Not all Ukrainian's are Nazis. They just come from a country where that kind of thing isn't actively discouraged.

Here's the link you were referring to for context: www.state.gov/reports/2018-country-reports-on-human-rights-practices/ukraine/
I'm not sure that simply electing a Jewish president really suggests that the country doesn't have a problem with far-right nationalists. I think it's pretty obvious that it's still a big issue in Ukraine. I understand that the general consensus currently is not to bad mouth Ukraine in any way whatsoever whilst the invasion is ongoing, however. I guess we're mostly saving all that for once the invasion dies down a bit. Just like Afghanistan.

apart from one or two reports about slack prosecutors, the systematic stuff about abuse and killing it refers to are about "Russia-led forces in the so-called “people’s republics” of Donetsk and Luhansk systematically committed numerous abuses, including torture", pretty much the entire section C. Not really one you can pin on Ukrainians.
The country's no sweden, but certainly no worse or less democratic than EU member states like Poland or Hungary. The whole "Nazi" thing is Russian bullshit which only the most credulous of Russian sympathisers might entertain. this seems to include you

As in, Far-right Nationalism. Something that both Poland and Hungary also have significant problems with, as does Russia.
Not having particular sympathy for Ukraine (Ukraine, not Ukrainians), doesn't automatically make somebody a Russian sympathiser.
Let's get real about this. Can you imagine the UK allowing National Action not only to exist as an organisation, but also to allow them to act as a government sanctioned Militia? How about America arming the Proud Boys and putting them in charge of the National Guard?
I'm not suggesting that Putin's invasion of Ukraine is in any way justified. But we're getting far too fucking involved in this, both in a Diplomatic and social sense, than we need to be. I care about what's happening to the civilians caught up in this shit show, but no more or less than if it was Russian, Sudanese, Iranian, Icelandic, Nigerian or Canadian citizens. But do I care about Ukraine as a country/state/republic/whatever the fuck it ends up being? Not really. Certainly not any more or any less than I did three weeks ago.

On one hand, I love rockets, and I'm stoked that we may get back to the moon in my lifetime.

I don't recall there ever being an agreement that we would provide explicit military support. They aren't a member of the Super Best Friends.
We should absolutely send/provide humanitarian aid, including allowing refugees temporary asylum until this utter shitstorm blows over.
But even providing them with 'defensive' materiel (anti-tank weapons. etc) is a bit much, really. I can't help feeling that we're going to end up creating another Afghanistan if Ukraine survives. These weapons don't just magically despawn once Russia pulls back.
Mind you, the massive consumer price hikes on oil and gas aren't going to magically go away once the fistycuffs stop, either. When you consider the absolutely obscene amount of tax revenue the government is going to make from the huge margins on fossil fuels, it's no surprise that we're making this our business. I'd imagine the big oil and gas companies were immediately rubbing their hands together when they saw all this kick off.

"Refrain", sweetheart. We've agreed to 'Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Belarus, Kazakhstan or Ukraine'. Are you somehow misreading 'refrain from' as 'defend against'?
Or are you suggesting that Russia's breaking of that treaty is an automatic declaration of war against all the other signatories? How on earth could they have missed this?! You should probably alert the relevant nations immediately so we can begin the counter-offensive.
