This narrative is fucking ridiculous to help justify an unjustifiable war. Putin is a fascist leading a fascist regime in a country that is the farthest thing from USSR. Invaded an independent country, started a modern trench war, because the Ukrainian army has a group that has Nazis? That's the lamest excuse. All armies in the world have groups that are Nazi/Fascist sympathizers. You need to stop parroting fascist propaganda while calling yourselves Leftists.
Evidence of this? It's hard to prove a 100%, and I doubt AES countries do.
This is true. You need people ready to kill and die because of an order. Sane people, if free to choose, dont go to war
It only takes one side to have fanatics for the other side to need to defend itself; it's not just an order that drives sane people to war.
