“Nazi” & “fascist” are synonymous in Russians’ collective memory. Putin undercuts Ukrainians w/ this smear since Ukraine dumped Russia in 2014. This language frames war in the same terms as Russia in WWII—its glory days—to justify an otherwise unthinkable war on a familial nation

Putin’s “denazification” is not only baseless. It’s deeply cynical propaganda exploiting the most traumatic memories of past war in order to get Russians to back this unthinkable war of aggression against a country that’s like family. It’s very manipulative & shameful.

MOSCOW (AP) — Shocked Russians turned out by the thousands Thursday to decry their country's invasion of Ukraine as emotional calls for protests grew on social media. Some 1,745 people in 54 Russian cities were detained, at least 957 of them in Moscow.
Wow Jewish president that speaks for itself on Palestine invasion puttin has the right to protect himself
You cant condemn Russia and support Israel. Both need to be condemned and sanctioned. Russia is invading Ukraine, Israel has already invaded and occupied Palestine conducting ethnic cleansing, Apartheid, settler colonization, killing civilians, jailing and killing children

On Ukranian white supremacism: A country & its peoples don't have to be 100% perfect in order to be entitled to safety & freedom from external aggression.
