When a country goes to war, they do so for self interest. Full stop. One can agree with those interests, or in the international rules that justify the conflict, or not.
With Ukraine, I selfishly do not want Russia becoming a renewed Empire, because it makes the world more dangerous, and Russia never will be a democratic state. I also believe that the post-WWII rules that a country can't increase its own borders through war is a valid one (though proxy wars still seem to be allowed).
Quite wrong, the cause is way bigger than the U.S: the cause is standing against the absurd expansion of secular thought; and its immoral corruption on earth.
Secular thought built this hellish world of today that is an immoral jungle;with its borders kept safe by the fragile constraint of Nuclear Deterrence.
The weak get chopped and eaten with its civilians being isolated in concentration camps like dogs.
This hell only lasted for 80 years, from WW2 to this day.
Russia is not alone in this you know, I repeated thousands of times that China is with it. And both (along with other mini-powers like North Korea) want the spot of the U.S .
I believe that Ukraine is only one front of WW3.
Nukes will start dropping soon enough, just like the whole world entered this war by proxy, direct intervention will happen soon.
Many don't like the rules of the world today, including Russia and China (Gog and Magog).
And just like Russia is the descendants of the Golden Horde, and China are the decedents of the Mongols, a WW3 will come and new horrors will come with it (like the first Mongol expansions).
