Tornado Alley (PROG)

I stand by the article I posted, which concedes some Nazi influence in Ukraine. Control of Zelensky? Bullshit.

The reaction of NATO tells me that Putin is the threat, NOT Ukrainian Nazis. Also, I don;t take American Nazis as representative of the U.S. as a whole.

Yes, I can read a map as well as I can read Putin's intentions and your political leanings. Like Trump and the RW assholes in the GOP House you're a Putin apologist.

The relationship between Ukraine and Russia has evolved in the more than 20 years since Ukraine has become its own nation. 87% of those born after independence was declared in 1991 identify as Ukrainian while 21 percent of those born before 1991 call themselves “Soviet people.” But this does vary by region, 80% of Western Ukrainians want to be economically tied to the EU versus just 26% in eastern Ukraine.

Vittert said Putin is using propaganda and spreading falsehoods to paint a very different picture in Russia in order to rebuild the Soviet Union, similar to the way Adolf Hitler did prior to World War II.

“If you look at the way Hitler talked about Czechoslovakia, the way Hitler came to power and the way Hitler talked about uniting the fatherland of Germany and avenging World War I, it is the exact same language. It’s the exact same justifications that Vladimir Putin is now using to justify going into Ukraine,” Vittert said. “Vladimir Putin has said time and time and time again, that he does not view stopping at Ukraine as his end goal. He’s talked about reuniting the greater Soviet Union, which includes Poland, that includes the Baltic states that are now members of NATO.”
