The SS recruited well in Ukraine. When Poland was taken by Russia in 39, so was Ukraine. The Germans had no beef with Ukrainian people and they both shared a common enemy, the bolshaviks.
When Putin talks about the Nazis in Ukraine, he’s actually not wrong. But some ideas are so far out of scope (the paradigm) that you need time for people and a learning curve to catch up before you can even mention it.
Likewise Ukraine is not a democracy, you don’t have free speech there, or a rule of law... So many of these higher moral causes that are mentioned as justifications for our intervention on the side of Ukraine are just BS.
But it will take time... There was such an onslaught of one sided reporting early on that you now have a “perception” that was created.
Most Americans didn’t even know where Ukraine was on a map until this conflict. All we know is from a media that has an agenda. It seems war is America’s geography teacher.
Hunter Biden was very familiar with Ukraine long before this war broke out.
“Likewise Ukraine is not a democracy”
This is only true of the portions of Ukraine occupied by the Russians.
The part of Ukraine that remains under Ukrainian control is normally governed by a parliamentary government and the members of that parliament are elected by popular vote in their various districts.
