    If you asked any westerner before febuary 2022, they wouldn’t have known the difference between Ukrainians and Russians

      And but for the flags and the Nazi slogans they still can’t tell the difference. To anyone but themselves Ukrainians and Russians look and sound identical, have almost identical culture and share the same religion. This is for all intents and purposes a civil war.

    Danilov has repeatedly promised to “kill” Russians anywhere across the globe, with similar extreme statements consistently made by Mikhail Podoliak, the top aid to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.

    Also from Danilov.

    Russians are Asians and, therefore, lack of “humanity” that Ukrainians purportedly possess

    When they claim it’s only a “fringe part of the military” remember their leaders feel the same.

      “It’s only a small group of them” Meanwhile all of the Ukrainian leaders who weren’t Nazis have left, and it’s virtually impossible to find anyone within Ukraine’s military who doesn’t hold some form of Nazi sentiment.

      They are not nazis if they don’t hate Jews. They just radical nationalists, it’s a completely different thing.

            You could even argue that the original Nazis, while they didn’t neccesarily hate the Russians more than the Jews, were certainly planning a much bigger genocide of Slavic peoples. Those treacherous “Asiatics,” after all, were occupying land that Germany wanted for economic reasons.

    This guy sure is going to be in for a rude surprise when he discovers his western “allies” toss him out like the used tissue that he is.

    I don’t really understand the methodology of people like this, surely he realizes that the west will not accept Ukrainians as white once this war is over, and they’ll literally be treated as evil “asiatic hordes” themselves. All his hateful rhetoric will do is make things harder for Ukrainians, including himself. Hell, we see this already with violence in the west against Ukrainians and other Eastern Europeans because the oh so enlightened and civilised white folk mistook them for Russians.

      I don’t think he will, tbh. I’ve met some folks like that IRL. They’re either delusional and think themselves “one of the good ones”, have an inferiority complex (“oh why couldn’t I have been born GLORIOUS NORDIC”), or are actually ruthless, unscrupulous scumbags who would run at the first whiff of danger and then live cushily somewhere quiet, while spreading their filth. Just look at the original banderites in Canada. At the various London dwelling oligarchs from the former USSR.

        Yeah, a lot of the ones in leadership positions are probably the latter. He knows he’s making things worse, he doesn’t care because he’ll be living a nice easy life handed to him by Americans.

      I mean, the guys he idolizes (Bandera) were doing the same thing. Nazis would have liquidated them if they’d won against the Soviets once they outlived their usefulness.

        Didn’t some of the OG banderites actually got locked up by the Nazis? I recall this being used as a “gotcha” by those trying to “prove” they totally weren’t Nazi collaborators

    It is incredible how consistent they are. Ukranian Nazis really don’t try to hide themselves at all. And libs think these guys need nukes?
