I said that, not them. Notice I never said there are zero Nazis in the Russian state apparatus, only that "Nazis on both sides" dishonestly equates the problem with the more serious situation in Ukraine.

Name me a time when [a country] was intentionally and objectively good and don't include times it was repairing damage it did.

The DPRK's support for Algerian independence under the NLF and recognition of the Algerian state as a sign of internationalist progressive policy; DPRK's support for the national liberation struggle of the Mozambican people; the USSR's aid to Korea in gaining independence from Japan and the PRC's deployment of troops to wage war against the occupying U.S. imperialists in the Korean Peninsula; the USSR's support for the Cuban struggle against U.S. imperialism; the PLA's liberation of Tibet from feudal theocracy with the support of the toiling masses of Tibet; the USSR's support for the Nicaraguan Sandinistas against the reactionary U.S.-backed "guerilla" Contras; these are a few examples.

Yes. Now here's a complete post debunking "China's genocide": https://xinjiangahr.carrd.co/

you are a horrible person

It was a result of the U.S. purposely undoing progressive reform in Afghanistan[*] and backing extremists to draw the USSR in and provoke a slaughter (then lying about it and saying they only funded extremists afterwards, only to admit this later); the U.S. then returned to assert control of the middle east due to oil pipeline plans/natural gas reserves. Oh and also the U.S. used the economic system that they had set up during occupation to starve Afghanis after they left. This wasn't some silly accident, it was part of a plan that no matter what meant the destruction of Afghanistan and the murder of hundreds of thousands. It doesn't matter if it was directly "on purpose."

[*] US State Department Memorandum six months before the Soviet invasion: “The United States’ larger interest...would be served by the demise of the Taraki regime, despite whatever setbacks this might mean for future social and economic reform in Afghanistan.... The overthrow of the DRA [Democratic Republic of Afghanistan] would show the rest of the world, particularly the Third World, that the Soviet’s view of the socialist course of history as being inevitable is not accurate” (reproduced in Cockburn and St. Clair’s Whiteout, pp. 262-63).

I'm completely serious.

same...

No, Prigozhin and Utkin were both Russian "Wagner", both killed in the plane crash. Both bald too lmao so I understand the confusion.

It was in the same comment you replied to. Also don't say "crazy", it's ableist.

You're thinking of Utkin

No response to me proving you wrong abt Nazis in the govt/high command, fine. Wagner is not nearly as pervasive as Neo-Nazism is in Ukraine, and it's dishonest to equate them.

There are a few literal Nazis on both sides. Ukraine doesn't have any in the government or high command apparatus

Zelensky thanked and did a photo shoot with the Nazi Andriy Biletsky (leader of the Azov Battalion, said his goal is to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade… against Semite-led Untermenschen”); Zelensky also wears and advertises Nazi merchandise [1] [2]. And Ukrainian parliament and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine openly celebrate Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera (he has monuments all over Ukraine). So your claims of no Nazis in govt or high command are completely incorrect.

“Nazis on both sides” is nonsense, and before the war demanded every western source to support Ukraine, the Neo-Nazi problem in Ukraine was widely publicized and documented [1] [2] [3] [4]. Clearly the US realized how many Nazis there were in Ukraine to the extent that they lifted regulations on congressional funding of Neo Nazis when supporting Ukraine. Maybe before giving up it’s sovereignty Ukraine can try to remove its monuments to Nazi collaborators, purge Nazis from office, and stop being a U.S. vassal state.
