When Vladimir Putin announced Russia’s invasion of Ukraine at dawn on Thursday, he justified the “special military operation” as having the goal to “denazify” Ukraine. The justification is not tenable, but it would be a mistake simply to dismiss it. Vladimir Putin is himself a fascist autocrat, one who imprisons democratic opposition leaders and critics. He is the acknowledged leader of the global far right, which looks increasingly like a global fascist movement. Putin, the leader of Russian Christian nationalism, has come to view himself as the global leader of Christian nationalism, and is increasingly regarded as such by Christian nationalists around the world, including in the United States. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/25/vladimir-putin-ukraine-attack-antisemitism-denazify Widespread xenophobia among the Russian population also continues to provide fertile ground for neo-Nazis and other ultranationalist groups. Many Russians blame immigrants for stealing jobs and committing crimes. https://www.rferl.org/a/russian_neonazi_sentences_welcomed/24263471.html “We will strive for the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine,” the Russian leader said in an address last week ordering a military attack on Ukraine, adding his goal was “to protect people who have been abused by the genocide of the Kyiv regime for eight years.” The accusations only got more bizarre a few days later, when Putin said Ukrainian soldiers should “take power into your own hands” against “this gang of drug addicts and neo-Nazis.” Putin’s rationale for invading Ukraine was the most high-profile example of disinformation experts say the Kremlin has tried to percolate for years. https://thehill.com/policy/international/596649-putins-nazi-claims-jeered-in-west-but-stoke-russian-pride Edited March 3, 2022 by ozimoron 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An almost perfect description of the not so hidden elements within Russia itself, attacks on gypsies by extremists, Nazi extremist gangs and militia, LBGT persecution throughout Russia. Quite ironic that Russia is home to neo nazi training and it was the destination which the extremists from Sweden went to for training before bombing a refugee center in Sweden. I've not seen Putin declare a war on this within his own homeland. Instead using a false Nazi narrative to justify Russia's unprovoked attack on the Ukraine, a narrative that is seeded by the Kremlin and state media through the the Kremlin troll army. I see your firmly part of that now. The world has woken up to Russia's aggression. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozimoron Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 ...the idea of Ukraine as a Nazi state is deeply rooted in the Russian nationalist narrative. Similarly, Putin’s claims of “genocide” in Ukraine reflect Russian nationalism. Ukraine has a large ethnic Russian population, especially in its East, and many Ukrainians of all ethnicities speak Russian. In Putin’s paranoid telling, these people are not merely rightful Russian citizens wrongfully separated from the motherland; they are potential victims of an ethnic cleansing campaign by the neo-Nazi Ukrainian government. https://www.vox.com/2022/2/24/22948944/putin-ukraine-nazi-russia-speech-declare-war 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Walker88 Posted March 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2022 And it just keeps getting worse.... Russia is now shelling the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, a nuke facility multiple times larger than Chernobyl. If it is breached, the fallout would spread across all of Europe. Apparently there is no Red Line. If one has nukes, one can invade whomever they want, kill as many civilians as they desire, even unleash fallout across the world's largest economic zone and home to almost a billion people. Confront Little Vlad the Psychopath, and we get nuclear winter.
