Ah, I thought so. Honestly don’t really have the time and energy to go back and forth with these massive walls of text, so I’ll just say that you’ve fallen hook line and sinker for Russian propaganda.

Ah yes it's my fault that you have no response. Just throw in a thought-terminating cliché.

Ukrainian Nazis exist, just like there are Nazis in literally every country on the planet. They weren’t in control of anything, nor were they in any way in control of the government.

See how you are just going on and on about things I didn't say rather than responding to what I did say?

Though Ukrainian neo-Nazis absolutely were in control of exactly what I referenced: running front-line militias that shelled Donbas. This was widely reported until 2022 when Western media needed to push that to the side.

The “ethnic Russians” were primarily Russian army troops out of uniform.

No the ethnic Russians I am referring to are about half of the people who lived and live in Donbas. Civilian population centers were shelled.

There’s piles and piles of evidence about this.

No there aren't.

The low intensity war between Russia and Ukraine was to destabilize Ukraine to attempt to force it back into Russia’s sphere of influence against the will of the populace.

Historical revisionism that ignores Euromaidan and the grassroots response in Eastern Ukraine to the coups and anti-ethnic Russian, anti-left campaigns that followed. Do you think it was the Russians that locked union organizers in a building and set it on fire?

If that isn’t imperialist, I don’t know what is.

Yes, exactly, you don't know what imperialism is.

I don’t know why I’m writing all this out, tbh. You’ve drunk the Kool aid.

Self-soothing to help rationalize why you have no actual response to what I've said.

Anything “an enemy of the west” says is believed uncritically, no actual thinking, just regurgitation.

Oh? What specific claims by "an enemy of the west" have I believed uncritically?

Have a wonderful day regardless, and I honestly hope you’re doing well.

Uh-huh
