-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This is just a continuation of the end of WWII, the West sees Nazis as the most rabid anti-Communist fighters, and these Nazi decedents see Russia as continuation of the USSR.
The west itself are Nazis, and the only issue they had with Nazi Germany was that the Germans tried to be in charge of their imperial project. They don't actually have any ideological differences with the Nazis. Just strategic disagreements, and disagreements on who gets to be in charge. So once they beat the Germans they had no problem folding the existing Nazi command into their own hierarchies.
There is a reason China refers to them more often as just the Germans than the Nazis. In the west its common to think of Nazi Germany, and Germany as different countries. They really aren't though. Much of the leadership of Nazi Germany carried over into Western Germany.
The West sees itself as the continuation of the Nazis. Most of Europe's elites have Nazi or Nazi collaborator ancestry and they still dream of doing to Russia what their grandfathers couldn't. The Nazis united Europe to wage a war of annihilation against the USSR. The NATO and the EU are nothing more than the ideological continuation of the Reich, this time under Anglo leadership, and just like the Nazis they see it as their holy mission to unite Europe under their hegemony and marshall its resources to destroy and colonize Russia. They have already succeeded in taking over large parts of the USSR. NATO eastward expansion is simply Operation Barbarossa 2.0.
