I don’t doubt a lot of the hype around Zelenskyy specifically is some psyop. That being said, Ukraine is objectively the victim of Russian aggression and facing a genocidal war of aggression from Russia. I see supporting Ukraine as the most pro-democracy, pro-proletariat position. Russia is a fascist oligarchy sending immigrants and kidnapped folks (like those from India) to go commit atrocities and die for Putin’s imperial ambitions.

As a Mexican, I just can’t see a prodemocratic side on this, neither an anti-imperialist one. Ukraine chose a side and tried to exercise its sovereignty measuring the forces around itself, but all I saw was NATO, the CIA, with a collaborationist government destabilization op, a textbook one by the American empire. We’d never do that to them, it is not fair, but the gigantic power of our neighbor is real. Here, a prospect of president like Zelensky, talking about taking California back with the military aid of BRICS (it’s hypothetical, I know they are not a military organization), would be treated like the looney they are. Other than this, the claim of a genocidal war you mention, seem unsubstantiated, but, as I pointed out, the conflict itself is not the focus of this post.
