But I thought Putin’s whole invasion was about removing nazis from Ukraine.

[–] Aria@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Where's the contradiction? "Putin" is fighting Azov. Or they were, until Azov retreated behind conscripts.

(Russia's stated goals from the day of the invasion https://www.rt.com/russia/550466-putin-ukraine-opeartion-goals/ (Demilitarising Ukraine was the priority with denazifying as a secondary goal))

Aha, but Azov is very powerful neo-nazi movement. They and their allies may hold no political seats, but the only way to be sure is ~~full-scale invasion~~ special military operation. Will only be few ~~days~~ ~~weeks~~ ~~months~~ years

While I also dont think that denazification was the actual reason for the invasion, I dont understand your point. The us was backing the nazis and while they lost heavily in elections, because most ukrainians are not extremists, they were commiting crimes against the russian ethnicity ukrainians. Was it better to wait? Or to send even more weapons to the separatists? I'm not saying that the invasion was justified, I just dont get your take.

My point was that denazification was not the reason. So you agree with my only point and then extrapolated a bunch if other stuff.

[–] wellfill@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Where was there any extrapolation? I just didnt understand the need to downplay azov and the western-backed nazis. You also failed to actually react to my questions.

Those western-backed nazis, are they in the same room with you right now? If yes, could you kindly leave that room retract the fuck back to your glorious motherland? Thank you very much.
