What do NPR’s “scholars” think about Biden claim neo-nazis in the shape of white supremacists are America’s greatest threat?

You can still read the TRUTH regarding Ukranian Nazis, even by using Google Search, as long as you block out the past month or two when the propaganda and rewrites of history started flowing, in order to shape our opinion (and sadly it even works here).

Yeah just like the GOP, conservatives, and Jan 6 protestors are also Nazi’s.

The Propaganda is strongly accepted by the Q anon on FR.

There were several other extremist nationalist groups involved in the 2014 Maidan coup. Ukrainian governments have supported them (or looked the other way) for several years, particularly in Donbas.

Ukraine has had to fight the neoNazis too. Still having to. The USA State Department, DNC, Clinton, Soros all fund and advise the neoNazi groups in Ukraine and Georgia.

Watch “Ukraine On Fire” and especially “Revealing Ukraine.”

“Ukranian Nazis”

Could you provide the estimated number of Ukrainian Nazis ?

+ the Russian Nazis for comparison.

The scholars referred to in this article do not deny the existence of the Azov Detachment but say that the vast majority of Ukrainians do not support them. They even estimate that support for this organization number less than 2% of the country. It’s right there in the article itself.

I’ve seen 17,000 and 20,000 in the Azov outfit (many, perhaps most, of whom attack ethnic Russians for sport0. Not sure on Russia.

YEP, and to do that he has to bomb women and children in residential areas and hospitals with sick kids.

And what does the Zelensky government do about it? Does he encourage them? Do nothing? Or bring them to justice?

“RE: Vlad is liberating people from the neo-con NWO Nazis. Mein Gott ! YEP, and to do that he has to bomb women and children in residential areas and hospitals with sick kids.”

Pretty much EXACTLY what we did to Serbia during Kosovo (bombing civilians). Did you it bother you then? It sure didn’t seem to bother many Americans one bit, yet we were engaging in the same thing as now.

The difference: The media supporting the bombing of civilian targets in Serbia.

Golly, gee, ol godfather Joey, rarely misses an opportunity to bring up the theater put on by an Obama occupy Wall Street participant, bringing his paid for troupe in Charlottesville.. these freaks attempted to necklace the man Trump and his supporters as Nazis. Back under the reign of destruction of Obama, there were all manner of threads here on FR detailing the power and influence.. of Nazis in Ukraine, etc.

NPR is funded by government and rich people seeking attention for funding the political oligarchs latest propaganda

Certainly doesn’t bring them to justice, or Putin wouldn’t be demanding the elimination of those groups. But yes, those are his brownshirts, no different than the DNC using BLM and Antifa when it suits them to terrorize ethnic Russians. Just this factor was likely why Putin felt forced to go to Kiev, rather than just the Eastern territories.

The Russians can sleep peacefully knowing that Rachel Treisman would have ended up in a hole at Babi Yar at the hands of her Ukrainian pals in 1941...
