      Yeah based on your posting I’m not surprised you know Maidan participants and parrot their talking points. You’re describing the affects of western influence, and a common one at that, dividing a region into camps and luring one to work for the colonial powers against the regional interests. The imperialists empower some groups against others, and in this case they empowered literal white supremacists with the promise that they would become true blue europeans if they only sacrifice their neighbors, and themselves. To argue that a slavic nation is doing the right thing by getting pulled into a feud with it’s neighbors in order to join forces with the imperialist, colonial camp is again the most cracker take you can possibly have on the region.

      The only people who wanted to be free from the the USSR were literal banderite fascists who were tired of having to hide their love of pogroms. The quality of life in Ukraine and all of the former Soviet Union plummeted and has never recovered. The best comparison of the Ukrainian leadership post 2014 in the Vietnam context is to the comprador catholic french speaking Vietnamese who hoped to exploit their own relatives to live it up with genocidal fascists and colonizers

          https://news.gallup.com/poll/653495/half-ukrainians-quick-negotiated-end-war.aspx

          The majority of Ukrainians want a swift, negotiated end to this war. The data typically disagrees with cracker sentiments but the crackers always act like their position is correct. This is the crux of crackerdom.

          The Ukrainians who you are prioritizing are not only a minority of Ukrainians but they are literally neo nazis

              The poll states clearly that the majority of Ukrainians are okay with ceding territory to Russia in exchange for ending the war.

              The polls also exclude 10-12% of the population who live in the Eastern parts of Ukraine, and that group is almost always in favor of the pro-Russian choices in any polling, which means the numbers are actually higher than the polling suggests in favor of ending the war and ceding territory

                  You’ve shifted the goalposts multiple times. either way, the majority of Ukrainians want the war to end when this polling was done, a significant amount are willing to cede territory, the next numbers in this poll are 10-12% lower than they actually are due to not polling the pro-Russian population in eastern Ukraine, and as time goes on the numbers will get higher because Ukrainians are losing the war, more territory, and entire generations of citizens along with their future. If you are pro Ukrainian you would be agreeing with Ukrainians that the war needs a negotiated peace and in order to do so they will have to give Russia concessions
