So many reasons this is funny

-You apparently believe in evil, like a child

-You don't know what fascism is

-Theres no way you can define the word dictatorship

-You seem to think that someone on the internet who doesn't believe that Enemy Country is literally Mordor is part of "the problem" (what problem? The problem of other countries existing in a way that displeases you?)

Overall I give it a 2/10, deeply stupid and infantile, try throwing in a Star Wars reference next.

Bro they have literally had the same man in power for the last 25 years. The elections are far too one sided to be legitimate. They enforce heavy military propoganda. They have wealthy oligarchs while they working class is barely scraping by. And they have been trying to forcefully take land from other countries for years at the expense of citizens of both sides. Please explain how everything I said isn't true, or would you rather just hurl empty insults again instead and make yourself look even more ridiculous

You realize these things are true in Ukraine, in some cases more than even in Russia? And Ukraine was doing ethnic cleansing in the civil war for 8 years before Russia invaded, too, so if you want to apply this childish "I support the enemies of countries that do evil things" view instead of materialism, you could just as easily land on the conclusion that supporting Russia against fascist (vibes based definition) Ukraine is correct.

If you did a materialist analysis and try to figure out what the forces at play are, which classes stand to gain from different outcomes, and why the ruling class interest of Western imperialist states are aligned the way they are, you'd probably arrive at a much better conclusion though.

I have tried to do my research and inform myself about the current situation. I am aware Ukraine has its issues, but I have not come across anything that justifies the current conflict. If you have evidence otherwise, i earnestly beg you to share it, and I will consider it as unbiasedly as I can

Here's a report from CNN showing what the Ukrainian government was doing to ethnic minorities in the east during the civil war, 6 years before Russia invaded.
