Yes. There's a lot of them in the US here in WA, in spite of our overwhelmingly blue election results. So my guess is that the accusations of Svaboda's links to neo-nazis is at least somewhat true. Svoboda's results are pretty small ... nothing like Trump's share in our elections. But non-zero is infinitely greater than zero.
And given Nuland's encouragement that Yatseniuk talk to Tyahnybok four times per week added some smoke to the conspiracy theory. But for anyone with a shred of skeptical ability to accept Putin's "denazification" rhetoric is preposterous. That rhetoric is clear manipulative propaganda. If the "democracy" in Russia accepts that rhetoric, it's because they've been stripped of that skeptical ability. On 3/9/22 11:07, thompnicks...@gmail.com wrote:
Perhaps a bridge too far? I regret to say that there are SOME nazis in Ukraine. Evidence: an npr (?) reporter embedded with them. Perhaps not more than there are in the US, or Germany, at the moment. But they are there, they are, many of them battle hardened, and they are fighting on “our” side. For good or ill. I say this because eventually one of them will turn up on State TV in Moscow, and we have to be prepared for that.
