Sure, Putin inviting enemies of the US to Moscow THIS YEAR like Stalin did in 1941, is completely different. Okay

You damn will if this guy said a word the Zelensky regime disagreed with, he’d be arrested and his church torn down.
"Former soldiers of the Galicia Division – approximately 8,500 Ukrainians who, during the Second World War, fought in the ranks of the Galicia Division (see below) formed as part of the German armed forces, and who were transferred to the United Kingdom after the war. Former soldiers of the Galicia Division at the Hallmuir POW camp near Lockerbie, Scotland. 1948. In May 1945, when Germany surrendered to the Allied Powers, the Galicia Division was based in Austria. Retreating westwards to avoid capture by the advancing Soviet Red Army, most of its members (about 10,000) surrendered to the British Army and were temporarily interned near Spittal. The Soviet authorities claimed that the Ukrainian members of the division were Soviet citizens and demanded their repatriation to the USSR on the basis of an agreement reached at the Yalta Conference in February 1945. The British government’s position, however, was that the agreement only applied to persons who were Soviet citizens before September 1939, and therefore did not apply to the majority of the division's members, who were originally from pre-war Polish-ruled Galicia. Only the relatively small number of those who came from the pre-war USSR were subject to the agreement, but even in these cases the British government was reluctant to enforce repatriation."This mess is far, far more complex than the "there are only two sides" proponents would have it.Source: Ukrainians in the United Kingdom Online encyclopaedia
"A top commander of a Nazi SS-led unit accused of burning villages filled with women and children lied to American immigration officials to get into the United States and has been living in Minnesota since shortly after World War II, according to evidence uncovered by The Associated Press. Michael Karkoc, 94, told American authorities in 1949 that he had performed no military service during World War II, concealing his work as an officer and founding member of the SS-led Ukrainian Self Defense Legion and later as an officer in the SS Galician Division, according to records obtained by the AP through a Freedom of Information Act request. The Galician Division and a Ukrainian nationalist organization he served in were both on a secret American government blacklist of organizations whose members were forbidden from entering the United States at the time."

Putin trash never supported Trump, the USA or freedom.
They are still upset their candidate, Kamala, lost. But of course they will deny it.
LOL, the "epicenter of neo-Nazism" elects a Jewish President of Ukraine and has BOTH chief rabbis of Ukraine announcing their support of the Ukraine government and military.
LOL...
Sure, like the Chief Rabbi of Moscow, who had to flee Russia when he would not support Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
I Was Moscow’s Chief Rabbi. Russia Forced Me to Flee.
Putin claims he’s fighting Nazis in Ukraine while his regime intimidates Jews in Russia.
No. While I undoubtedly would have ended up in jail had I stayed, I left primarily for the safety of the community. I was in Russia for 33 years, and I served as chief rabbi of Moscow for 29 of them. I was reelected a week before I left, but I understood that due to the KGB’s successor, the FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation), which controls every aspect of life in Russia, I would be putting the community in a very dangerous and untenable position by staying in the country. I felt that I couldn’t endanger the community, and that I had to give up my position.

In case you missed it, the Soviet Union and Stalin are past history an nobody supports the bad stuff Stalin did. You on the other hand support Nazis in real time.
HistoryPorn The German delegation at the parade on May 1, 1941 (Moscow) [1763x998]So looking further:
"On May 1, 1941, Nazi German officials were present in Moscow's Red Square to participate in the Soviet Union's annual May Day parade. At the time, the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany were allies, having divided Europe between themselves following the invasion of Poland. This alliance lasted until June 1941, when Nazi Germany launched its invasion of the Soviet Union less than two months after the parade. The presence of Nazi representatives at the parade reflects the temporary cooperation between the two regimes before hostilities began."For those who wish to argue 1941 is wholly like 2025, it still remains an extraordinarily complex mess. Living in yesterday does not always inform for today when one speaks of the details of history."...Stalin clung to an optimistic view of the situation between the Soviet Union and Germany, despite knowing that war was largely inevitable. He continued to believe that Germany would not attack the Soviet Union in the short term, but rather extort them for supplies and materiel to continue the fight against Britain. This may explain why Germany and the Soviet Union concluded a massive trade deal in January 1941, in which the latter sent food and grains to Germany, as well as exchanging industrial raw materials and oil for industrial equipment (Associated Press, Jan. 11, 1941)
"Such a scenario would allow the Soviet Union more time to reform the Red Army and whip it into fighting shape, but the odds of this were growing slimmer each day (Braithwaite 2007, 54). By October, 1940, “two-thirds of Germany's infantry and mechanised divisions were now deployed against the Soviet Union,” and both internal and external reports indicated Germany was preparing for a major assault on the Soviet Union (Braithwaite 2007, 54-55)." more...

Russia: The Continuing Rehabilitation of Stalin
Can you imagine a “respectable” party in Germany putting up “Hitler centers” around the country?
And yet, as the Daily Telegraph’s James Kilner explains, that’s tantamount to what’s underway in Russia:
“Stalin centres” are popping up across Russia as Vladimir Putin tries to rehabilitate the reputation of the Soviet dictator.
The centres are being built in Russia’s biggest cities to reposition Joseph Stalin as “a great man of history” and boost support for Putin’s war in Ukraine.
In mid-December, at the opening of Russia’s second Stalin Centre in the city of Barnaul in Altai, Sergei Matasov, the regional Communist Party leader, credited Stalin with modernising the world during his 1924-53 rule over the Soviet Union.
“Stalin’s economy, Stalin’s politics, Stalin’s culture gave the whole world an impetus forward. Such a sharp, qualitative leap,” he said.
The Communist Party, an opposition party that works within parameters set by the Kremlin, opened its first Stalin Centre in 2023, near Nizhny Novgorod. Like the Barnaul project, it aims to inspire visitors with its collection of Stalin photos, speeches, busts and other trinkets.
The Kremlin is welcoming the renewed praise of Stalin . . .
“They say that they are fighting Nazis now in Ukraine, the Great Patriotic War 2.0, as it were. So Stalin being the man who defeated Nazism is a good image for the regime,” said Dr Stephen Hall, an associate professor of Russian politics at Bath University.
Putin praised Stalin as a “great man” in a speech to mark Russian nationhood in 2022 and in 2016 Vladimir Medinsky, then the culture minister but now a presidential adviser, travelled to the Tver region, north of Moscow, for the unveiling of a monument to Stalin.
According to an analysis carried out by the Tochka website, of the 110 monuments to Stalin currently in Russia, 37 were erected after Putin became president on New Year’s Eve 1999.

LOL, sure, meeting someone for negotiations is just like hugging a North Korean ally. Okay
It would be informative for you to provide ANY link to a US government source which defines ANY nation currently as an "enemy" of the United States.
Lots of opinions. Lots of rivals. Lots of competitors. Lots of people we don't officially like or ally with. But the Trump-Vance administration has not detailed any nation today as an open enemy of this nation.
Gallup and other polls like Visual Capitalist and their kin love to ask / opine who are our enemies. Lots of views have lots of answers. But OFFICIALLY who is our enemy, according to the Trump-Vance administration?
A way forward is trade -- from tariffs to sanctions -- and another is diplomacy -- contact and more, But OFFICALLY name an "enemy," and war must result. Not can. Must.

As stated in this thread: "It's one thing to want peace, however, and quite another to get it."
Hello Puffer 🤣
tlolzo
Seinfeld did a episode about him
Russia’s collusion with the Nazis lasted less than two years. Hitler invaded Russia the next month after the military parade you cite, and that ended that. Whereas, Ukraine had Nazi SS units throughout the whole war.
Ukrainian court rules SS division's symbols are not Nazi
"The ruling has been praised by the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory, which operates under Ukraine's cabinet of ministers, and has long claimed the unit's fighters were not actual Nazi collaborators, but merely 'freedom fighters.' "
Not Nazis, my ass.
