How Ukraine’s Jewish president Zelensky made peace with neo-Nazi paramilitaries on front lines of war with Russia
The Gray Zone ^ | March 4 2022 | ALEXANDER RUBINSTEIN AND MAX BLUMENTHAL

While Western media deploys Volodymyr Zelensky’s Jewish heritage to refute accusations of Nazi influence in Ukraine, the president has ceded to neo-Nazi forces and now depends on them as front line fighters. Back in October 2019, as the war in eastern Ukraine dragged on, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky traveled to Zolote, a town situated firmly in the “gray zone” of Donbas, where over 14,000 had been killed, mostly on the pro-Russian side. There, the president encountered the hardened veterans of extreme right paramilitary units keeping up the fight against separatists just a few miles away.

Elected on a platform of de-escalation of hostilities with Russia, Zelensky was determined to enforce the so-called Steinmeier Formula conceived by then-German Foreign Minister Walter Steinmeier which called for elections in the Russian-speaking regions of Donetsk and Lugansk.

The Russian military fights like what you would expect from a third world country. The Soviets appeared to be a paper tiger the whole time during the Cold War. Lend Lease Program helped them tremendously during the WW2, the United States provided the Soviet Union with more than 400,000 jeeps and trucks, 14,000 aircraft, 8,000 tractors and construction vehicles, and 13,000 battle tanks.

We're seeing Russian equipment break down in Ukraine, the Russians are so corrupt that they spent little money on their budget modernizing their Soviet era hardware so they went in with aging gear.

“Is it hard to believe that a Jew to whom being Jewish means nothing would make common cause with whatever non-Jewish culture he found himself in?”

Same as Soros did during WW2, when he worked with the Nazis.

“Why is FR becoming Russian propaganda machine?”

Feel free to use CNN as your source.

“Yes they are proud of the groups that fought alongside Hitler in WWII, but they did so because Hitler was then the only hope to free Ukraine from Stalin.”

They weren’t soldiers in the field. They were deep participants in the holocaust.

>> A bunch of Ukrainians working for a Jewish leader by definition can’t be Nazi

At best a likelihood, but certainly not a definitive condition.

“Maybe it’s because they are not actually Nazies, but simply Ukrainian nationalists?”

Not that it matters to some here, but Azov was considered a TERRORIST GROUP before they were ‘rehabilitated’ by the media after the Russians invaded. In fact, the media liked reporting on them, as they looked at it as making conservatives in the West look bad.

Here’s an article estimating their number to be 17,000.

“Why not inform yourself and read a lot? It’s fun. And you can increase your vocabulary.”

They’re forced to compartmentalize...too invested to be open to learning just who the leadership in Ukraine is corroborating with. They just can’t deal with it, so they have to call you the liar.

“A couple of years ago, the EU pronounced the Svoboda party to be a neo-Nazi organization, incompatible with European values. They appear to have a very small percentage of political support among voters, but nevertheless have been given influential positions throughout the government.”

You’re probably right in that the public isn’t too hot on them, but the problem is that they like to terrorize and kill Russians by the thousands, and unlike the US Administration, that bothers Putin.

Yes. Agree. And the politicians are too scared of them and venal too to do anything about it.

Forget it, Jake - it’s Ukraine town.

I thought there were no Nazis in Ukraine? Was Putin right?

I don’t have time to watch the youtube but I saw from a few comments it looked valuable. I have been posting articles and bits from here and there for days.

It’s clear to me what’s going on, and everything the media, talking heads and politicians are saying is bulls***.

Two battalions of them.

Supported by oligarchs until the Ukraine government started to.

They’ve been committing atrocities against Ukrainian citizens, esp. those who speak Russian, since at least 2014.

McCain and Graham are utterly complicit along with a bunch of others. Kerry’s, Bitem’s, Romney’s and Pelosi’s sons all have or had “board of director” positions in Burisma (may some were in different companies?) pulling huge $$$ for doing nothing. US aid $ to Ukraine went here and there and a good portion went to US politicians, a lot went to Soros NGOs.

THe article is making a big point of Zelensky being Jewish, which I consider 100% irrelevant. He’s obviously not a practicing Jew for one thing; for another he’s one of the most corrupt globalist puppets POS that can be imagined.

The Nazis in Ukraine don’t care, they’re not replicas of the German Third Reich style Nazis.
