So glad someone with hlaf a brain actually does some rational thinking based on facts.

For the record, the war is not about that, but facts are facts 🤷. A large pirtion of Ukraine is Nazi oriented.

Cold war related stuff is what the media clings on to: Russia bad, Ukraine good.

The real reason was that the US was planning to plant it's ass in Russia's backyard. Ukraine wanted to be a part of NATO, which is of course a choice that any country has a right to make, but not when your neighbour is an ex hevy weight boxing champ and tells you to shut the hell up... yeah, you shut the hell up.

First of all, what's up with this title? I thought Zelensky fucking died.

But the media was recently critical of Nazis in Ukraine until the current invasion. That includes BBC, Reuters, Guardian, and Telegraph just to name a few. Now they all pretend like it's fake news, Russian propaganda. Haha

And, as far as I know, Ukraine only started seeking NATO membership after the 2014 US-backed coup. (They first applied in 2008.) So, I don't know if Ukraine, like the Scandinavian countries, didn't actually have popular support to join NATO pre-2022 but it'd make sense if public opinion has now shifted.
