I've been to Ukraine. I have friends in Ukraine. I don't find it ridiculous, even if I never was accosted by Ukrainian Nazis.

Why don't I find it ridiculous? Because in the years before Russia's horrible invasion, mainstream western media talked openly about Ukraine's Nazi problem. There is even a law on the books that makes it illegal for the US to fund specifically the Azov Battalian. Why? Because the US congress agreed we shouldn't be funding Nazis, and the Azov Battalian are Nazis.

Since Russia's invastion, the US congress has forgotten about that law. Western media has softend "Nazi" and "Neo-Nazi" to "Far right" when describing exactly the same people and groups.

Do I think the Nazis contol all of Ukraine? No. THAT would be ridiculous. Do I think the Nazis have a hugely disprpoportionate amount of power in the Ukrainian National government. Yes, I do. It is documented fact, not opinion.
