I am not pro-Ukraine or pro-Russia. I am pro-West. Jews have been at the receiving end of Ukrainian nationalism which was particularly virulent during WWII. The horrors of Babi Yar (and Banderism) sickens me. However the Ukraine is a sovereign nation and I cannot pretend to ignore that. What Russia did in invading the country was wrong.
Did the west make a mistake in expanding NATO? Yes and no. I think the desire was to avoid the same mistake that allowed an Iron curtain to descend over Eastern Europe following World War II. However I can see why the Russians don't like this. Yes the Zelensky regime is corrupt but so is the Russian. I am not a fan of Zelensky personally but Putin is more of a global threat. Russia and before that the Soviet Union has been undermining the US for many decades now.
Duganism is now the latest incarnation of the threat. Conservatives falling for Putin as he puts on an 'anti-Woke' face ought to be careful. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend. People should stop being so easily duped by words.
