    The Ukraine War is the modern WW3 version of the Spanish Civil War.

    All the majors get to fight each other discretely, test out all their new toys in the field, and support fascism abroad without risking anything domestically.

      Not to mention the more left-wing side of voters in Ukraine are overwhelmingly Donetsk and Lugansk voters. More than 25% in these states voted for the communist party of ukraine in the last election, and guess who voted for the nationalists? Except this time it won’t be like spain, the fascists won’t win.

      Bit different though. Soviet Russia was not the aggressor. Not did it support fascism.

      There was a huge divide in western nations on who to support. It mainly was s proxy war between Russia and the axis + Portugal.

      Most of the western sympathizers, fi Hemingway and Orwell actually supported the rebels. Whatever happened to that appeal?
