The Soviets Stalin starved millions to death in Ukraine in the 1930’s then when the Nazis arrived a lot of Ukrainians chose to join their cause and the heritage of those times lives on in the modern day Ukrainian military forces.

If so, maybe BLMs have a point about slavery...or not?

And then Hitler turned on the Ukrainians.

[wardaddy]

Yes and that’s how they justified their actions working alongside Einsatzgruppen to slaughter 1 to 1.5 million Jews who were their fellow countrymen.

Jews the Ukrainians either killed themselves or helped find and murdered en masses in towns where the Jews lived

Ukrainian Jews needn’t be shipped back to Poland or Germany for liquidation.

You could simply kill families by the village on the spot and dump in mass graves and the Ukrainians had little to no truck with that because they associated Jews with Bolshies and the Holodomar

Imagine an American politician with say George Lincoln Rockwell pic in his office and his tags signifying Adolf Hitler and Heil Hitler ....

The Ukraine no question has a Nazi element that is tolerated ....Right Sector and Azov are but two....there are more

I’ll give him credit...he took the right deal with a division bearing down on his town

Btw....Uke behavior in WWII

The Lithuanians were worse towards Jews

“and the heritage of those times lives on in the modern day Ukrainian military forces.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lviv_pogroms_(1941)

Way too many of them were full on Jew hating holocaust players. Way too many of them were death camp guards.
And yeah, the heritage of nazi germany lives on in the Uke armed forces. Nothing to be proud of.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Ukraininans were also very enthusiastic concentration camp guards. But my only proof of that is an old Ukranian dude I did shots wih in some bar in Manhattan 40 years ago.

Tough place to live, tough place to grow up in. A place where your morals weren't just ideas, but shit you had to put into practice.
