Russia Ukraine war, page-73275

A few fascist sympathiseson the forum, have to oppose their views. It gladdens my heartthey are relatively free to express their opinions, very few facts or lack ofhuman empathy aside. Free speech is important, in forums and media. Russia used have at least some of these principles recently, Putinkilled. Very interested to see how fascism spreads and isexpressed, I have been lucky not see too much in my lifetime.

Saddens my hearttheir hate-filled ideals exist, supporting a ruthless dictatorship makesno sense to myself, especially an aggressive fascist version causing deathof innocents for a land steal. Those supporting aredoing from the comfort of their couch in the relative bliss of a Westerncountry. Russia needs to leave the Ukraine, the UN vote is clear, the atrocitiesand war crimes are clear.

It reallydoesn't get simpler... a dictator fascist aggressor is bad news for the Ukraineand Russia rippling out to the world. USA/West/NATO/UN aren’t perfect,but democracy is the lynch pin for improvement, a regular legal feedback fromthe people. Fascism is literally a “DEAD- END”, one maniacs idea.

Support to Ukraine only limited by Russian threat of nukes and theVETO it holds in the UN council. Countries supporting Russia...Iran, North Korea, a little help from Belarus and Cuba. What agroup. A group of thugs.

I would not discount the "theory", only a theory, Iranis being goad into a war in the middle east by Russia, so that oil fromSaudi is at risk, I strike at oil dependences around the world.
