They are fighting Russia coz Russia are orders of magnitude worse on practically any metric you'd care to mention - democracy, human rights, freedom of press, hell even nazis.Maybe because your take on things is too simplistic.
I really have no side in this war. I think it is a lose lose war.
There are bad elements in Ukraine and when someone says they are fighting Russia cos democracy is at stake should be laughed out of the room. But I also don't like Putin and his expansionist zeal for Russia.
I actually despise both sides
People who equate the 2 nations and shrug their shoulders at Russia taking over Europe's breadbasket are the ones who should be laughed out of the room.
