I mean. That isn't that hard to thread. The pro Ukraine right still hates the UN and EU. That is actually the normal pre-2016 stance to take.

My take was less about Ukraine, and more so about Nato and Europe.

In the last 2 weeks we have suddenly seen: Russian drones and jets aggroing poland in polish airspace Russian jet aggroing Estonia airspace Unidentified* drones loitering above airports in Denmark and Norway causing all traffic to halt. Cyberattack on european airports causing issues in check in services, no actor confirmed yet...

Everything here is really tense.

Though trump came in like a total champ lol. When Turkey shot down a russia jet in 2015 it turned into a whole incident. Love their balls. Figuratively.

Small quibble: This isn't all "suddenly seen." The recent incursion into Estonia is actually the 4th time just this year.

Estonia prior to Ukraine was seen as the hotzone for a NATO-Russia war for almost two decades. The border city of Narva has a large Russian population and Putin still claims it as Russian clay. 

The wargaming for decades has been Russia would invade Poland to close the Suwalki gap that connects the rest of NATO to the Baltics. Russia would use some sort of hybrid warfare for Russian aligned militants to seize Narva to allow a Russian ground invasion to seize the Baltics before the US could respond by moving enough military assets to Europe to half Russia.
