Because Russia == Trump in their deluded minds. Russia is evil because Trump is evil. Anyone or anything that stands in the way of Russia is therefore just as virtuous and pure as "The Resistance" that opposed Trump, lawfully or not.
Trump Derangement Syndrome, Russia Derangement Syndrome, same Mass Formation Psychosis root cause.
Yup, for some reason, in these people's minds, every single thing they hate - and this is not a short list - are all merely facets of the same problem.
Surely you'd understand why people in Eastern Europe are concerned about this, right? Russia invading another country raises all sorts of alarms in the Baltics, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Georgia and so on. So not, it's not just Russia and Ukraine's fight.
What is in the OP is organic because this is the main thing happening right now. It's at a much larger scale than in 2014 and it's the first major European conflict since the Yugoslavian war. Of course it's going to be headlines everywhere and that will reflect anywhere else. Most sites that are politically-related are now inundated with this topic.
It made me even register here, after having lurked for a long time and I was even part of the original GG-related subreddit, which had a misspelling on its title. That's the state of it. It's a major thing.
What's in the OP isn't a bunch of Poles, Estonians and Romanians, it's a bunch of american le redditors who until four days ago had no idea Ukraine even existed because they were 8 years old the last time it was in the news, and will forget about it three days after it gets old and bumped off the headlines by the latest manufactured crisis.
Interestingly enough, I've seen more "IDGAF about Ukraine" and "Putin is not our ally" posts and comments over the past few days than I remember seeing in the last year or so. But that's just my personal take, I haven't been keeping a scorecard.
My interest in the conflict is that I'm surprised now many NPCs care, and it looks like good "crack in the window jam" along with Afghanistan to showcase how Biden completely fucks up the world stage. A political slant, sure, but if it works I'm not squeamish about pushing that spot.

Doesn't matter to the NPCs. This is like SJW wokism. SiLEnce is Violence. Saying you don't give a shit is the same as saying you're not an ally so you're an enemy to them. YOU HAVE TO CARE AND AGREE WITH ME ITS AN INJUSTICE YOU PSYCHO!!1
Yeah I've seen a lot of "does this mean Putin and Trump were working together against the cabal / deep state" stuff.
No, Putin and Trump weren't working together. At all. On anything. Obama was working with Putin when he had "more flexibility after the election". Bush, Obama and Biden have each let Putin annex or invade a country.

But you are the conspiracy theorist!
NPCBrain is real
Whats the case for putin taking over Ukraine, though?
With our countries wars, it seems kinda like afghan, so its been funny to hear folks like condoleeza coming out against it.
Aka Terminal Leftism
Are they wrong, judging by the amount of Putin shills in this place in the last few days?
Trump isn't related to Russia in any way, but this Trump-affiliated place is now infested with Putin shills.
This place might as well be a branch of the Kremlin at this point.

Putin was terrified of Trump.
