With Ukraine’s military badly outnumbered by the invading Russians and desperately in need of more soldiers, villages like Makiv are being emptied of their fighting-age men.

            Classic lib claiming that NATO being full of literal nazis is unrelated to NATO being bad. The fact that you can’t connect the two things really shows just what an intellectually impoverished individual you are.

              Comment I replied to is explicitly about Russia in Ukraine right now.

              Edit then someone posted an image trashing NATO for something unrelated to Russia being in Ukraine right now, thus proving me right.

              Talking about other conflicts or historical events is classic goalpost moving.

              I didn’t contest or even bring up paperclip Nazis in the west, someone reflexively did which is great.

              Edit Regarding the image, acting like the us/west was the only one trying to collect Nazi intelligence via recruiting scientists and the like is comical. If the soviets could have got them, they would have. Sucks to suck?

                Describing a pattern of behavior is evidence.

                  Lol no.

                  Whatever folks they sent to the gulag they wrung dry of knowledge first. Stalin had a fun habit of discarding his playthings when bored.

                  Edit Regarding your links, I never contested paperclip Nazis or NATO involvement in Ukraine but “regime change” in Ukraine is silly. It’s a defensive war to kick Russia OUT of Ukraine.

                  You’re just mad it’s “kyiv” not “kiev” and it’s “Ukraine” not “the Ukraine”

                    Not Nazis or NATO, but the US specifically. This isn’t even seriously contested anymore. It’s an open secret that corporate media won’t touch for fear of flak and losing access to sources.

                Ukraine is a proxy in a war between Russia and NATO.

                  Ukraine is a proxy in a war between Russia and NATO.

                  Which Russia can stop at any time by LEAVING THE SOVEREIGN SOIL OF ANOTHER NATION.

                  Literally never addressed Nazis in the west. Not one bit. Why’d you bring it up?

                  The point I did bring up is that the soviets also secured rocket engineers, and undoubtedly would have loved to have von Braun and similar.

                  And beyond that, as the original comment was discussing Russians in Ukraine, which they obviously are. Even if it is a proxy war, it is a just one because Russia kicked it off with a flaccid attempt on kyiv. Edit and NATO is backing Ukraine. If Russia pulled out tomorrow the evil NATO certainly wouldn’t chase them into classic Russian territory.

                    That’s true: the scientists are hardly worth mentioning, because most were just worker bees. It’s really the assimilation of the Nazi command structure that was the issue.

                    Communism—unlike liberalism—is incompatible with fascism.
