Far-right palingenetic ultranationalists under a LGBT-persecuting dictator invading a democratic and sovereign country under false pretenses in order to annex its territory, looting its wealth, claiming ethnic superiority, and engaging in ethnic cleansing and massacres?
No, I think I know who the Nazis are.
You almost make them seem better than they are now.
The National Socialists did this under a leader who knew it was all bullshit. The current leader of the Nazis actually believes his own bullshit.
Putin is a delirious monster, but people seem to be turning a blind eye on certain things
My point: nazis, nazis everywhere
lmao
Try spreading propaganda elsewhere, please. There are neonazis in Ukraine, as there are in most countries - conflating this with Nazis being 'everywhere' in a discussion about Russia's similarities to Nazi Germany in committing ethnic cleansing and potentially literal genocide is nothing but whataboutism and bothsidesism from someone pretending to be an enlightened centrist.
I'm not spreading propaganda or whatsoever, I'm just expressing my opinion.
I find ironical that Russians are being called nazis when it's not a secret that Ukraine has a neonazi problem of their own.
Every country has had neo-Nazis in the last 20 years. Only one of Russia and Ukraine has acted, as a political entity, similar to the actual Third Reich. You are engaging in literally textbook whataboutism.
"Russia, run by a charismatic fascist leader who murders and imprisons his enemies and suppresses minorities, is acting like Nazi Germany by invading another country on thin, false pretenses, and engaging in genocide and other atrocities."
"Oh yeah? Well, some Nazis live in Ukraine."
Wagner PMC was a major part of the initial push into Ukraine, Wagner PMC was a de facto arm of the Russian military, just held at arms length for plausible deniability.
Wagner PMC was named such, because Wagner was Hitler's favorite composer, the founder has literal SS tattoos and has been personally granted half a dozen awards by Putin. Utkin passed the leadership of Wagner over to Yevgeny Prigozhin (who lead the mutiny) in 2016, but is still listed as a commander, and still apparently runs the backend of the mercenary group.

Learn some history
So your response to a Russian state sponsored Nazi military group is to say that there were quasi-nazi militias in Ukraine? Groups that did not in fact have the backing of the Ukrainian government?
Not like the fucking Wagner group, who Putin personally sent to do his dirty work in half a dozen countries. A literal group of convicts and Nazis that Putin has sent to war in exchange for full pardons.
Fuck off with your Russian Nazi propaganda.
The Nazis. Which includes you and Russia. I hope I could clear things up a bit.
