I mean idk if all those people are Nazis though, lots of conscripts in this war.

Same was in wehrmacht, but still not sad for them.

I mean, I feel sorry for people who get propagandised and convinced to die for a fruitless cause but maybe that’s just me.

I get what you mean, so i am rooting for the fascist regime to lose as fast as possible. Also being conscripted does not free from the responsibility for participation in war crimes, as established in Nuremburg "i was following orders" is not sufficient line of defense.

Idk to me this is a stereo typical bourgeois war. I don’t think there is a good side really.

Perhaps. Killing them is still justified. The forced conscription is done by the regime the west installed after the coup.

I don’t think the Ukraine under Russia would be any better than Ukraine under the USA, I think people just enjoy looting the country. I don’t see a difference between two competing bourgeoise parties scrambling to control a very corrupt country.

It's not about Ukraine , that's just the playing field. The west did a coup to use Ukraine to move position east, there would not have been a war at all if that was not the case. People smarter than me have been warning about the coming war in Ukraine since the 90s

I’m aware, but either way this war doesn’t seem to revolutionary in anyway, it’s just two opposing capitalist countries fighting. I’m not really rooting for either side. I don’t know if either side has the Ukrainians people’s best interest at heart. The Russian bourgeoise was just robbing Ukraine and now the American bourgeoise are just using them as cannon fodder. Fuck all those people.
