Imagine you live around a bunch of people you don’t agree with, but you live next to them in peace for many years. A foreign threat comes attacking, do you team up with the people you don’t align with ideologically so that you both survive and don’t have an outside threat tyrannizing you?

Would you team up with your Islamist extremist neighbor? Would you team up with the minority kkk or neo-nazis in your area, even if just until the foreign invaders (who you consider worse than the groups mentioned) are defeated, and then you go back to normal?

Nobody is saying you’re a neo-nazi, nor an Islamist extremist terrorist, but would you team up with others that you disagree with to defeat an even bigger outside threat?

Think about this as you hear russia today style propaganda about how ukraine is nazi. The reality is that, like every other country, the crazies exist, but I will team up with almost anybody around me who has historically left me alone to defeat an outside force that won’t leave me alone, just because to not do so will lead to an even worse result.

This is what has happened in ukraine. Most competing ideologies in ukraine have united temporarily to defeat the outside Russian horde empire that has attempted imperialism on them for hundreds of years. I bet I can find a picture of a U.S. soldier with a swastika, but that doesn’t mean all us soldiers are nazis. To say that all Ukrainians are nazis is ahistorical and lacks historical nuance and reasoning. I mean, the Ukrainian governing body is literally a majority of Jews.
