How many insugencies, color revolutions and outright wars are NATO and the US currently waging today? Eight or nine I believe. How many countries are victim to economic wars by the EU, World Bank and the Fed in 2022? About thirty. But the MSM has programmed half the country to believe the Russians are the baddies. As long as the brainwashing and conditioning continues, this empire is destined to fall to a has been, second tier nation.

NATO is a globalist military warmongering bureaucracy that should’ve been dismantled after 1991. It is now a threat to world peace.

Russia was never allied with Germany. They had a security pact in 1939. They were mortal enemies for the entirety of WW2

Latvia is acting just like BLM/antifa wrecking historical monuments, Soros probably has his claws in there too.

Except when they were invading Poland in a relationship, Stalin was shocked to find out that Hitler turned on him.

Russia was never allied with Germany.

Russia was Germany's largest trading partner while Germany was invading France and bombing Britain.

Latvia sent 87,000 volunteers to the SS in their own Division. So that monument probably really felt insulting to their grandpas.

Don’t just leave that hanging out there as though Latvia was a free nation minding its own business and for no particular reason 87,000 of its population felt they should join the Germans against Russia.

The E.U. does not operate today like NAZI Germany either.

Or so the Germans would have us believe.

Getting occupied is one thing, 87k joining the SS is another. Celebrating those 87k today is still another. Teasing that monument down was just pure hateful.

Then why did they wait until now to destroy it ?

The reason I found the other comparison flawed was the idea the the EU has
expanded farther than the NAZIs did.

I don’t see the comparison to be valid for anything other than a curiosity.

The NAZI holdings were due to captured and occupied territory.

The EU is a collective of sovereign nations that have chosen
alliance for economic cooperation. They sought to compete with
the US from a position of a comparative population base. “Clout”

If nations wish to form the same sort of alliances with Russia,
they are free to choose to, for national interest.

Attack, occupation, and annexation is not the same as the
EU model. It resembles the other model.

“Volunteering” was mandatory. They were conscripts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_Waffen_Grenadier_Division_of_the_SS_(1st_Estonian)#Post_war

>The US Displaced Persons Commission declared in September 1950 that: “The Baltic Waffen SS Units (Baltic Legions) are to be considered as separate and distinct in purpose, ideology, activities, and qualifications for membership from the German SS, and therefore the Commission holds them not to be a movement hostile to the government of the United States.”

“Stalin was shocked to find out that Hitler turned on him.”

Putin will probably be shocked when the Chinese communists turn on him.

There is no honor among thieves.

Another demonstration of how utterly disgraced Russia has become, under the control of sociopath Putin, and his mafia regime.

The Russian brand has been trashed, along with its economy and military.
