I’m not from the US, so I’m curious why Americans still wants him back. I always see him as a bad mouthed guy and was worse when he lost in 2020. But feel free to change my mind. This question is also for non-trump supporters who can think of one thing (if you can) on why he’s good for the top position.
What I’m trying to say, and I could say in a half dozen ways, is there is no evidence Ukraine is nazi state, but yes valid point: Bibi is a piece of shit, but I also don’t think he’s antisemitic as Russia claims Zelenskyy is.
There is, in fact, much more evidence that Russia is.
Please see my other comment in this thread, it would be easier to discuss under one comment than to split it in multiple :)
Well, I guess one can find a reason to accuse almost anyone of almost anything, so let’s compare the evidence against current ukr government and current rus government (but again let’s do that in that other thread please, I already gave examples of nazism from current government there).
I’m not really sure what thread you’re talking about, but I’m content with where I am here :)
There are documentaries showing a rise of right-wing neo-nazi groups in Russia as early as 2000s. Aleksandr Dugin is a self-described neo-nazi and essentially Putin’s right-hand Rasputin. The entire culture of Russia has become heavily anti-immigrant. Wagner itself had nazi origins.. Putin is committing now just an attempted genocide in Ukraine but also one in Russia as he purges ethnic minorities to the front-lines while he keeps those middle-class in St. Petersburg and Moscow largely sheltered from the war. Forgetting the fact that Russia now has one of the worst ratings for Corruption and Journalistic Transparency in the world, matching the likes of the Taliban in Afghanistan — LOL.
Oh and of course Putin took a page out of Hitler’s book when he invaded Poland under the false pretenses of protecting Ethnic German and invaded a sovereign neighboring nation. Nothing tops the wrongful, aggressive invasion of a neighboring state as they try to annex territory and commit documented war crime after documented war crime.
Yeah yeah, I know people talk of Azov, but that’s <1% of UAF. It would be no different if the shit-stains under The Base, Oathkeepers, 1%ers, Proud Boys, Boogaloo boys all joined banners alongside the rest of the country to fight against a foreign invader, such as Russia.
If you’re a Russian or Russian sympathizer, understand the majority of the world both population and economics-wise is not on your side. You’re relegating yourself to being global pariah akin to North Korea. A laughing stock.
Ok, sure :)
I never heard of this guy, so thanks for the info. He doesn’t seem to be anyone really important though, I quickly read some info about him and he just seems to be an “influencer” to me if I may use this word, not sure why you consider him Putin’s right hand…
Are you saying that being anti-immigrant is somehow equal to being a nazi? I haven’t yet heard such a take.
Anyway, I found this article from UN (which was published just 3 years ago, I don’t think it can be considered outdated already?) which says Russia is actually in top 5 countries by the amount of immigrants.

Yeqh, this one I can believe.
Well, if you can call this a genocide, then I can definitely call the kidnappings of people from the streets and forcefully sending them to die to frontlines by Zelensky’s regime a genocide. And a Ukrainian right now is more likely to die from that, than from some shelling or otherwise becoming a civil casualty.
I’m not sure which exactly index you are talking about (I’m not denying it though, this seems quite plausible to me), but I’m sure that if this index is in any way reliable, Ukraine would be somewhere quite close, there is just as much corruption and almost just as little journalistic freedom.
Well yeah his remark about Poland in that interview was indeed stupid.
Do you think Ukrainian side does not commit “war crimes”? Civilians in Belgorod (and other Russian neighbouring cities) are regularly dying from Ukrainian attacks.
Yeah this is one of my arguments :)
Glad we can at least agree that those guys are nazis. What do you think about Zelensky (head of state!) making and publishing photos with their commander? Does it look like endorsment of nazism from the highest level of government?
Second question, what do you think about Stepan Bandera?
I am Ukrainian actually. I do not sympathize with Russia, I think everybody is equally bad (except for those who at least try to finish the war, which right now is Trump and Orban).
