Like their Baltic-Nazi neighbors, Poland is too scared to step onto the battlefield in Ukraine, so they shake their fist from a safe distance.

Where do you get off, maligning our staunch Polish allies?

If anyone in the current scenario should be described as a "Nazi," it's Putin.

--- "...to step onto the battlefield in Ukraine, so they shake their fist from a safe distance."

One observes, without reliance on words of rancor, that these last few years of war between non-NATO Ukraine and non-NATO Russia have involved much "safe distance" assistance and plenty of rhetoric.

What is demonstrably known is that none from the EU member-state nations have marched their uniformed troops into the ongoing land battle between the combatants. Like Macron and some UK generals, there has been talk but no "walk."

As to "Nazi" talk, historically, segments in many non-German nations participated alongside the National Socialists, including those nice Vichy in France, and many more. For this, in all those nations, there were also resistance movements which proved successful in the end. This does not mean there is not NAZI nostalgia ongoing in many nations today. The Bandera movement is a part of the historical mix, of course, but it becomes politically inconvenient to mention that these days.

If one is interested in the Baltic republics of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, a part of this very complex, messy world is documented:

Wartime collaboration in the Baltic states Wiki

Are Russia and Ukraine -- and others -- not only participants in the war, but also contributors toe the war? Indeed. A look to the actual signers of the Minsk accords shows how complex the whole is, including those Ukrainian "separatists." So, some want to "white hat, black hat" this complex mess. It's the easy way around a complex problem, and it solves nothing.
