1/ Just found out this hashtag #IStandWithPutin exists and it seems to be getting more traction.

Disgusting. I'm at a loss for words.

From quick look the people's main arguments are that the west has done similar peace keeping operations in other countries.
2/ Yes this is true 'western' countries have performed similar peace keeping operations in various countries.

But lets try and understand this argument.

Western countries killed people so now we should let Russia kill people????

What kind of logic is this???
3/ If you are against the actions of 'western' countries and their peace keeping operation then you should also be AGAINST Putin's 'peace' keeping operation in Ukraine.

#StopRussia
#StopPutinNOW
4/ The other argument for the aforementioned disgusting hashtag is the Azov battalion. I have already mad a thread on this which will be linked in the replies but in short. In short:

Yes Azov is bad.
NO not all Ukrainians are Nazis or anywhere near.

A thread on how to help Ukraine, what this page is and who is running it.

There are 4 main ways you can help Ukraine as a foreigner which are described below:

1. Donate to Ukraine Via/ Links in the Bio. Ukraine needs ALL the help it can get. (1/8)
2. Demand more assistance from your respective governments. Attend rallies, contact MPs, write to your representatives etc.

3. Get the TRUTH to Russia. This can be done by commenting the below paragraph as a review to popular Russian businesses via Google & Yandex maps. (2/8)
За 8 дней войны россия выпустила 480 ракет и преступно убила более 2000 мирных жителей Украины.

Росия преступно обстреливает детские дома, роддома и больницы Украины. Тяжело больным детям и новорожденным малышам приходится сутками сидеть в бомбоубежищахp. (3/8)

(1/5) Regarding the BS going around on Ukraine being run by Nazis:

- Yes there exists a battalion of far right neo nazis, Azov battalion

- NO they are not a majority in Ukraine nor do they represent Ukraine as a whole, just a small percentage of Ukrainians
(2/5) They did try and get themselves voted into power. BUT they received just 3% of votes in ALL of Ukraine.

As a result they now hold 2 or 3 seat in parliament out of 450 seats! A tiny minority.

EVERY country has a problem with far right extremism.
(3/5) Russia, USA, Canada, The UK, Poland, France EVERY country has a problem with far right extremism.

In a lot of countries these extremists also to a smaller or larger extent hold some kind of governmental power.
