    Are you implying there really are Neo-Nazis in Ukraine’s government? Forgive my ignorance but I thought that was something Putin made up as a rallying point.

      There are probably neo-Nazis in the American government. Doesn’t mean our government is neo-Nazi.

        There was that FBI report stating that many institutions are already infiltrated by white supremacist groups. And that’s made prevalent by how law enforcement and rulings respond to straight white individuals and everyone else.

      I think that one of the extreme far-right parties has one seat, or something like that. Kinda like we have MTG, Lauren Boebert, The Pedo Matt Gaetz, Yurtle McConnell, etc. It’s absolutely not a majority. And the fact that Zelensky is Jewish kinda proves that the idea that Nazis run the gov’t is a lie.

      One explanation I’ve heard is that “Nazi” is synonymous with “against Russia”. I don’t know if that’s correct, but it ‘feels’ correct.

      They’re a minority that has as many supporters as they do because they were some of the first to respond to Russia’s invasion in 2014.
