Turns out that there is now a German arrest warrant out for a Ukrainian diving instructor who is thought to have helped blow up Nordstream. And 2 other Ukrainian diving instructors are people of interest.
Of course, the Guardian being the Guardian has to say
It remains a mystery who was behind the explosions that destroyed three out of four pipelines, which became a symbol of German reliance on gas from Russia after its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and Russia and the west have accused one another of being responsible. Each has denied involvement.
No, no it does not. I've yet to hear one valid reason from anyone as to why Putin would sabotage the pipelines when he can (and I believe did) just turn them off. And now there's an arrest warrant for one Ukrainian, at least 2 more are being investigated and you STILL say "oh, we don't know who did it?"
"Nazi", in the context of Eastern Europe does not have the same meaning as it does in the West. In Russia (and Ukraine) it doesn't mean anti-jewish or even "white supremacist" - it means anti -russian.
Indeed the actual German Nazis didn't consider Slavs to be "white", and by official estimates exterminated twice as many Slavs as Jews (even counting Jewish Slavs as Jewish only). Indeed much of Europe was not considered "white" by older standards - especially not Italians and Spanish. For that matter , they considered the Turks to be a superior race and they aren't/weren't white.
I don't mean this to be a "well achtchuallly.." post. You should consider:
Most westerners won't believe Ukrainians are Nazis working for a Jewish president, as in Western frame Nazi just means "someone who hates Jews".
These Ukrainian "Nazis" aren't really pro-racial supremacists as they are anti-russian.
Racial supremacy isn't the only thing Americans have against Nazis. Also just the enemy thing.
I think "enemy" is too strong a word really. Id say "competitor". If they were truly enemies they wouldn't have taken all their scientists in Operation Paperclip.
Opposing belligerents in the war.
counterpoint
They exterminated the Slavs en masse. Poles especially.
A shitty screenshot of an unofficial document doesn't change that.
yea, putting honor guards at the grave of a deeply respected Polish leader shows just how much they were hated. allying with us Romanians shows just how much we were hated (go ahead and tell me how it was actually coercion and the soviets "liberated" us...)
