This whole fucking tragedy would have been avoided if Ukrainian leadership had the common sense to stay neutral and if they didn't play along with NATO's attempt to use Ukraine as a bargaining chip against Russia.
Zelensky is a corrupt little bastard who is constantly using emotional appeals to try to rope the U.S into another world war.
A no fly zone means American planes downing Russian planes.
It is a declaration of war between nuclear powers.
Russian speakers (meaning preferring Russian, because everyone speaks Russian) are majority in Ukraine. It was Lenin-defender minority (and the "vacationers" from Russia).
Of course it's the most right wing thing to sympathise with people who took up arms to defend Lenin statues while flying Soviet flags.

This. Not joining NATO isn't enough when the Ukrainian revolutionary government has been fighting a war against its Russian minority for eight years.

According to the 2001 census there were about twice as many Ukrainian-speaking Ukrainians as Russian-speaking Ukrainians, and 4.5 times as many ethnic Ukrainians as ethnic Russians.
