    I think the first question you should ask yourself is why do you think Putin spreads propaganda, but the western media spreads the truth and facts?

      You’re definitely not living in Russia or in one of the neighbouring countries, bet.

        Not the person you responded to, but I’m in the US (which technically does have a border with Russia). At least in the state I grew up in, the education system definitely had anti-communist propaganda in the schools.

        You don’t have to support Russia, but you shouldn’t deny facts. It’s well-known that the Azov Battalion has Nazis prevalent.

          Not just azov, also aidar, tornado, the territorial defense units, the SBU, a shitload o UA soldiers run around with UPA patches, so them too…

          As I replied in somewhere else in this thread “There are right-wing cocksuckers in every army, in every nation. Weirdly enough fascists and nationalists love to join the army hmmmm”

          But let me rephrase “neighbouring countries” as ex-ussr countries. They’re all lining up to join Russia again.

            Sure, but you’re conveniently ignoring the issue of prevalence. As an extreme example, do you think the US military and Nazi Germany had the same amount of Nazis?

            They’re all lining up to join Russia again.

            Even Ukraine? Wouldn’t you think they’d embrace Putin with open arms then instead of bothering to fight back then?

              The part about everyone lining up to join Russia was sarcastic. No ex-ussr country wants to go back to how things were.

                “Soviet Union bad” So you’d rather those dirty subhuman asiatics stayed uncivilized and barbaric instead of becoming the second-strongest world power? Are we a little… afraid?

                You know nothing, it must be difficult as a 15 year old Western kid to think you can speak for Eastern Europeans.

                Best case scenario you’re Polish or Hungarian, and have guzzled stories from your fascist grandparents about the horrors of the Union.
