Germany, experts on Nazism as they say here, tell Russia to fuck off and speak the truth many couldn't see.

Considering the problem of far-right sympathies in the US Army and
elsewhere I can't say I'm surprised. How long did it take the authorities
even acknowledge there was a problem. Same in Germany. Whether this issue
will be tackled the same way in Ukraine is open to question. It is
interesting Israel's somewhat half-hearted take on things though Bennet has
met with Vlad recently.

anyway, here is another take on Ukraine written by a friend of my
girlfriend, who argues that acknowledging and recognizing the wrongs of
Putin on Ukraine, he as a Jew is nagged by an ambivalence of such wide
support for Ukraine, its citizens/having been involved in some of the
darkest days last century against those of his heritage and others.
