      Seriously, no sincere white supremacist genuinely thought Zelenskyy’s administration was sympathetic to their cause. Neo-Nazis are Putinists through and through.

        Which is fantastic because Putin’s public reasoning for the invasion is the de-nazification of Ukraine.

          Their evidence of Nazism was Ukranians asserting a separate identity and language from Russia. It’s tantamount to calling Native Americans Nazis for protesting forced assimilation.

            Sure. If you look past the fact that the Azov Brigade started off with tons of ideology and symbolism tied to neo Nazi crap.

            The parallel is a whole lot easier to draw than “calling Native Americans Nazis for protesting forced assimilation”. Being a neo Nazi group practically did Putin’s propaganda for him.
