I've tried to search for opinions on what's going on in Ukraine, but most posts are incredibly old. I'm not too educated on the matter myself (well, aside from keeping up most of the time with what cities are under whose control and all of that). I haven't really heard much about the geopolitical side of things, and it's hard to know what's disinfo or not; That's why I'd like to ask: What is your stance on the Ukraine war?

Do I support innocent civilians dying or workers being sent to fight and getting killed? No. Do I support stamping out of Nazis? Yes. Russia has a right to security guarantees on its border which the west has continually undermined for the last 30 years. Ukraine is being use as pawn to destroy Russia and Russia made the ugly decision of striking back. I welcome the downfall of NATO.

I welcome the downfall of NATO.

Considering Russia's invasion has directly lead to the doubling of NATO's border with Russia (via Finland joining), the soon to be member Sweden, as well as many NATO countries spending more on defense, I fail to see how Russia's invasion has done anything but strengthen NATO.

You think countries like Sweden taking money away from public services and funneling them into corrupt and bloated private military-industrial corporations makes them "stronger"?

From a military and defensive military alliance standpoint, absolutely. The guy above is welcoming the downfall of NATO while NATO grows larger and more powerful. He is going to be waiting awhile. NATO hasn't seen this much enthusiasm in decades.
