    Of all the people in that building, Zelenskyy should have been the first to understand what "fought against the USSR in WW2" means. As both President of Ukraine and a Jewish Ukrainian he should know that history very well. But he still clapped anyway.

    I hesitate to jump to calling Zelenskyy himself a Nazi sympathizer, even though his country and military is infested with them. But if he wasn't one, why tf would he clap?

      Zelenskyy had a small meeting with Hunka and Trudeau before the parliament meeting. He talked to Hunka and had a chance to ask him questions. He knew exactly that he was Waffen SS and a jew killer. He still applauded.

      What's he even supposed to do? Not applaud? His entire current project is a nazi junta, he can't condemn the beast he rides. He knew who Hunka was and he knows what he's doing and who his government and army is filled with.

      Were there any non-aligned partisans in Ukraine in WW2?

      What's he to do?

      If he surrenders to Russia, he gets got by the Nazis who feel betrayed. If he refuses to clap and pisses off the western governments who prop him and the war up, he loses funding and protection. His only option is to keep playing to NATO's tune until they get bored, and hope when they do that he's offered a rat line.
