Ukraine told critics of the pace of its three-month-old counteroffensive to "shut up" on Thursday, the sharpest signal yet of Kyiv's frustration at leaks from Western officials that say its forces are advancing too slowly.
Now if Hitler, or one of his generals, said that the Poles didn't attack after all, what would you think of that? Might you take it as an admission that the Nazis had lied?
I concede that, if we live in your counterfactual reality where Hitler did the exact opposite of what he actually did, you'd have a point.
I know what you're trying to say but i think you're trying to stretch reality to fit your comparison instead of trying to make an accurate comparison around reality.
Maybe you should look for other real world examples that would fit your comparison better. I bet there are plenty of examples of nazis in nations fighting the nazis doing genocide denial during ww2 that you could find.
I mean I kinda thought of Hitler and him being a cake-eating vegetarian and then had to improvise afterwards. I did try to pedal back a bit and say "or one of his generals".
Oh and it wasn't just Nazis who denied the holocaust back then. There was an IIRC French historian I can't recall the name who went in there not believing such a thing possible, then saw concentration camps with his own eyes, and went on to compile a minimum number, with the intent that if you say a lower one, you're definitely denying because the number is unassailable, as a minimum (but probably higher. Most definitely probably higher, in fact). Threw out e.g. SS reports because they could be claimed to be fabricated to get a promotion and shit.
I mean hexbears are otherwise so willing to take Russian sources at face value, e.g. when it comes to claims about Russian speakers getting supposedly oppressed and genocided by the Ukrainian state... then why not trust Pregozhin? What makes him less trustworthy than Solovyov?
I can’t speak for everyone, but I definitely don’t find Russian media particularly trustworthy, we like to do a little thing called critical thinking instead of just blindly accepting things
So you agree with fascist mercenaries? Cool to know.
I also think cake tastes good which aligns me straight with Hitler.
Okay but people shouldn't take you seriously on cake if your argument is "Hitler agrees with my take on cake"
How about me agreeing with Hitler on "Poland didn't attack Germany"?
Hitler literally claimed that Poland attacked german soldiers.

Yes. You're getting close.

Yeah, it's fucked up.
Also, thanks for engaging in good faith.
Well in this case it's more like even Hitler said "the jews weren't so bad at all"
Wouldn't it more be equivalent to Henry Ford or Hearst press during ww2 claiming that the nazis weren't brutalizing black and Jewish soldiers?
Nazi public figure claims nazis in enemy country aren't doing bad thing.
You didn’t need to cite hitler as the cake lover, could have picked anyone else
You didn’t have to pick the fascist mercenary army leader to agree with you on the other one, either. Yet you did for some reason
Is this supposed to prove anything but you have no scruples?
