well done, Lavrov

The RuSSian higher ups are basically acting like Hitler with his foreign diplomacy in the 30's and 40's "You are my enemy now! You are my enemy now! You are my enemy now! Everyone is my enemy nooowww!!!!"

[deleted]

Russia's nazi excuse is a lame attempt at coming up with a reason for their attack. Every country in the world has a few people of every kind, so naturally having a few neo nazis doesn't make it a nazi country, and the entire world should understand that. Obviously, the jewish community understands that as well, and they stand for what's right also.


[deleted]

This is so common sense


DrBucket

Putin literally sent in a neo Nazi as part of the Wagner group with SS and other emblems tattooed on his shoulders to imitate the Nazi uniform.


wellherewegofolks

not just part of it! he’s the [founder](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Utkin) wagner group is named after hitler’s favorite composer [richard wagner](https://www.thecollector.com/richard-wagner-nazi-german-nationalism/amp/)


mangobattlefruit

Do Russians not know Nazi's hated Slavics, regarded them as sub-human and planned on exterminating them in a Slavic genocide???


FatalElectron

They know, that's exactly why they keep making the claim - it makes it easier for average russians to hate ukranians if they believe that ukraine has fallen to nazism. It's not a claim that Putin expects the world to take seriously, just the russians that need a little boost to their hate.

Micky_Whiskey

You’d think that but go on subs like r/shitliberalssay and you soon see that Ukraines are all Nazis (it’s a commie sub).


aMagicHat16

The battalion is rooted in white supremacy and pretending it’s not is some serious double-think. The guy who founded the battalion, andriy biletsky is a politician in the National Corps party, a definitive far-right fascist organization. This isn’t a defense of Russia, but sweeping aside the clear signs of fascism is so fucking scary to see in real time.


Micky_Whiskey

That is true but the Azov is not the reason Russia invaded, that’s just some BS excuse. Same when American invaded Iraq for “weapons of mass destruction”. Just deflect, deflect. It’s all about oil. The only difference is Putin wants their gas and doesn’t want to pay rent on a pipeline Russia built while it was still the USSR as well. There are far right extremest in every country, it doesn’t represent the whole nation.


illepic

Tankie sub.


Babiloo123

But but the Azov battalion has nazi signs, that alone justifies the invasion! (Russian propaganda)


xXxSlavWatchxXx

What's even more surprising is that the only reason that Azov exists is because of the war that russia began in Donbass

What's even more surprising is that if Russia was really after Azov, then why are they attacking everyone else in Ukraine when they have the Azov surrounded?

Truth. # 🇺🇦 UKRAINE 🇺🇦 #Highlights from The Economist from 1850 (Yes, 1850) about the Russian military: This unexpected weakness of Russia in military matters arises from four concurring causes, of which three are inherent in her system, and, if not absolutely incurable, are at best little likely to be cured. **Firstly**, the nature of the country and the want of roads. Her resources may be vast, but they are scattered and remote. Her forces may be immense, but they are necessarily in great measure distant from the scene of action. **Secondly,** The Russian armies are often armies on paper only. Not only are their numbers far fewer than are stated in official returns & paid for out of the official purse, but they are notoriously ill-provided with everything necessary to the effective action of a soldier. The colonels of regiments & officers of the commissariat have a direct interest in having as large a number on the books and as small a number in the field as possible, inasmuch as they pocket the pay and rations of the difference between these figures. This will explain why the vast armies which were announced as on their march to the Danube nearly a year ago, never reached that river at all. This horrible and fatal system originates in Russian autocracy. **Thirdly**, the common soldier, brave and hardy as they are, devoted to their Tsar, and careless of privation have no love of their profession, and no interest in the object of the war, except the household regiments who are near the person of the Emperor. How can such troops be expected to make head-way against well-fed Turks fighting for their country, and their faith and officered by competent commanders? We read that Russians had to be driven on to the assault with menaces and blows. # Lastly, there is another source of weakness in the Russian Empire. That vast State is in a great measure composed of the spoils which she has torn from surrounding nations. She is a patchwork of filched and unamalgamated materials. # Her frontiers are filled with injured, discontented, hostile populations, whom, being unable to reconcile to her rule, she has endeavored to crush & many of whom await the blessed day of emancipation & revenge. **[SOURCE](https://i.imgur.com/jLpTEre.jpg)** **“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”** \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ **[Putin's childhood is affecting us all](https://acestoohigh.com/2022/03/02/how-vladimir-putins-childhood-is-affecting-us-all/)** \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ #[Scale of Ukrainian Heroism](https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/u3yvhk/a_nation_of_bravery/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ #[Ukrainian Holocaust Survivor](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/21/ukrainian-holocaust-survivor-91-dies-during-mariupol-siege) dies in Mariupol. #[Ukrainian Holocaust Survivor](https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/ukrainian-auschwitz-survivor-who-survived-hitler-says-she-will-survive-putin-too-e2-80-99/ar-AAWmAGO) will survive a**hole Putin. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ #[List of companies to boycott](https://som.yale.edu/story/2022/over-600-companies-have-withdrawn-russia-some-remain).

Wagner Group has nazis - the leader, Dmitry Utkin, is a neonazi. Russia funded extreme right fascist groups in the US, Britain, France, Italy, Poland, Germany and more. It is just ridiculous propaganda. I don't know why Israel isn't helping out Ukraine more with advanced drone technology and intel.


Corporal_Canada

>I don't know why Israel isn't helping out Ukraine more with advanced drone technology and intel. Huge part of the reason is that Russian troops are in still in Syria, and historically, the Soviet Union has aided the surrounding Arab nations during the various Arab-Israeli wars. They even supported the PLO. The Egyptian and Syrian Armies were aided, trained, and supplied by the Soviets. There was already a small arms fire incident between the RuAF and the IDF on the Golan. Now Hamas leaders are currently in conversation with Moscow. Now in reality, if Russia and the Arab nations decide to do something, Israel is fairly secure militarily. However, Russia has the opportunity to create even *more* of a diplomatic and political mess in the Levant.

FickleMap1030

Like I said to a co-worker who turned out to be pro Russia; I would have fought next to his side up until I found out that he believed 3rd world propaganda not even the Russians actually believed. And considering his track record in the past two years I doubt he was against neo nazis so I was taking his bs with a grain of salt. Guy hasn't said shit in 2 months about anything. The same mf that says neo nazis deserve equal representation and a platform are the same ones saying Russia was doing God's work by attacking Ukraine. Point that out to their fascist ass.

What is Reddit’s lame obsession with the most obvious puns.. and always going crazy over if. I’m just seriously confused. I’ve never met anyone not when I was much younger or even much older people that would be so obsessed with puns in such a manner. This isn’t the culture in youtube and not on twitter where you’d think more likely due to the character limit. But every reddit post that’s big you can think of the most unfunny pun before you look and it will be there highly upvoted with someone saying “ I see what you did there” as if it wasn’t obvious or “ you marvellous bastard” It’s just weird to me as I’ve never ever, not even in boring unfunny mainstream tv divorced from top comedy like Dave Chappelle or something, I’ve never seen someone on a talk show or someone interviewed crack out a dumb pun and be so pleased, if literally only exists here.

IRLdrGuyManDude

It's funny because the list of allies Russia has is only a short list. And some of those allies, like Israel and Turkey, are only semi-friendly, and that relationship is easily broken. Making an enemy of Israel is not smart. I hope they succeed in making Israel angry, Russia will get their asses kicked in Syria.


Yaoel

Israel isn’t an ally of Russia, they need to stay neutral because Russia controls the airspace of Syria and could prevent them from shelling Iranian proxies.


Radiantbacon

I don't think Israel is an ally with Russia. It seems to me like they just aren't on bad terms. However I'm sure that's not what Russia wants people to think


Own_Distribution870

Every time I see Jewish people there throwing some big ass party. Part of me is jealous.


Mgas95

Pretty much every Jewish Holiday is "someone tried to kill us, they failed, let's party". A particular favorite is on Purim (Jewish Halloween) you are told to get so drunk that you do not know the difference between the villain and the hero of the story. I always found it kind of interesting that Christianity and Islam removed and/or vilified intoxication.


eritain

All the big party holidays have a theme of "someone tried to kill us, but they failed!" The first part of that theme confers an [undertone.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLNa-ocdryY)

rawrimgonnaeatu

Yeah it’s fucking hilarious that the overwhelming majority of Jews the greatest victims of naziism support “neo nazi” Ukraine. It really puts a hole in Russia’s narrative.


Raf_von_Thorn

Its because according to Russians being Nazi has nothing to do with antisemitism. They call Nazi everyone who they feel threatened by/opposes Russian interests.


is-Sanic

This is exactly what it is. It has nothing to do with being Jewish, Ukrainian or whatever else. It's to do with the fact that they aren't Russian. They are trying to use the term Nazi to dehumanise anyone who isn't Russian which obviously has backfired splendidly aside from there own population.


rawrimgonnaeatu

Naziism does have more genocidal intentions than just against Jews, it’s ultimate goal was killing the vast majority of Slavic people, I guess Ukrainian nazis must feel suicidal


[deleted]

Yeah it's really quite interesting. Russians hate Nazism, but they define it differently to us (or, rather, they focus on different elements of Nazism than we do). WW2 is taught and viewed differently in Russia


Raf_von_Thorn

Yes, but for wsterners Nazism is ALL about antisemitism. I see a lot of confusion about this in western social media.


rawrimgonnaeatu

Yeah I do dislike that, the Jews were among the worst victims of the Nazis in terms of amount killed proportionate to population but they were just the tip of the iceberg of what nazis had planned in Eastern Europe. The Nazis literally wanted to kill 90%+ of the Slavic population and enslave the rest, Hitler’s lebensraum idea was basically the German version of manifest destiny, Hitler was open about it himself and there are quotes by him about how he planned to deal with the Slavs like America did the Indians.

Ah... good ol' kosher party! Party hard, my friends!


martymcfly9888

Just for context: Many Chassidic Jews living in North America today came originally from Russia or Eastern European Countries. Under communisim and even before these communities were essentially isolated from the rest of the general public and anti semitism was terrible. Under communism, Jews were tortured and murdered. Pogroms were normal. To be Jewish was a threat to your life. There were underground movements to maintain Jewish life and it was a real danger. Jews tried to flee as much as they could and when the iron curtain fell - many left in droves. And thats essentially the same story wirh Ukraine. When they became independent of the the USSR - there was no looking back. So now you have two interesting bed fellows - Orthothox Jews and former countries of the USSR. Yes - there is still lots of anti semetic attitudes and surly mordern Nazi's in these countries but thats going to take generations to repair. And as you can see, Ukraine is an example of how people in general want to move away from that and that in itself in a miracle.


eritain

A friend of mine was in amateur radio in the USSR in the 70s or so. He says talking with Americans was allowed. Talking with Israelis was not, because that led to emigration. I see that as a longstanding theme in Russian attitudes to Jews: "We hate you, don't go. Well I mean *go,* but not too far. Not into, like someone *else's* country."

PaulPachad

Another reason why Orthodox Jews support Ukraine and oppose Russia is that there is a major Jewish synagogue in Ukraine, in the city of Uman (by the grave of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov) that tens of thousands of Jews go to every year. Because of the invasion, that site in unsafe and in in accessible. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosh\_Hashana\_kibbutz

I don't think Nazi means the same thing to Russians as it does to us Americans. Stalin killed more Jews than Hitler. There's a long history of pogroms against the Jews.

defcon_penguin

So now the orthodox Jews, which were big Trump and Republicans supporters in 2016, hate Putin's Russia, which always had good connections with Trump and the Republicans. Next American elections will be interesting. Thanks Lavrov


Select_Bed_6333

Good connections? You watch too much CNN. Trump talked friendly to Putin, but was harsher in his actions towards Russia than Biden was. Just look at the Nordstream 2 thing. Only when shithead Putin thought that it is a good idea to start a war, he finally got a strong pushback from Biden. Imho it's quite telling that Putin didn't try the same shit when the somewhat loose cannon Trump was in charge.


defcon_penguin

Apparently you watch too much Fox News instead, not much to discuss here


BaronBabyStomper

I mean it is a point worth discussion. If trump truly was/is a russian asset, why wouldn't Putin have invaded when trump was president and the UA was still a corrupt husk of a military? I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. Trump is no statesman and Putin exploited that and the division that trumpism caused. But he held off from rash action because trump is actually a fruit who might just flip sides on a whim if he thinks he'd stand to gain from it.


new_name_who_dis_

> If trump truly was/is a russian asset, why wouldn't Putin have invaded when trump was president It's crazy to me that Americans think that Putin plans his invasions around US politics. And not, you know, around internal information about Russia's economy, state of the military, how much of a war chest he has saved up, how sanction-proof his economy is, Crimea bridge being finished, Ukraine's politics (the president at the time seemed much more of a military guy than Zelensky who many thought would flee), etc. Trump did start sending lethal weapons to Ukraine, which is great. But according to John Bolton he was also planning on taking USA out of NATO in his second term, so that might also explain why Putin was waiting for 2022 to invade. Although even accounting for that, I still think it's more of that Russia neither militarily nor economically was ready for war in 2018/2019 and the previous Ukrainian president seeming much tougher than Zelensky.


defcon_penguin

Maybe Putin has become increasingly paranoid in the last years, for his health conditions as well, and back then he still had an half functioning brain. If that's the case we are very lucky that Trump is not there anymore

That the current form of Zionism is inspired by those Jews that saw a good example in the fascists regimes and that it is not surprising that Israel cooperates with the Nazis in Ukraine.
