I'm sorry, but the whole argument of fighting against Russian neo-Neeeezism in Ukraine just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Neither does the Russian claim of fighting against Ukrainian neo-Neeezism. It didn't really make sense in 2014, and it still doesn't make sense now.
Both Ukraine and Russia are extremely racist. They also have problems with neo-Neeezism. They're Slavs. It's what they do.
Ukraine uses open neo-Neeezis (RDK) to go into Russia and fight Russian Neeeezis. Russia uses open neo-Neeezis (Wagner) to go into Ukraine and fight Ukrainian Neeeeezis.
A few months ago, a Ukrainian killed a Ukrainain MP because she wasn't Neeeezi enough, even though she basically said all Russian or Russo-Ukrainian children living in Ukraine should be put in "re-education" camps. People claimed he was a Russian agent, but then his father said, "no, my son is just a Neeezi who loves Ukraine" basically.
The fight should simply be one of a people fighting against invasion by another people.
To harp on about WW2 and Neeeezi this Neeeezi that is just asinine.
If they're both Neeezis, then Neeezism wins, either way. And that obviously would be unsettling to many people, even the Neeeezis (of the opposing side).
Of course, the meta-irony of this all is that the actual historical Neeeezis viewed the Ukrainians and Russians as subhuman filth worthy only for being used as forced labour and being slowly starved out.
This war is literally driving otherwise normal people insane out of desperation to win.
Obviously, Putin is the one at fault. His recent comment that he "should have gone in earlier" was equally as insane as it was revelatory.
That comment alone should have finally woken the Russian people up to the lies that they were told. Sadly, that didn't appear to happen.
