I don't think he does. He got in a lot of hot water at the beginning of the invasion for being anti-Ukraine and now keeps that on the downlow because his audience is too liberal to tolerate that. He knows why the Ukraine war started he just libs it up after he got slapped around for a bit.
idk he keeps saying he supports ukraine but it has nazi elements or whatever. to me the discussion should be focused on why donbas isnt allowed self determination and how its unacceptable how they have been treated by ukraine
Yeah he probably doesn't know that Crimea wanted to secede prior to the invasion and that Euromaidan only increased that desire. Either he doesn't know or he does know and calculated that trying to convince liberals Crimea wanted what the Russians actually did would be virtually impossible and conceded on that
He has talked about that early on. Now he will only say "I support the Ukrainian right to defend their territorial integrity" and moves the chatters along to a different topic. He started saying that right around the time Reddit, Meta, Twitter, YouTube, and Twitch were doing bans for "promoting hate" or "spreading disinformation" on accounts that were anti Ukraine or pro Russia. Suspect he got a strong warning from his Twitch rep.
Weird thing is same people who oppose self determination of Russian areas of Ukraine have wet dreams about non-western aligned countries splintering into countless fiefdoms.
