So? And the right answer is supposed to be "fall for the distraction and start caring, but support the opposite side for shits and giggles"?
It's the "worst of both worlds" option. Not only forces you to defend disreputable and outright bullshit positions for the sake of the argument, but also distracts your attention from things you supposedly care about, as intended if the distraction theory of this involvement is correct.
And as i see in how much action this and related threads get compared to other things, even those affecting them more directly, for mysterious reasons these pro-Russian people on the right sure do care surprisingly much, despite there being no rational reason for them to.
