So Michael Brenner is wrong? Note that Burns warned that movement toward absorbing Ukraine would upset Russia, nothing about the fantasy of Obama overthrowing the Ukrainian president which appears to be of Brenner's own making. In fact, dude loses all credibility by the mere suggestion. Also note that Ukrainian NATO membership was rejected multiple times well into the start of the conflict, so the premise is bullshit. Additionally, Ukraine is a sovereign nation so Brenner and Putin can get fucked if they were ever extended an invitation, which they were not. Not even the Kremlin is running w/the NATO excuse, that talking point has run its course.
We already know who the real Nazi's are -- here is a hint. Russian neo-Nazi militia fighting in Ukraine advocates the murder and torture of POWs: report https://www.businessinsider.com/pro...-torture-murder-ukrainian-pows-report-2022-10 A pro-Kremlin militia is advocating for the murder and torture of Ukrainian prisoners, per The Guardian. "Task Force Rusich" advocated for "removing body parts" of POWs in a Telegram message, the paper said. The group is described by the US Treasury as a "neo-Nazi paramilitary group." A pro-Kremlin, neo-Nazi militia group is advocating for the murder and torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war, according to The Guardian. The "Task Force Rusich," which has been linked to the infamous Russian private military contractor, Wagner Group, is fighting in Ukraine on behalf of the Russian government, The Guardian reported. A message published on Rusich's Telegram channel on September 22 offers instructions on how to treat Ukrainian prisoners of war, including grisly instructions on how to torture them and dispose of their bodies, the newspaper said. The message advocates for "removing body parts" and the "destruction of prisoners on the spot," per The Guardian. It includes specific instructions on murdering Ukrainian prisoners of war after they have been interrogated and advises against reporting Ukrainian captures to the pro-Kremlin command, The Guardian reported. If a report is necessary, the message said, it should falsely claim that the prisoner was already injured or dying, per the newspaper. The message also encourages blackmailing the families of captured prisoners into paying Rusich in order to receive the coordinates of where their family member's body is located, The Guardian said. "Rusich, an openly neo-Nazi group highly likely operating on behalf of the Kremlin, has promoted the commission of war crimes in the conflict," said Adam Hadley, executive director of Tech Against Terrorism, per The Guardian. "Despite Putin's claims, the actions of Rusich in the conflict demonstrate the concerning prominence of neo-Nazi groups committing atrocities on behalf of the Kremlin," Hadley continued. Rusich is described by the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) as a "neo-Nazi paramilitary group that has participated in combat alongside Russia's military in Ukraine, including near Kharkiv, in 2022." In 2015, Rusich mercenaries fought alongside pro-Russian separatists in the Donbas, per The Times. The newspaper said that they were filmed mutilating and setting fire to corpses there. In Syria, where members of the group were later deployed, they were accused of dismembering a prisoner, The Times said. Rusich members have also been pictured enacting the Nazi salute, per the newspaper. It stated that in April, it was operating in the Kharkiv region since recaptured by Ukrainian forces. Rusich is a reference to a mythical fortress in ancient Russia, The Times said. The group and its founders were included in the US sanctions list last month. The neo-Nazi Rusich militia stands in stark contrast to President Putin's repeated claims that a key aim of the invasion was to "denazify" Ukraine.
https://forward.com/news/462916/nazi-collaborator-monuments-in-ukraine/ beginning in 2014, when the Maidan uprising brought a new government to Ukraine, the country has been erecting monuments to Nazi collaborators and Holocaust perpetrators at an astounding pace — there’s been a new plaque or street renaming nearly every week. Because of this, the Ukraine section represents an extremely partial listing of the several hundred monuments, statues, and streets named after Nazi collaborators in Ukraine.
No other country on the face of the earth has more neo-Nazi organizations or members than Russia.

gwb-trading, you don't know much about Russia, you just spread your silly Anti-Russia hate propaganda. It's all futile . I doubt anybody believes your hollow propaganda
Here, this might be of interest for you. It's about the work of your ilk... https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-anti-Russian-xenophobia-so-widespread-worldwide
For the same reason anti-Nazi German "xenophobia" was so widespread in the early 1940s -- because a dictator similar to Putin was sending his cronies out to forceably take over countries using military brutality while committing obscene war crimes.
Russia is not Nazi-Germany, nor Nazi; the opposite is the case, they hate Nazis b/c the Nazis brutally murdered 27 million (!) Russians in WW2. No nation can forget nor forgive such a crime... Therefore, your propaganda attempt to convince us that Russians are Nazi is just dumb & stupid.
