Zelensky supporters on Free Republic hardest hit.

[webheart]

Well this is interesting. Why do we come down on the side of the nazis? That should be a complete deal breaker.

[dfwgator]

Have you noticed, that our caps have actually got little pictures of skulls on them?

I ... I don't ...

Hans ... are we the baddies?

Let's see. We should be able to hold them at this point here. At least for a few hours.

Why skulls, though?

What?

Why skulls?

Well, maybe they are the skulls of our enemies.

Maybe. But is that how it comes across? It doesn't say next to the skull, you know ... "Yeah we killed him, but trust us, this guy was horrid."

Well no, but ...

I mean what a skull is making you think of? Death, cannibals, beheading ... ehm ... pirates.

Pirates are fun!

I didn't say we weren't fun. But fun or not, pirates are still the baddies.

I just can't think of anything good about a skull.

What about pure Aryan skull shape?

Even that is more usually depicted with the skin still on. Whereas the Allies ...

Oh, you haven't been listening to Allied propaganda. Of course they're gonna say we are the bad guys.

But they didn't get to design our uniforms. Their symbols are all, you know, quite nice. Stars, stripes, lions, sickles.

What's so good about a sickle?

Well, nothing. And obviously, if there's one thing we have learned in the last thousand miles of retreat, it's that Russian agriculture is in dire need of mechanization.

Tell me about it.

But you've gotta say, it's better than a skull. I mean, I really can't think of anything worse as a symbol than a skull.

A rat's anus?

Yeah, and if we were fighting an army marching under the banner of a rat's anus, I'd probably a lot less worry, Hans.

[No name given]

Indeed.

[Williams]

Nazi symbols are meaningless.

Their president is a JEW.

is that what nazis do with Jews?

where are the concentration camps?

Did they have elections? Yes.

Did they announce Ukrainians are the master race?

How stupid

[Right_Wing_Madman]

LOL! In year two of the war, the NYT is finally realizing there are Nazi elements in Ukraine.

So why publish this now? Why not continue to deny it like in year one? NYT may be bracing themselves for defeat: "Just as well that the Nazis in Ukraine went down..."

[Petrosius]

Why all this concern about supposed Nazi symbols but no one mentions the Soviet symbols that the Russians use openly?

[MeganC]

The worst Nazi symbol in this war is the Russian wolfsangel rune symbol (”Z”) on their vehicles.

You’re whining about that, too, right?

[freeandfreezing]

No, we are just seeing the recycling of old, stupid claims about soldiers who like young fighting men all over the world sometimes use images and symbols used by other not so wonderful groups.

All of the people that make these kinds of arguments would make the same arguments about US soldiers with a Confederate Flag, or the US soldiers holding the SS flag.

It is just another wave of Russian propaganda.

Or is the US military full of Nazis?

[dforest]

Yeah but but but....Zelensky is Jewish. /sarc

The west is about done with Ukraine. These articles are coming out of the woodwork.

[minnesota_bound]

The democrats support the nazi’s.

[Robert DeLong]

They don't care because they hate the Russian communists more, even though they helped defeat the Nazis. There is no reasoning with these people. I've found that out the hard way.

All they can say in reply is; Russian invaded Ukraine. Forget the 8 years they attacked Russian speaking Ukrainians in eastern Ukraine, which led to the invasion in the first place.

Then they get cute & clever and call us Putin supporters.

With this usurper president we have in office, I have more respect for Putin. He at least got into office because the people actually elected him. No one elected Joe or Kamala.
