FFS Putin is a brutal dictator, but he is not a Nazi. I have no idea what your background is. I live in Europe. My wife's parents were in bunkers while the REAL Nazis bombed their country. My wife's grandfather was sent to Buchenwald. What real Nazis did is so far removed from what the Russians are doing that you dilute what the word "Nazi" actually means.

There are Nazis in Ukraine. They are part of the Ukrainian military, brought in to have a fanatical fighting force willing to attack their own people in the Donbas from 2014-2022. They are good at that. They are a VERY potent fighting force. You can recognized them as Nazis pretty fucking easily, as they have Swastika tatoos, badges and flags. Wolfsangel flags and badges. "88" is common. "Heil Hilter" salutes are common. Those are real fucking Nazis. Stop calling Putin a Nazi. He's not.

Hopefully soon this horrible war will be over. It will be that much harder bringing war criminals to justice when people call everyone they don't like a Nazi.
