      Libs: This is like WW2! Putler!!!!

      It actually is like WW2 if it spreads (like if Ukraine launched missiles at Iran/Syria like they offered, or if Ukraine invades Transnistria, or if a Polish-Baltic "peace keeping force" moves in to reinforce Lviv and Galicia, or if China invades Taiwan, or if the USA invades Mexico, or if Iran attacks Azerbaijan when it invades Armenia, or if Syria begins pushing out Turkey/NATO with active strikes, or lots of other potential sparks)

      Germany, Italy, Japan, Eastern European compradors vs. Russia, China, Korea, Cuba. Hmm. Hmmmmm.......

      The nazified liberals are trying to get the naive (but justifiably upset) liberals back under control, a whole-ass parliament clapping for a Waffen SS member was too much mask slip for the naive libs and now the scratched libs are trying to gaslight the normal ones into believing it never happened

        Yeah like, a good amount of libs on Reddit and Twitter and stuff are legit mad about this. Applauding an SS member proved to be a bridge too far for some of these people, which is very hopium for me. Hoping its the beginning of a radicalizing moment for some of them.

      Poland applied to extradite him. The liberals are waging a damage-limitation media campaign because they already know Canada is going to refuse this extradition and want to get ahead of that by getting people ready to handwave it.

      Trudeau even gave a non apology, so at the very least he understands how bad the optics are, but liberals refuse to take the L and dig their mass grave even deeper. And they will put you in it for embarrassing them.

    He is WAFFEN SS

    Literally the WORST part of the Nazi military outside of maybe the fucking Einsatzgruppen

    Tying him to a car and dragging him down a gravel road at high speed wouldn't be too harsh for him

      Germany is free falling into fascism again. They are also pretty much West Germany so they've already rehabilitated Nazis once.

    Volunteering to fight under the Nazi flag under one of the most notorious divisions, and then your own unit becoming even more notorious locally that your parent division becomes nervous: Not a Nazi

    Reluctantly invading Poland alongside the Nazis in order to stall a war of extermination against your country, only after pleading with the west to create a military alliance to fend off the Nazis and being rejected: 1000% Nazi forever and ever, there is no question about it. Literally Hitler. Literally worse than Hitler.

      That's what I don't get, right. The USSR tried to create alliances with the French and the British to address the German threat, but Stalin was basically ignored because Chamberlain and Lebrun were confident that Hitler couldn't possibly do anything bad (and they were making so much money so things were going well).

      Hitler's Master Plan literally involved the genocide of Eastern Slavs.

      How did that turn into "the USSR and Nazi Germany were collaborators?"

        They were also hoping that the Germans were able to quickly invade Russia and wipe everyone out and eliminating the communist menace.

          Is that an established motivation for the French/British stonewalling of Stalin? If so, then fuck... That puts things in an entirely different light. I thought that France and Britain were simply operating out of self-interest.

            I’m not sure about France. But the US and Britain were definitely waiting for the Nazis to take care of Russia and leave the rest of the west alone
