    she is literally responding to people today, in the context of modern Ukraine’s avowed Nazism

    no? the post is about WW2 and they end it with “None of this relates to current geopolitical issues”

    Ukrainian superstate, and not a breakdown of its nations

    There’s Ukraine, and there’s “Ukraine”.

    what are you smoking mate? no there’s just Ukraine.

    regions of Ukraine speaking Russian language to different extent doesn’t mean Ukraine is made up of several nations

    are parts of Ireland where English is mainly spoken actually England to you?

    But now you’re guilty of the same omission. Where is your mention of the Banderites etc.?

    Existence of Banderites is irrelevant to the question of whether Ukraine as a whole can be considered a victim of Nazi Germany.

    10 million Ukrainians were killed by Nazis, 2.5 millions were enslaved, 5 million served in the Red Army. Compare that to ~200 thousand or so Wehrmacht collaborators.

    Don’t let neonazis rewrite history.

      Yes. I don’t care what the post is about. Again, she is literally responding to people today, in the context of modern Ukraine’s avowed Nazism.

      what are you smoking mate? no there’s just Ukraine.

      regions of Ukraine speaking Russian language to different extent doesn’t mean Ukraine is made up of several nations

      That’s quite literally, in every way, exactly what that means. I don’t know what to say to you if we can’t work off of basic definitions of words.

      are parts of Ireland where English is mainly spoken actually England to you?

      No but the Travelling community, an Mincéirí, who have their own dialect would be their own nation within Ireland. It doesn’t need to be a language. The nation of Islam, the Sioux nations… these all speak English in the USA. etc. Ukraine, the state, was a bad idea because it was comprised of so many nations, historically separated by culture and language. Blame Lenin and Kruschev.

      Existence of Banderites is irrelevant to the question of whether Ukraine as a whole can be considered a victim of Nazi Germany.

      You can’t talk about Ukraine as a whole, is my point.

      10 million Ukrainians were killed by Nazis, 2.5 millions were enslaved, 5 million served in the Red Army. Compare that to ~200 thousand or so Wehrmacht collaborators.

      And today over 70% of them subscribe to Nazism. These are the people being spoken to in the tweet.

      Don’t let neonazis rewrite history.

      I hope you’re not calling the twitter poster a neo Nazi here.
