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.

You could say the same for those who claim here that this is a fight against globohomo or whatever. Look at the guy in a poster above, sitting at +30/0, proud that he didn't know where Ukraine was until 5 days ago and talking about this being an "internal USSR regional dispute". He's proud of being ignorant AND manages to greatly demonstrate that in the line right after. Seriously guys? Why take a side then. No different than the Redditors in the OP.
Still, the user I was replying to said:
It's not anyone's fight but Russia/Ukraine's.
Which is literally false. Russian attacking another sovereign nation is a lot of people's fight.
Please look up the history of Ukraine. You can use wiki, but the recent edits are a bit if a laugh. You are technically correct in calling Ukraine a sovereign nation, but using that as a point of argument makes your ignorance blatantly obvious.

What's your argument exactly? Do you think that Russia could legally annex Ida-Viru or Latgale as well?
