Zelensky just went on CNN claiming that it was necessary to stop RU in Bakhmut because RU would be able to easily launch attacks on Kramatorsk and Sloviansk if RU can take Bakhmut. Zelensky claims that the generals are in agreement that UA needs to fight for Bakhmut instead of making a tactical surrender. I would assume that the fear is that RU could make it all the way up to retake Izyum and then have the ability to attack Kharkiv from the north from Belarus and from the southeast via Izyum. Not sure where Russia will get the personnel and arms to do this, but Putin seems to be in no hurry.
Also of note is political unrest in Georgia (the country near Russia). Parliament is working on a foreign agent law which is basically a poison pill for EU integration and a classic Russian move for crushing dissenting politicians and activists. Part of Georgia is occupied by separatists who are pro-Russian. If you think Putin is going to quit if Zelensky's arm is twisted into doing a peace deal, I will bet you a case of vodka that Putin will roll right into Georgia as soon as his troops no longer are in combat in Ukraine. The only question would be whether he goes after Moldova first.
Protesters in Tbilisi have reached the steps of the parliament building. Situation is derailing.
Reason for the protest is a law which is a copy of the Russian “foreign agent” law and which is basically a wild card to discredit any opposition. #Georgiapic.twitter.com/nUWZ50JaMm
Can i be bold an state that at least every second person in the US has nazi tendencies?
Judging by the joy of extermination of Russian soldiers, we have quite a few nazis even in this thread. Innocent boys, both Ukrainian and Russian are being killed in this war.
That is a failure of logic. One could be in favor of killing invading soldiers without being a Nazi. Were the Afghans killing Russian invaders Nazis? Were Chechen and Georgian resisters to Russian soldiers Nazis?

According to Putin logic, nazi just means "someone who opposes Russia". If you use that twisted definition, no_deal's and newname's posts make a lot more sense.
The LED display at the shopping center was hacked, probably by Russians who are trying to portray Ukraine as full of Nazis to justify an unprovoked genocidal war against Ukraine.
NATO never agreed not to expand. That is a pure lie. NATO never entered into any sort of formal treaty with Russia in which it agreed to forgo expansion. Any such treaty would have required Russia to substantially de-militarize, akin to WWII peace treaties with Japan and Germany. Russia wanted to keep its massive military in order to beat up on any independence movements within its new republic and did so in brutal fashion in Chechnya--twice. Russians in the 1990s were still very sophisticated diplomatic negotiators and knew full well that any behind the scenes assurances they received regarding NATO expansion were only as good as the paper they were written on. The Russians had no interest in any enforceable treaties with the West over NATO expansion because the Russians wanted to do lots of things that would threaten all the countries that wanted to join NATO.
Russia agreed on paper, in writing, in an actual treaty to respect Ukraine's borders and its right to self determination in exchange for being relieved of having to support Ukraine as a Soviet satellite and, more importantly, in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear arsenal. If Ukraine still had its nukes, Russia would have never invaded. Of course, these actual agreements are never mentioned by Putinists because as Lavrov said, the war in Ukraine was "launched against" the poor peace loving Russians (and then the laughter broke out).
Ukraine actually has one of the smallest ultra right movements in all of Europe. The ultra right block only got 2% of the vote in the last parliamentary elections. France and Italy have much larger and more powerful ultra right movements. Hungary and Turkey are pretty much run by right wing governments that include ultra right nationalists.
In Ukraine, the relationship with the Nazis past is complicated. Stepan Bandera is basically the George Washington of Ukraine. Most people in Ukraine believe that he was a true hero and all the stories about him working with the Nazis and being a fascist are just propaganda made up by the Soviet Union to discourage Ukrainian nationalism. Further, Ukrainians know that the Russians are triggered by Nazi symbols and see Nazi images, salutes, etc. as a way to flip Russia the bird. Most Ukrainians have relatives who lost immediate family in the Holodomor or were forcibly displaced by the Soviets during the great push for collectivization of farming and manufacturing. Most "ethnic Russians" (there really is no such thing) who live in the eastern part of Ukraine were brought there by the Soviets during collectivization to replace all the Ukrainians who had either been starved to death or sent to the gulags in Siberia for resisting Soviet rule. So, in Ukraine, Nazis are sort of an enemy of my enemy. But it is in no way a mainstream thing in Ukraine. It is more akin to people in the south in the US who have rebel/confederate flags.
The staircase was was hacked? Clearly. Hacked by Ukraine Nazis working in the mall. Ukraine is proud of their Nazi ideals. You'd have a point if Ukraine weren't actually a government sanctioned Nazi state endorsed by a jewish president:
A reminder to those arming Ukraine
On Nazi-affiliated Azov batallion, Zelensky: "They are what they are"
Hundreds of Nazi monuments and street names for Nazis in Ukraine? No hack there.
Ukraine has been institutionalizing the worship of racists who collaborated with the Nazis, slaughtering Jews and poles, for many decades. Ukrainians did it before the Nazis even existed during the Pogroms.
Nazi groups Azov Battalion, Aidar Battalion, C14, and National Front Zelensky folded into his govt... No hack there either.
That is a failure of logic. One could be in favor of killing invading soldiers without being a Nazi. Were the Afghans killing Russian invaders Nazis? Were Chechen and Georgian resisters to Russian soldiers Nazis?

Just let me know when Putin denazifies Russia… or is that his plan in the 30k Russian casualties and counting in Russia’s efforts to take Bakhmut?
"I'm a Nazi. I’m a Nazi,” said one of the men, Aleksei Milchakov, who was the main focus of the video published on a Russian nationalist YouTube channel. “I'm not going to go deep and say, I’m a nationalist, a patriot, an imperialist, and so forth. I’ll say it outright: I’m a Nazi.
Aside from being a notorious, avowed Nazi known for killing a puppy and posting bragging photographs about it on social media, Milchakov is the head of a Russian paramilitary group known as Rusich, which openly embraces Nazi symbolism and radical racist ideologies. The group, and Milchakov himself, have been credibly linked to atrocities in Ukraine and in Syria.
The Kremlin has claimed its war on Ukraine is aimed at “de-Nazifying” the country. What about the neo-Nazi groups actively fighting on the Russian side?

Still can't find the Russian government endorsing Nazis publicly and assimilating them into the Russian government like Zelensky has?
Here is Zelensky, A JEWISH PRESIDENT, giving thanks to Nazi worshippers IN FRONT OF MEDIA, in a neo-Nazi cemetery in Ukraine.
"Slava Ukraine! Heroyam Slava!" popularized by 🇺🇦 during the armed conflict with the 🇷🇺 comes from the 🇩🇪 Hitler's collaborators of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, who then created the 🇩🇪Nazi battalions Nachtigall, Roland, SS Gallizien Divisions#StopAntipolonism2023https://t.co/ZFWrqHU4Phpic.twitter.com/98T4lf6Flc
You mean to tell me a Jewish presidents was elected by a Nazi state? Brilliant!
Blah blah 'Nazi party votes' argument for the braindead. No other country has Nazi battalions officially in there ranks. We get new photos and videos every week of Ukraine Nazis, you actually have to be brain-dead to deny it. pic.twitter.com/SpfiaorG73
Yes, I'm sure a Polish politician and former journalist was informed in advance by whomever blew up NS. He also "made subsequent tweets, where he called the explosions a "special maintenance operation", alluding to the Russian government's euphemism for the war in Ukraine.[99]".
But, if the US blew up NS2, then all I can say is, "F*ck yeah! Suck it Russian Nazi dogs!"

I feel the same. Because of Nordstream, Russia is winning this war!
And their oil production is back to pre-war levels. Thanks to your Japan!! Russia is winning the economic war too.
fug yeah!!!! suck it Nazi state of Ukraine!
p.s. you do know that Nazis murdering unarmed Ukrainian civilians in the Donbas was illegal before Russia’s invasion was illegal
If america is already a failed state (because of endless / fake / proxy wars), How does sending billions to Ukraine help average americans in america?
Asked and answered. You’re just too dumb to understand the dozens of answers you’ve received. That’s a you problem.
p.s. How does sending billions to Ukraine help average Japanese in Japan?
p.p.s. Sorry to hear Japan’s new rocket is still a dismal failure. Billions of dollars wasted, nothing to show for it, and even if it didn’t get self-destructed, it’s ten years out of date. Is that failure because Japanese Universities universally suck? Or because Japanese wages universally suck? Or is it both?

Universal healthcare countries like Japan are not failed states like america. They have the financial freedom to do what they want as they have already taken care of their own people first.
Japan can do things like buy Russian oil... as much as they want. To help Russia beat your Nazis in Ukraine.

For every Russian Nazi in a militia, there are 10 Ukraine Nazis in their government's official armed forces.
They are pushed to the fringes in Russia and can only exist as paramilitary. In Ukraine, they are just normal people, in the regular military, and regular government positions:
