    Are you suggesting the Times of Israel was pushing Russian propaganda ...in 2014?

    I'm suggesting that the only reason any of us are even talking about Bandera today is because a bunch of imperialists and fascists in Russia want us to, because they've made it part of their false justification for invading and annexing Ukrainian land and attempting to destroy Ukraine as an independent nation entirely, the same kind of **** Nazi Germany attempted to do in Poland and elsewhere.

    The only way that's true is if culturally Western publications like the Times of Israel were pushing propaganda for "a bunch of imperialists and fascists in Russia" ...which sounds unlikely without some corroborating evidence. It sounds MORE like Ukraine has a complicated history with Nazis and the holocaust that it would prefer to simplify and NOT talk about. ...which IS of course, the case.

    It's simply not an issue. The country has been invaded under false pretenses by a fascist, imperialist nation next door that is attempting to destroy it and take over its territory for itself. The Times of Israel article is not attempting to justify this war. It's just an article author complaining about Bandera and how he is regarded in modern Ukraine. Neither he nor some far-right minority in Ukraine justifies this war, so what is there to discuss? Especially in a thread about this war?

    I agree its not a justification for invasion.

    ...it just begs the question, why so much resistance to acknowledging history?

    What DOES need to be discussed is: how to best END the war. Its possible that an acknowledgement that Russia has an unreasonable but perhaps justifiable fear of nazis might play a part in that discussion, given their history with Nazism. As much as Jews have an understandable worry about Nazism flaring back up (even when it really isn't), so do Russians. And yet, we funded for quite a long time the armament of known neo-Nazi groups on its border. We wouldn't have done that to, say, Israel. It doesn't mean Russia was right in invading ...but it is an indication that perhaps funding neo-Nazis in Ukraine was meant to antagonize Russia into invading anyway. If we can't have such discussions, it makes it a lot harder (read: bloodier and disastrous) to END the war.

    If you keep tossing harmless spiders at someone who has arachnophobia, they would still be wrong in shooting you for it, but its still also true you were asking for some sort of response, and an indication that you arent going to do that anymore may be required to end hostilities.

    Putin put this guy in charge of Roscosmos:

    These guys are marching around in Russia without a problem:

    Alleged Russian fears of Nazis ring hollow in light of the facts. I stand by what I've already said -- it's a flimsy excuse to try and justify this invasion. It's not a legitimate concern on their part, just part of the propaganda put out by the Kremlin. It's no more worthy of consideration or discussion than the bullshit the German Nazis were putting out about the Jews or the Poles or anyone else back in the day.

    And good question indeed for Durandal -- what is with the propaganda effort to hide the Azov Nazi's shady past from the public. Persecuting, torturing, killing, raping the Ethnic Russians with the aid of the State of Ukraine .. implementing cultural Genocide .. leading to a civil war in which Azov Atrocities greatly increased.. including the use of cluster bombs in civilian areas .. 14,000 dead civilians ..

    The minsk agreement was supposed to put a stop to the persecution 2014 .. Ukraine and Nato ignored the agreement. Instead USA built a huge army .. some 250,000 Strong .. well equiped .. well trained .. ready to go into the separatist Region when Russia stepped into the conflict .. with its special denazification operation.

    but that is just history .. what about this western propaganda effort Durandal .. why so much resistance to telling the Truth about history .. a big "Sin of Omission" :)

    Woe Friend .. your position must be hopelessly lost if all you can do is cry "Fiction" - without stating what this drastic fiction is.

    Tell us Durandal -- what is this fiction - have you finally found some propaganda in the Western Media ?

    Look Friend --- I could slap down a Bible and cry "All Fiction" - but that does not make my claim true.
    The Azov association with Bandara is in the "non Fiction" section of the Library - and the question to you was (is)
    Why is the Western media working overtime to omit this Story from the record durandal .. have you finally discovered some "Propaganda" for us ? Why is the media so desperate to spin .. and commit that old Sin of Omission ..

    That sin is on the propaganda list right Durandal ? been asking you for a definition for long time .. never did proffer one .. so is this sin in your definition ?

    Bible thumping is a fair comparison to what you do. You post silly falsehoods, act like they're true beyond dispute and talk down to anyone who tells you you're wrong. Very reminiscent of how Bible-thumping Christians try to "debate" things.

    Western media doesn't fixate on Russian lies and propaganda the way you do, Gifter.

    What do you personally think of my theory that the war in the Ukraine.....
    will very likely lead to the exposure of Hunter Biden......

    which could bring down Joe Biden......

    and greatly shift the political situation in the USA?

    Will the war in the Ukraine lead to the exposure of Hunter Biden and then....

    Your obsession with the Bidens is a product of Russian disinformation. Let it go.

    Stupid Hunter couldn't be any more "exposed" than he is already.

    My off the top of my head guess will be:
    Obama
    Hillary
    Soros and many, many, many others will go down once Hunter goes down.....

    because their corruption is all connected... and goes back years!

    You keep confusing the Trumps with the Bidens for some reason.

    Anyway, this is off topic. This thread is about ruZZia's great crimes against humanity in Ukraine, not ruZZia's disinformation targeting Democrats in their bid to boost Trump and stir up more unrest in America.

    An uninteresting propaganda image crafted and disseminated by Kremlin agents in support of their imperialist war of aggression and conquest.
