I've been seeing a pretty big wave of Nazi apologists on the left lately. It feels like now that everyone knows we've been arming Nazis in Ukraine they moved from denying it to saying Nazis weren't all that bad.
Imo, Putin is more analogous to GW Bush with the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. Can you make a claim for how Putin is worse than even Bush in this regard?

- xdennis 5y agoUkraine has one battalion with about 10-20% nazi associations. That's it. They have zero seats in parliament and no political influence. No one is saying nazis aren't bad. But so long as they're killing invaders, it's an acceptable evil.
- mushbino 5y agoThis is what I'm saying. People saying Nazis are okay as long as they're killing people I'm told to hate. I've spent lots of time in Ukraine and Ukrainian is my 3rd language. I have many friends there, but unfortunately I couldn't take my ex there to visit because she's black and it would be an issue. Their former president Yushchenko declared a famous Nazi as a national hero. It's most certainly an issue there.

This is not to mention C14 or the свобода (Svoboda) political party aside from the Azov battalion. They have an outsized influence in Ukrainian politics. This is one of the main reasons why they won't concede on NATO membership to end the war, US interests aside.
