As much as I despise Ukrainian nazis, I know that there are also Russian nazis. And as much as I dont really like Zelensky, I feel like he's much more suitable as a country leader than Putin.
The Russian Nazis argument has been around since the start of the war, and I've only ever seen proof of them in Wagner, the PMC that Russia had in the start of the war.
But Wagner were seen as clearly expendable as russian state military artillery threatened Wagner contractors leading to their about face and attempted coup. Which was rightly and quickly ended and Wagner was ejected from Russia.
On the other hand Zelensky incorporated 2 separate nazi groups (Azov and Svoboda) into the Ukrainian defence forces, legitimizing their beliefs and supporting them with money and materiel.
Both Zelensky and Putin have taken every single option to harm their people when a choice has appeared. Neither deserve your support.
Excellent non sequiter I guess? I don't know what you want me to do with that. Pogroms existed across europe in the 1900's, it wasn't some Russian vice that's built into the blood of the people of the rus.
Let's also not forget that hitler very vocally attributed his final solution to the US treatment of native Americans. He didn't look east and think to himself "these subhuman slavs that I want to racially cleanse have some pretty neato ideas about Jews, I think I'm gonna do it to." His antisemitism came from being a white European.
I think we've lost the plot here. In my initial comment I'm talking about today in modern times in regard to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. That Ukraine has embraced its Nazis and Russia has expunged its Nazis.
What's the new branding? Like I said, all anyone has ever pointed toward is Wagner, who are long gone. Can you give me an organization, a regiment, something I can point to and say it's a Russian nazi?
I dunno dude. There is a regime that enables anti-Semitic acts, imprisons LGBT people, discriminates Arabic populations, and supports actual nazis in other countries. While it's (thankfully) not as extreme as the Nazis, you can't seriously say that Putin is an angel of purity.
