The real "denazification"

[deckeda]

There's a story today of Putin making a new speech that seeks to --- wait for it --- normalize what Russia is doing in Ukraine.

Setting aside his insanity for a moment here's a history lesson:

In 1941 the Russians fought Nazi-occupied Kiev and suffered a tremendous loss. Russia did capture Kiev in 1943 for the Allies but not without more vicious loss.

The Babyn Yar ravine would be the site of an estimated 100K executions, a third of which were Jews.

This week, a Russian missile struck near Babyn Yar, now within Kyiv’s city limits, adding five more people to the notorious death toll.

I really don't see Putin using the bizarre "denazification" claim for much longer, if at all.

Note that the author is being eviscerated over use of "Russia" instead of USSR.

I'm seriously wondering if the top RU brass even knew that Zelensky was Jewish. It's pretty hard to claim 'denazification' when job #1 is to knock out the Jew at the top of gov't.

Not so sure that he's gonna stop it - the support he is getting within Russia is mostly for the denazification effort - many believe it. If that is no longer the issue, what the hell is he doing there?
