Also, wasn’t Zelensky Jewish? Hence why I figured those must be different nazi’s or something.

The US is a white supremacist settler colony founded on genocide and slavery, but it also had a black president once. The latter doesn’t negate the former. Zelensky is a comprador figurehead. His role is to go on TV and say what the US tells him to say. He doesn’t need to personally like Hitler in order to work alongside people who do toward a shared goal. He doesn’t actually have decision-making power in Ukraine, as evidenced by the time he tried to accept Russia’s peace terms a few weeks into the military operation only to be overruled by Boris Johnson. If you’re asking why Banderites in the Ukrainian military would tolerate a Jewish person as a nominal figurehead: they don’t particularly like it, but they’re playing along because he’s a means to an end. He’s helped legitimize their acts of terror, formally integrated them into the government, and enabled them to access unlimited foreign funding and weaponry to pursue their goal of ethnically “purifying” Ukraine. It’s also fairly clear that Zelensky’s at considerable risk of being assassinated by Banderites if/when he ever stops being useful to them. They openly assassinated the Ukrainian negotiator that was involved in peace talks with Russia after the UK intervened, then declared it illegal to negotiate any peace with Russia. Regrettably for Zelensky, keeping the war going indefinitely is also likely his only way of prolonging his own life at this point. The guns pointed at his back are a much greater threat to him personally than the guns pointed at his front.

Using the military can be a good thing, but I have to disagree that murder is a good solution.

I hate to be the one to have to tell you what the purpose of a military is… War is always a tragedy, which is why Russia has done everything in their power to avoid it for the better part of a decade while NATO made it increasingly clear that they were preparing for an attack. It’s why Russia’s objectives for this operation have always been to secure the Russian people of the Donbas from targeted ethnic violence, to ensure Ukraine’s neutrality and independence, and to disarm and remove the NATO-sponsored Banderite regime that overthrew the democratically elected Ukrainian government, outlawed political opposition, and ended democratic elections. Russia’s goal is peaceful coexistence with a democratic and independent Ukraine, which is why they’ve consistently offered peace terms that would enable that. Russia resorted to military action to secure that goal only after exhausting every other possible option to secure it diplomatically.

Offering people a way out right next door would’ve been better than shooting at their homes. There may be assholes out there, but they’re still just people living their lives doing their own thing. Most probably don’t want to deal with the political mess out there.

Russia is trying to offer the people of the Donbas a way out by physically securing them from state violence. They did this after years of taking in refugees fleeing Banderite violence. Russia is trying to offer the people of Ukraine a way out by negotiating a peace contingent on the removal of the foreign weapons triggering the conflict, disempowering the Nazis most directly responsible for the inciting violence, and restoring independence and democratic elections to Ukraine.
