Lmfao if you think this is a war about denazification I have a bridge in the Donbas to sell you. You’re the one quoting the propaganda.

I don't. Nobody does. That's just more American propaganda.

Denazification was only one small point amongst many reasons given for the invasion, the principle one being NATO aggression and legitimate security concerns.

You failed to answer the question.

Yes. I brought up Ukraine's Nazi fascist regime.

So anyway, again for the second time, do you think Ukraine isn’t crawling with Nazis or what?
