Neo-Nazis in Ukraine Might be a Problem After All, Says New York Times
Breitbart ^ | 06/05/2023 | OLIVER JJ LANE

Posted on 06/05/2023 11:45:39 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The West is stuck in a dead-end where calling attention to Ukrainian soldiers wearing neo-Nazi uniforms “risks playing into Russian propaganda”, but ignoring it normalises the practice, the New York Times has belatedly admitted.

A story which appears to break an important wartime media shibboleth that any critical examination of Ukraine is implicit support for Russia has been published in the New York Times, as it discusses the difficulties of Ukraine’s neo-Nazi-symbol-wearing frontline fighters.

Shut up and sent them more F-16s and Abrams Tanks. We’ll sort out the Nazi problem after the Russkis are defeated...

Nice to have some vindication especially from a rag like the NYT. Nazis in Ukraine have been disregarded as a conspiracy theory.

Put cuddling up to actual Communists is a good idea right? Because that’s what you get with Putin and Xi. Not to say that Zelenski is clean, he isn’t. But allying with Putin (who has Lenin on display right next to his residence) is just stupid.

Same thing as a neo-con.

Everyone knows about the Ukie Neo Nazis ( the US pet Nazis), from the Poles to
the Germans,from Russia to our own US Congress.

Problem is their hatred for Russia ( from Trumps time) has blinded them. Hate does that to people….which assures me Vlad eventually wins. Bodes not well for the US and collective West. They already have to much blood on their hands- the “ Reckoning “ is inevitable.

Russo-Nazis in the Kremlin are a much bigger problem.

Sounds good to me. It should have been that way from the beginning (2013/2014).

Israel, Germany, and Poland — who know far more more about Nazis than Americans — have dismissed the “Ukrainian Nazis” claims as overblown and essentially irrelevant to support for Ukraine against Russia. In context, it is a little like calling local Harley-Davidson dealerships Nazi outposts because some Harley driving bikers affect Nazi tats and decals in order to look fearsome.

Someone who sits at a keyboard and demands that other people fight and pay money to support the Ukraine. But does nothing himself.

The entire Ukraine war has been defined by a one sided narrative.

You have Russian media censored, and our government is allowing Ukrainian Information Operations free reign in the West. Our media is entirely biased and one sided because they are no more than the cheerleader for the big corporations and oligarchs in this country, and all of them wanted this war. Since the EU is on board as well (big business and government), you get absolutely nothing that contradicts the Russia = evil and wrong, Ukraine = good and right narrative.

Listening to the Western media today reminds me of the Wochenschau: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVKRweA-1ZE
