“TS likes to use the term Zionazis”
_____________________
There are Nazis in Ukraine in the sense of self identifying supporters of Nazi ideology. But I still want to know from people like TS here what proportion of the population or even the military, count as Nazis. And what about Russia? You could just as easily argue it too has its Nazi supporters. They are Nazis in all but name. The Wagner group springs to mind. Some of Medvedev´s recent comments sound pretty Nazi like to me.
I come across the expression so often from supporters of the Russian capitalist regime that Russia is waging a holy war against the “Ukranazi state”. At the very least it is diversionary BS given that there is precious little to differentiate the corrupt repressive Putin regime from the corrupt repressive Zelensky regime. Why then would the former seek to invade the latter if it seriously took exception to the character and ideological outlook of the latter
Name-calling is all too often substitute for, and an excuse not to engage in, serious analysis. The pretext for war is very rarely the same thing as the reason for war. Zelensky is no different from Putin in his crazed desire to take territory for his beloved Ukraine as his recent rantings at the Davos summit reveal. To hell with the lot of them. They make me sick.
