I am not questioning that Russia is bad. I am questioning why a conservative would fight for the side that is treasonous to join and might literally kill you when the other side is also willing to train even the most far-right radicals.
E: What's with the downvotes? Am I supposed to pretend that Ukraine doesn't have a problem with the far right?
You're being disingenuous because you're trying to paint the entirety of Ukraine as nazis, but I'll answer in good faith anyway: Because they swallowed the propaganda from tucker carlson and his ilk. Not to mention Russia itself is incredibly regressive. They basically made it illegal to be gay just last year. US conservatives love that shit.
I said that nazis have gone to Ukraine for military training in a post that implied Russia was even more fascist.
This doesn't imply that all of Ukraine's military are nazis, only that nazis have gone to Ukraine for military training.
Ya'll need better reading comprehension.
It's fucking wild if this guy considered Ukraine so woke that he had to go to Russia.
