Decrying Nazism – even when it's not there – has been Russia's 'Invade country for free' card

If the term Nazi is bandied around willy nilly then it can be used by all sorts of bad actors

The rise of the Nazis in Ukraine is factual and was confirmed as a coming threat by the United Nations in 2012. Since then the Nazi militias have infiltrated the Ukraine goverment and military.

It was the military under control of the Azov group who were shelling the Russian speaking enclaves over the last 8 years with the loss of 14,000 Russian citizen's lives.

Not only did Putin finally get fed up with this and finally decided to stop the slaughter but it was time to remind Ukraine of the legal agreements made between Russia and Ukraine that Ukraine would not joine NATO and stay neutral.

The claim that Russia considers anyone who speaks against them as Nazis is garbage. Zelensky may well be Jewish but he is well in bed with the Nazis in Ukraine.

NAZI is not really a 'thing'. It is a 'word' we use to denote a certain type of social structure, what we call 'fascism', albeit it is just an extreme form of all Human hierarchical social structure. This form is usually defined by highly conservative, highly nationalistic values that favor the ruling clique and often uses the manufactured fear of minority groups to form an insular 'group identity' or 'group mentality' which is easy to control and steer to whatever ends most benefit the rulers.

This article , based on the rantings of an elected government official, could just as well, or even more appropriately, have been written about the United States and, in many places in the article, the United States would have been a better example. Although passé now, not long ago "Commies" was used in the same way by the United States as this article claims Russia uses NAZI and with much more devastating effects on the lives of other nations.

One of the more confused themes here is the NAZI/Judaism relationship that conflates psychopathic, fascistic zionism with humanistic Judaism and the two could not be more different. In fact, if one studies the history and particularly "The Exchange Agreement", one discovers that the zionists actively collaborated with the Reich from 1933 to 1939 in extorting Gold from terrified Jewish-Germans, laundering it in Palestine, and returning much of it back to the Reich by breaking the 1933 worldwide boycott of German exports and then providing much of the Forex which allowed Germany to modernize and rearm. There were NO zionists amongst the many Jewish-Germans in the camps. Currently, what we see in Palestine surrounded by barbed wire, concrete walls, and murderous 'guards' are perfectly equivalent to 'NAZI' concentration camps.

ALL governments are NAZIoid in one way or another and certainly the U.S. manifests aspects of that routinely among its police and in times of political dissent. And one might ask the original peoples of Hawai'i, Puerto Rico, others, and even, in a way, Japan, about 'expansionism'.

And lastly, both Biden and Sanders are Democratic Party members so could we say that Sanders is an 'ally' of Biden as the article refers to Oleg Morozov to conflate Mr. Putin with Morozov's quoted statements? This article is just standard propagandistic mind packing trying to differentiate one set of psychopaths from those that exist in every other ruling class and government among us. Sad to see it here.

And the label “Nazi” has been selectively used and misused to target the perceived opponents of the Putin regime

take out, “opponents of the Putin regime”, and add any group you don’t like…this happens all over the west everyday-not a Russian specific technique.

The author misunderstands Russia’s rhetoric. Russia is tapping into past animosities with Ukraine over Ukrainians collaborating with the Nazis in WWII. With whom is Ukraine collaborating now? NATO.

Nazi = NATO. When Russia talks about the denazification of Ukraine, what they mean is breaking Ukraine’s collaboration with Western European and American globalists.

Russia did not want to start off the conflict plainly stating that they were at war with NATO and globalists. “Nazi” has been an effective euphemism. People in Ukraine understand it. People in Russia understand it. Many of the best thinkers in the West still don’t get it.

Decrying Nazism – even when it's not there – has been Russia's 'Invade country for free' card

Oh my, two MSM propaganda comedy stories today. Good god, even the US Congress and President Obama has acknowledged the NAZI element in Ukraine.

Do yourselves a favor, go to Google or Youtube and search for Ukrainian Nazis.

You will find many reports from before the war by now very anti Russian media outlets.

There are plenty of Nazis amongst the Ukrainian nationalists, however, not all Ukrainian nationalists are Nazis.

The "de-Nazification" of Ukraine is far from being the main reason for the invasion... I mean, special military operation.

There are plenty of Nazis amongst the Ukrainian nationalists, however, not all Ukrainian nationalists are Nazis.

I'd guess that's true, but being so far away, what do we know?

This conflict keeps bringing a Robert Burns song to mind - Ye Jacobites By Name. (Not his song originally, just his version of the lyrics.) A heroic struggle or a stupid waste of lives?

What makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar? 

What makes heroic strife famed afar? 

What makes heroic strife? 

To whet th' assassin's knife, 

Or hunt a Parent's life, wi' bluidy war? 

Eddi Reader's version generally brings some tears to my eyes.

Remember 'Ivan the Terrible' Jogn Demjanjuk? A Ukrainian traitor to the USSR and a Nazi collaborator. He guarded at the Treblinka concentration camp.
