'Paper of record' documents war far from 'goodies vs. baddies'

...

there's long been evidence of corruption in Ukraine, and one of the more disturbing factors has been evidence that some of its troops are wearing Nazi emblems on their uniforms.

...

New York Times, has conceded that's an issue.

...

The Times' own headline this week explained, "Nazi Symbols on Ukraine's Front Lines Highlight Thorny issue of History."

Of course, it is the Ukrainian military to whom Joe Biden has sent military equipment, as well as hundreds of millions of American taxpayer dollars.

...

This acknowledgement comes after literally years of primarily indy journalists and geopolitical commentators pointing out that yes indeed … Ukraine's military and paramilitary groups, especially those operating in the east since at least 2014, have a serious Nazi ideology problem."

The authors of the NYT report begin by expressing frustration over the optics of Nazi symbols being displayed so proudly on many Ukrainian soldiers' uniforms.

...

The report confirm some in news rooms actually have been deleting images because they contain Nazi imagery.

...

even NATO deleted an image of a Nazi-linked patch.

...

German public broadcaster ZDF showed video of Ukrainian soldiers with Nazi symbols on their helmets in its evening newscast

...Ukraine's Burisma company paid Hunter Biden $180,000 per month when Hunter had no oil or gas experience.

Maybe these are the White Supremacists Biden is always gassing about. His addled brain is so messed up he thought they were Americans.

In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Nazi Symbols on Ukraine’s Front Lines Highlight Thorny Issues of History, ransomnote wrote:

The zeepers fly into a rage when people ask why America is funding the Nazis in the Ukraine (military). They insist Putin=Hitler and the Ukraine is Putin's Holodomor - both assertions which I find insulting to genuine victims of same.

The MSM and various officials can't seem to keep the Ukranians from painting swastikas on tanks - once again they had to be told not to do so when soldiers went to Poland for tank training. The MSM does try to edit out any exposure of Nazi symbols.

The MSM went from condemming the neo Nazism in the Ukraine to suddenly portraying them as heroes.

 

FR's Ukrainian zealot contingent went nuts when I posted this Twitter picture of the head of their military wearing a bracelet with a swastika on it. First I was lectured that it was a 'Scandanaivian leaf motif' and then that the bracelet is readily available on Amazon and isn't what it looks like.

You know, if the Nazis saved my parents and grandparents from Russian Communists in World War II, i might be just as sympathetic to Nazi symbols also.

Golly, on the same evidence and reasoning taken as implicating Ukraine as Nazi tainted, since I have seen photos of bikers with Nazi swastika tats and decals on their Harleys, then Harley-Davidson must be a Nazi organization. And those Minnesota Vikings, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Oakland Raiders are clearly involved in piracy on the high seas.

The Russian Army and Air Force continue to use Soviet symbols. They even hoisted Soviet flags in some places.

So why should I care about what symbols the Ukrainians are using? To many Ukrainians the Banderites and the Nazi symbols they borrowed represent the only sustained resistance to Russian imperialism.

Get back to me when the Ukrainians start murdering, raping and looting like the Russian Army.

They are all Slavic, so a Jewish President is kosher.

Yes, that 2010 pic (American) is repulsive. But culturally there’s an embedded problem with Nazism throughout the Ukraine’s military - its leader was wearing a swastika on his bracelet in a Twitter photo I posted below. The two are not comparable, but both are unacceptable. The US knowingly supports the Ukrainian military which has Nazism at its core.

Ya Jewish in name only. What Jewish man marries a Christian woman and has all of his kids baptized and attending a Christian church?

….The US knowingly supports the Ukrainian military which has Nazism at its core.
———
The US Government knowingly supports Neo Nazis with US taxpayers money, and Nazis are imbedded fully into Zelensky’s government.

That reinforces my thoughts US’s pet Nazi nation will fail after suffering much loss, EXACTLY like the German population in WW2- the parallels are stunning if one was to study WW2’s Nazis.

Ukraines 1991-2023 RIP
