Why do they keep highlighting the nazis so much? Does Ukraine have a nazi problem? No one knows

        90% of Americans will literally only identify Hitler as a Nazi. They probably could not name a second person in the entire world who collaborated with the Nazis, and if you asked them, they'd probably say Stalin (or even Lenin, as in the new Kingsman movie).

        This is spectacle overtaking material reality in the stupidest way.

          90% of Americans will literally only identify Hitler as a Nazi.

          half of these will then tell you that he was "akchually left wing"

      I'm sure plenty of Southern mayors have Confederate portraits in their offices tbf.

    The portrait in background is of Ukraine's Hitler:

    This man deserves death

    I'm like 99% sure it's to empower these fucks back in the states. I'd be willing to bet this is access that's been arranged by CIA or someone with an agenda beyond just Ukraine.

    the producer or whoever knew exactly that it was necessary to blur out the background - but not so much that you can't make out who it is still in the portrait

    god damn

      I think it's the auto blur feature on Zoom. But anyone doing a report for a major station on Ukraine should know who Bandera is. They might have asked him to blur the background because they know that 90% of their viewers won't know that he's a Nazi because they've done a good job of not telling them.
