It's their free choice. Every country can chose to do so and that's no legitimation for other countries to deny their future governments and invade it in the end.
What nonsense is this? That statement is plainly wrong on its own merits. That's completely false, the exact opposite of reality. "Free choice" is the basis of democracy, the self-determination of a sovereign people. When a democracy is overthrown and replaced by a repressive autocracy beholden to a foreign puppet master, that's the opposite of free choice. The people of Ukraine
had a free choice whether to support a side that leaned towards Russia, or towards the US/EU. They chose Russia. They elected the governor of the ethnic Russian oblast to head the government and he rejected the EU's overtures, and the US backed a color revolution to overthrow that democracy and replace it with CIA plants.
And that's absolutely the basis to delegitimize their government. America has as a matter of course denied the legitimacy of countries that overthrow democracies to put a repressive and regressive regime in power. We go around and say we refuse to recognize their new governments even when they clearly hold full control of the country. Yet Zelensky here had actual nazi death squads running around murdering journalists on his behalf and only held half the country and we support their claim not just to land they hold but even to areas that
voted democratically to secede. We've invaded countries for less.

Ukrainian conflicts are not the business of russia.
repeat: Ukrainian conflicts are not the business of russia.
repeat: Ukrainian conflicts are not the business of russia.
Why the fuck should I care?
I have no reason to care about Russia acting in their own back yard. America should be winning the peace against China, not losing the war against Russia.
Last I checked American national interests are not Ukrainian national interests, full stop

They better invade austria next, i've seen more nazi symbols here than anywhere else. What does it say about 99% of the country that doesn't carry those symbols though? ah nothing, great.
ironically enough, half of wagnerites leaders carry such symbols.
There's no armed battalion of nazis in austria, no formal role in government carved out for nazis in austria, no nazis elected to public office in austria, no nazi death squads running around murdering journalists and dissidents
There's no nazi war criminals being traded in prisoner swaps only to turn around and commit yet another war crime of perfidy to send them back to combat even after swearing not to.
Western journalists don't have to routinely ask austrian soldiers to cover up their nazi tattoos to sanitize their image for western audiences
I don't see twitter and telegram and reddit flooded with combat footage of austrian nazis desecrating corpses, murdering medics or POWs

bitterness and offtopic
I repeat myself to drive the point home: I believe Nazis when they tell me who they are
We had years of democrats trying to label everyone a cryptonazi for the most absurd reasons, now you want to pretend the guys tattooing swastikas and SS symbols and black suns to themselves are really just misunderstood victims not sharing any nazi ideas at all
Again, I have no reason to care about the Ukrainian people. I have no reason to care about arabs being bombed in US misadventures in the mideast, but I have even less sympathy for nazis than isis, and the iraq/afghan/syria/yemen/etc wars never actually threatened US hegemony like how Biden is undermining the petrodollar reserve currency and driving the unaligned world into China's grasp right now.
