Ukraine HAD a Nazi problem comprised of MAYBE 5000 militarised Nazis who had ELECTED political parties and a President looking the other way. Until 2019.
Between 2019 and 2022, Azov nazis dwindled to three figures, and the elected Nazis lost their seats. Zelenskyy actually went to Dinbas and ordered them to stand down.
Some of their parties were banned...
What’s that, you say, Comrade Skippy? Ukraine banned some Nazi political parties and was de-fusing things in Donvas?! Unacceptable! WE NEEDED THAT FALSE FLAG!!! Now what do we do?!
You know, it’s almost like Russia just wanted a war and couldn’t find a justification that wasn’t retarded.
It’s because of the Nazi... Er, that won’t fly. Defending democratic free and fair electi... Yes, that doesn’t sound like our MO. NATO! That’ll work... But we can’t have inconsistencies so we need to take on
Lithuania. Finland! They’re not in NATO but let’s scare them into joining and then invade. What about all our dough and klepto assets in the West? I know, let’s do something so naughty that it gets it all impounded and sanctioned, and then complain about how we’re the victims.

***This war is about OIL. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4050958/posts
The Russians weren’t even interested in eastern Ukraine until oil was found there. Their interest is simply in raping that country. Russia gets 60% of its revenues from oil exports. Europe gets 40% of their oil from Russia.
In 2012 massive oil and gas reserves were found in Crimea. Crimea signed a $10 billion exploration contracts with Shell and Chevron to develop the new found oil and gas fields. These oil and gas products would compete in Europe with Russia’s oil and gas, reducing Russia’s oil revenues, which we recall amount to 60% of their total GDP. Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, cancelling the contracts with Shell and Chevron.
But Ukraine still had massive reserves in, you guessed it, Donetsk and Luhansk, and other areas East of the Dnieper River. In 2019, Energy Secretary Rick Perry visited Ukraine, and soon after Ukraine awarded exploration contracts to a consortium of U.S. oil companies. Again, these oil reserves would compete in Europe with Russian oil, so Putin is invading Ukraine to shut down this latest attempt to extract Ukrainian oil and sell it in competition with Russian oil.
This explanation makes more sense to me than the “Putin feels threatened by NATO expansion” excuses for the invasion.

If the Ukes allow some small region in the west to be its own republic, but the OIL belongs to Ukraine, would Pootypoot allow that? Nope.
