    Russia-Ukraine war: Vladimir Putin's bizarre claim Russia 'saving' Ukraine from West's Nazi dictatorship
    11 Apr, 2022

    It's a contradiction in terms. But President Vladimir Putin is doubling down on his bizarre claim that Russia is single-handedly battling a West controlled by "liberal-Nazi dictatorships".

    Putin launched his assault on Ukraine amid assertions that the nation needed to be "de-Nazified". He claimed its capital Kyiv of being run by "neo-Nazis". He whipped up a nationalist frenzy based on the Soviet Union's World War II success.

    It's just that very little of it has any foundation in truth.

    With his troops forced into retreat, Putin's inner circle is struggling to bolster their president's tenuous position.

    So they're now claiming the new Nazi "Reich" extends far beyond Ukraine's borders.......

    The words "За детей" were on the missile.

    Painting phrases on missiles and bombs has been happening for a long time. I’m sure the Russians meant the phrase as a response to the propaganda they believe in, that Ukrainian nazis have been killing Russian children. Perhaps they’ll write “no more gay b c books” on the next one. It’s all the same propaganda.

    Anyway, it would be nice to make some Easter eggs for Putin.

    No doubt. But it would take a real sinister person to write "for the children" on a missile. I'd still like to see some proof.

    I remember we were painting stuff on bombs meant for the Taliban. Sayings like "This one tastes like pork".

    Its kind of sickening that this has to be explained to these morons.

    Written by Rear Admiral W.R. Purnell of the US Navy, where on the side of the "Fat Man" device while it was at Tinian he signed it and wrote the words "A second kiss for Hirohito!"

    I don't think anyone recovered that.
