American journalists are asking Ukrainian soldiers to cover up their Nazi insignia because it might undermine the war against Putin Attached File The same journalists who would gladly call you a Nazi because you once voted for Donald Trump are here to explain how Ukrainians with Swastikas on their helmets and other Nazi insignia aren't really Nazis. Sure, Trump was a Nazi because he used an eagle, you know the symbol of American freedom, on one of his promotional materials. But Ukrainians with swastikas are just cool dudes. Yes, The New York Times is finally getting around to addressing why some of the Ukrainian troops are, quite obviously, pro-Nazi. But they do it in such a way that it's still okay to support them. |

Does Ukraine now have a secret flying saucer base in Antarctica?

Libs are the real Nazi's and that's exactly who's behind and supporting the Ukes.

Ukraine hasn’t purged their government of actual fascists. The C14 leadership’s contends thst if it wasn’t for Nazi participation in the Maidan revolution it would’ve “looked like a gay pride parade”…lols. |

Let’s not get the whole picture of the region or anything. Let’s just get outraged at what they tell us to get outraged at. |

I wonder if there was ever a time when journalists just reported what was going on instead of trying to control what was going on.

Are they worse than Illinois nazis? I really hate Illinois nazis.

Ironic that an invading army that rapes and murders Ukrainian civilians behind their lines is trying to play the moral high ground card.

Quoted: super confused - if Ukraine is full of Nazi's why did they elect and still support a Jewish president? View Quote Because the interior ministry used Nazis to purge Roma and Russians and pro Russians from Kyviv and to fight in the Donbas for years. The presidency and the interior ministry are separate powers. The ministry has control over the national guard and the police. Avakov, the last interior minister was a fascist supporter. |

Try living under the thumb of Russian rule for hundreds of years. There is a reason why every former Soviet Bloc country hates their guts. |

Well Patton wanted to use the Nazis to kill the Russian commies so there is precedent...

I just enjoy shitposting and highlighting when things convert from being a conspiracy theory that will get you banned from mainstream websites like youtube and reddit, to just casual facts. Its fun, and bothers people that still believes the original lie. |

It is what it is, but denying is just stupid The virtue signaling is hilarious when this place hails the government for getting Von Braun on our side. Literally a NAZI party member and with Jewish slaves in his department. Or many people wishing the Germans beat the Russians in WW2. But because Orange Man always has nice things to say about Putin and because Zelensky didn't have some mysterious evidence to give to Trump for his campaign. Many here are now anti-Ukraine and slurping Russian koolaid. |

So let me get this straight--the Russians are still commies because some troops were seen with Soviet flags but the Ukrainians are not Nazis even though some have been seen with Nazi symbols? IMHO, neither is evidence of either and that, more likely than not, some troops are just being "edgy" as troops tend to be and it's really nothing more than that. The Germans killed many, many Russians (and Ukrainians) before the Russians (and Ukrainians) killed many, many, Germans so I think one could see such symbols as more a reference to the previous war rather than actual political ideology.
Accusations of "literally Nazis" are so overdone that any such accusation should be met with severe skepticism. |

I'm surprised they didn't photoshop the gay flag over it instead.

There was some Russian unit a few years back that had Confederate battle flags on their armor.

That's obvious from the laptop and everything that has come out. More coming out all the time. Hell, Joe bragged about firing the prosecutor. Why would a US VP give two shits about who Ukraine has as a prosecutor? |

Remember all the kerfuffle about the Marine scout snipers being all Nazi and stuff? It was nonsense, of course, just Marines being edgy. Not a real Nazi amongst them but it certainly caused a lot of pearl clutching and wadded panties, even here on Arf. |

View Quote I've been in my fair share of Port-a-shitters on US bases across the world. Many have Nazi, KKK, White Power stuff written on the walls inside. The knashing of teeth over this, that Americans would never ever do such a terrible thing, so we should let Ukraine get conquered is stupid. |

I really can't think of anything more American than whining about the patches that people wear while killing other people that we are unwilling to send our own troops to fight...
That is peak 21st Century Americanism. This timeline is retarded as fuck. |

If you're trying to persuade, cover up or direct the details of the story, you're not a journalist. You're a fucking hack.
