It's also the ridiculous claim that Putin was forced or tricked into starting this war, while ignoring Putin's own statements about wanting to reconstitute the former bits of the Soviet Union.
Whatever possible legitimacy this had was thrown out the window when he went way past the Russian speaking parts of Ukraine, and even threatened Finland and Sweden - the latter of which doesn't even share a border with Russia.
As long as it's understood why they are siding with Ukraine. Liberals side with Ukraine because they believe Putin stole the election from Hillary in 2016, they don't really care about Ukraine, they just want to see Putin hang.
“If anyone on the left is in favor of something, we automatically should take the opposite position no matter how ridiculous it may be.”
Perhaps you tell us what the word AUTOMATICALLY means then?
