“Yet you seem bent on minimizing the Nazi resurgence in Croatia. Why might that be?”

I’m not bent on minimizing anything. We are talking about a Ustashe resurgence and not a Nazi resurgence. The Croatians are not Germans, nor were more than a few ever Nazis. The Ustashe had some similar views, and some horribly similar practices such as genocide, but also some very different views and practices. To call a Ustashe a Nazi is no more correct than to call a German Nazi a Croatian. I don’t assume the two groups were the same because they weren’t. Just because they were allies and shared some similar beliefs and practices makes them no more interchangeable 60 years later than saying the Soviets and Nazis were exactly interchangeable. Apparently this fact - irrefutable fact - has never occurred to you.

Thus, there is a Ustashe resurgence, in Croatia, and not a Nazi resurgence in Croatia. I do not confuse the two no matter how similar in some ways they appear. You make that mistake. I choose not to.

Maybe you should ask yourself why you are using a term for members of the National Socialist GERMAN Workers Party for a group of Croatians. Why aren’t you using the correct term?

Now, having said all of that, I should point out that your question is bogus to begin with. I have done exactly nothing to minimize any “Nazi resurgence” or Ustashe resurgence. One is happening. The other is not. I have correctly noted which one is NOT happening, and have correctly discussed the other - including its past sixty years ago as well as more recently.
