I disapprove of the Iranian regime but that doesn’t mean I support imperialist aggression against them. I feel the same way about Ukraine, and while there has been some discrimination against ethnic Russians in Ukraine it does not amount to ethnic cleansing, nor does it justify imperialist aggression. The separatist movements in Donetsk and Luhansk are far-right movements that have been artificially inflated by Russia in much the same way that the US is artificially inflating the right-wing Alberta separatist movement in Canada.
The Banderites in Kiev have killed thousands of people in Donetsk and Luhansk over the years, and were amassing a force to “finish off the separatists” before Russia got involved directly. The Minsk agreements were both tanked by the west and Ukraine, and could have avoided this war altogether. The movements in Donetsk and Luhansk are not far-right, they are a response to the far-right government that coup’d the president they supported:
Again, you have to believe that the people in the Donbass should quietly accept being ethnically cleansed by Banderites put in charge by the west, and that this is necessary despite the fact that Ukraine and Israel are close allies that aid each other millitarily. Call this “campist” if you want, but materially supporting Ukraine materially supports Israel and thus indirectly accelerates their genocidal settler-colonialism.
