I think the war should end immediately tbqh. Putin should pack it up and head back to the pre-2014 borders. If he refuses to do that, well, Ukraine and the West should defend themselves to the fullest and push him back.

Oh, you're Russian? You're right, it's a shame your authoritarian leader is waging an imperialist war of genocide against a former vassal at the expense of his own people.

"lol, you lib cuck, it's so juvenile to frame this conflict as 'democracy' versus 'authoritarianism'. Why, Russia's democracy is healthier than that of the United States—just look at the percentage of Russians who voted for the president! Ukraine is no angel, just look what she was wearing."

A lot of self-described leftists in recent years have come to a realization that they don't actually mind nationalistic hyper-capitalist ethnostates doing imperialism per se, they just have strong opinions on which ones should be doing it. This makes a lot of friction with the part of the left that sees "anti-imperialism" as more than a coded team allegiance. It's not the first time it's happened, but it caught me off guard. In retrospect, I should have gotten more of the vibes when I heard that socialist rebels in Syria must have gassed themselves.

Being a leftist against war is entirely principled, guys. Chill.

The problem is this has been repeatedly framed by Putin and the Russia commentariat as a war to destroy Ukranian nation, culture and language since they're nothing but deluded Russians. That and the endless parade of war-criming and actual acts of genocide (like kidnapping children from occupied Ukraine and sending them back to Russia to 'russianize' them), mass murder and torture of civilians...

... has made most of the leftists here on SA accept that helping Ukraine defend itself against Putin's war of genocidal aggression is a moral imperative. The others who have decided this is all the fault of the USA basically post in C-SPAM where they await the forthcoming Russian victory over the Ukranian nazis.

It's a lot to absorb, and there's tons of additional facts to fit into the overall framework, but that's basically it. People outside CSPAM think the rest of the world should support Ukraine. There's Ukraine threads at least in GBS, D&D and GiP as well as CSPAM. You should find out where you feel at home!

Being against wars of aggression to topple democracies or take other people's poo poo is principled.

Being against defensive wars where you're just trying to repel genocidal assholes is the opposite of principled, or you could say it's principled but the principles are super evil

Being opposed to self defense is not in fact a "principled stand"

And...and then, i admit, it got weird and I did get a bit brain-poisoned, and I did consent GBS to blood-lust me like one of their French whores....

But, holy poo poo ALL Ukranians?!?!?1
