazis are a hell of a lot closer to the head of the table in Russia than in Ukraine. Which means that giving Ukraine weapons is the actual anti-Nazi act. But you don't actually give a poo poo about Nazis, you're just looking for reasons to excuse Russian war crimes.

it's always fun how conversations about "Wagner Group' never mention they're an unofficial western media umbrella for basically any PMC and always manage to use the same like three guys' pictures as proof.

I mean, sure, if you need me to say it I hope those guys die screaming too, gently caress em, but it does feel a bit of a false comparison between them and Ukraine officially empowering literal nazi brigades to become major forces in the armed forces, and constantly praising literal nazis like Bandara as national heroes.

The problem with the liberal framing of Nazis as always being deserving of having violence used against them, up to and including state international intervention, is that the lack of any further background or nuance means that you HAVE to paint any and every official enemy as being The Next Hitler, and as a corollary deny that the side you're supporting has fascists in them

I didn't say poo poo about him until someone asked. I don't care about him personally, it's bad that he's still a national hero, to me that doesn't mean that, e.g., hundreds of Holocaust survivors should be made to flee Ukraine for the second time
