What a celebration it was
And right after CNN made a blunder of airing that, this happens.
i never understood this rhetoric: like yes, there is like a nazi group in ukraine, they even have their own small political party, which completely failed to capture any legal mandates whatsoever in every election it ever participated in iirc... how is invading a the country and killing ppl gonna help that? if anything, ukrainians will be forced to band together with them, if it means protection for them...
The invasion doesn't help. There are more Nazis in Ukraine than ever. But if Ukraine is demilitarised, the Nazis would then also be demilitarised. The point isn't really to legitimise the invasion on anti-nazi grounds, it's just to push back against the western narrative that the Nazis are few and hold no power in Ukraine. There isn't one Nazi political party, there are several, and Nazis have a lot of power in the Ukrainian military. Russia is only invading because they are scared of NATO on their border, not to help Ukrainians.
