    Obligatory reminder that when Polish envoy Jan Karski presented evidence of holocaust to British and US government and societal elites during his mission in 1942 and 1943 he was basically ignored.

        And it’s a weird choice too because there are better comparisons that can be made with current world events.

      Additional reminder that Hitler’s invasion of Europe was tolerated by the major powers riiiiight up until he invaded one of the “countries that actually matter”.

      Additional additional reminder that the major powers initially PRAISED Hitler for killing all the communists.

          Yes just as every other nazi country deserves it (and it was in 2022). Too bad it couldn’t be done by communists, but somebody worked very hard to destroy the socialist state, the same somebody who promoted nazis in Ukraine. And the same somebody mentioned by @HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml. The same which was imitated in racist, expansionists, genocidal doctrines by nazi Germany. So many coincidences here…

              Indeed, 2014 is when the US invaded Ukraine and did as it always does and looked for the biggest Nazis they could find (Sbovoda in this case) to bankroll them

                A factually incorrect statement. Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014.

                    even the Cato institute acknowledges the US was responsible for instigating the conflict.

                    Am supposed to trust owner class funded rag on this issue?

                    Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. Saying that US is responsible for the war is disingenuous. 2022 invasion clearly exposed Russian geopolitical posture vis-a-vis Ukraine.

                    Only brain dead propagandist and poorly educated plebs still larping these clown theories. Tim Pool was confirmed paid by Russia for spreading this trash lol

                  After the 2014 US-backed coup, several eastern Ukrainian provinces declared independence from the Ukrainian state, which they saw as illegitimate, including Crimea. Crimea wasn’t invaded by Russia, it invited Russia. Which seems to have been the right move, in retrospect, because Crimea didn’t suffer almost a decade of fascist paramilitary attacks like their neighbors to the north.

                    Screaming about a US backed coup does nothing but illustrate yourself as a brainless parrot of internet propaganda. No one who ever says these things ever considered the fact that the ukrainian people were furious with the hopelessly corrupt ukrainian government that was at the time, a Russian mafia puppet.

                    But as soon as the Ukrainians kick out the mafia. And the Russians cry about it. Suddenly it’s a US Nazi coup. Do you even listen to yourself

                    Imagine Putin put congressmen in Canada to take pictures with anti-Trudeau protesters who then forced him out, and were replaced with a French Canadian guy who was talking about how the English speakers are filthy infiltrators or some shit like that, and then they started talking about joining a Russian, explicitly anti-US coallition and putting nukes in the border.

                    Ontario and Vancouver would probably declare him illegitimate and secede immediately and they’d be correct to do so. Look at what Ukraine did to Donbas for 6 years, and how their Nazis had pogroms of romani people with full impunity, look at how they talked about ethnic Russians.

                    Fascists (and especially the US) love nothing more than throwing stones and hiding the hand and dumbass libs eat it up.

        additional reminder that when the allies liberated the concentration camps, they put everyone with a pink triangle back.
