I think all regions deserve self-autonomy determined by democratic referendums, unlike the tankies that think the Republic of China should be re-annexed...

So you oppose Ukrainian rule over Crimea and the Donbas?

It doesn't seem like you do given you referred to the current war as an invasion by Russia and Ukraine has been shelling it's neighbors the LPR and DPR for nearly a decade.

Can you clarify why Russia shouldn't be involved in the war between Ukraine and its smaller neighbors?

So you oppose the Ukranian puppet government's use of fascist militias to commit ethnic cleansing there?

Um, I support peace and democracy.

That's good, so do I. But there are other people, people wearing totenkopfs and firing mortars into town squares full of people they call cockroaches for the language they speak, who feel quite differently than us. What is your solution to this, so that peace and democracy can prevail?

Idk, not my place to say. Your solution to oppression of a minority group in one province is full scale war and mass murders of tens of thousands of civilians? Holy shit you guys are warmongerers, America should be paying you! Guarantee you wouldn't feel the same if America was Russia and Ukraine/Donbas were countries in the Global South in this case tho.
