    Far-right palingenetic ultranationalists under a LGBT-persecuting dictator invading a democratic and sovereign country under false pretenses in order to annex its territory, looting its wealth, claiming ethnic superiority, and engaging in ethnic cleansing and massacres?

    No, I think I know who the Nazis are.

      You almost make them seem better than they are now.

      The National Socialists did this under a leader who knew it was all bullshit. The current leader of the Nazis actually believes his own bullshit.

        One Patriot of Ukraine member has claimed the group was behind the seizure and torching of the headquarters of a political party during the US-backed “Maidan” coup in 2014.

        Following his release from prison, Biletsky got his chance to carry out a campaign of violence against the ethnic Russians of eastern Ukraine. As war broke out in the country, with the Russian majority of the east seeking self-determination in the face of a nationalist post-coup government viewed as Western puppets,

        lmao

        Try spreading propaganda elsewhere, please. There are neonazis in Ukraine, as there are in most countries - conflating this with Nazis being ‘everywhere’ in a discussion about Russia’s similarities to Nazi Germany in committing ethnic cleansing and potentially literal genocide is nothing but whataboutism and bothsidesism from someone pretending to be an enlightened centrist.

          I’m not spreading propaganda or whatsoever, I’m just expressing my opinion.

          I find ironical that Russians are being called nazis when it’s not a secret that Ukraine has a neonazi problem of their own.

            Every country has had neo-Nazis in the last 20 years. Only one of Russia and Ukraine has acted, as a political entity, similar to the actual Third Reich. You are engaging in literally textbook whataboutism.

            “Russia, run by a charismatic fascist leader who murders and imprisons his enemies and suppresses minorities, is acting like Nazi Germany by invading another country on thin, false pretenses, and engaging in genocide and other atrocities.”

            “Oh yeah? Well, some Nazis live in Ukraine.”
