Yeah whatever, it's still a banderite slogan lmao
Bandera? The guy who was imprisoned by Hitler?
No, Bandera, the one who formulated armies for Hitler.
Point is, the guy's motivations were singularly around Ukrainian nationalism. Then when Hitler found him inconvenient, he was imprisoned. When judging people's actions, it's best to stay informed about their motives. Especially so when you're trying to cast people as Nazis by two degrees of separation.
And released soon after and pumped with money and send as agent to fight Soviets. You might also read what happened to him after war.
Its best to also talk with larger context in mind, not whitewashing Bandera and Hitler.
Stalin made a deal with Hitler to split up Poland. Surely anyone who doesn't condemn Stalin's legacy must be essentially a Nazi?
Zelensky is a Jew, that is why he wants to support Nazism. Obama is black, so he can never bomb Libya. You going for this logic, amirite?
No. I'm saying that in complex wars with many parties, it can be simplistic to label people as dedicated to a cause when they have merely made an alliance of convenience. What you're talking with Zelensky is different. Nazism is a direct threat to his ethnicity.
I'm not sure where Obama enters into it, though. Black people have been killing other Black people in Africa for a long time. When ethnicity is involved, it's usually tribal instead of racial.
That Zionist has a full army of soldiers with Nazi badges on their uniform lol. What a threat it must be!
