I'd definitely be ok dating her and I also like the rifle. LoL
Yes there were lot of ethnicities fighting on the side of Hitler (mainly Ukrainians).
Look up the SS Galychnaya for example.
Here is the problem with your theory:
These Banderites and war criminals are still being co-memorated and celebrated as heroes throughout most of the Western Ukraine.
While the Nazis are of course also present in Russia (just like most other countries on this planet), in Russia they are being cracked down upon and prosecuted...in Ukraine, they are actually celebrated.
That is the main difference.
Let me ask you a question:
Show me another country anywhere in the world, where battalions such as Azov (whom are open about being Nazi supporters with both words and symbols) are allowed to be an official part of said countries official armed forces.
Just one!
After you fail to find it, try to think long and hard about this one.
And you find one other country invading their neighbor, annexing territories and killing civilians in the process.
Definitely it is bad for Ukraine on the world stage to have some official groups demonstrating Nazy-like symbols and honestly, I never supported that. Russia makes a big hype out if and uses it in their propaganda. But besides signage and words, how far Azov really goes with doing real things except of defending their own country against Russia? Is their ultimate goal to enslave Europe or Russia, burn down cities, build concentration camps for Jews and other ethnicities? I've been to many parts of Ukraine a few times for past 10 years and had no issues speaking Russian language (although I can speak Ukrainian too), never seen Nazy groups marching down the street with Hitler portraits or Nazy flags hanging on buildings. That being said, I cannot recognize Ukraine as a true Nazy country or doing any atrocities which may warrant full scale invasion of Russians leveling down whole cities along the way. That is a story created for Russians living in Russia, however some folks on this continent fall for it as well. The sad part - those destroyed cities are on eastern side where pro-Russian folks were living, while those western side "Nazy" remain mostly unaffected. By the logic of some folks here - anyhow this invasion of Russians still makes sense all because of those pesky Nazis.
Bandera is of course a controversial person. He was against Soviets having Ukraine a part of their country, but he never was a friend to Hitler either (he has been jailed by Gestapo for his political views). He just was trying to use Hitler to achieve his own goals, like independent Ukraine and at some point was thinking Hitler would help with that. Also, keep in mind, Hitler was not proclaimed a war criminal until 1945 and even Germans were not aware of concentration camps up until then. JFK was openly admiring Hitler and then ashamed of that. Just like today folks admiring Putin thinking he is on the right side of history, although more and more he repeats Hitler's steps. Who knows, may be in a few years putinism will be new synonym to fascism. And eventually all those kovals, kdx, czshotters will stop using every opportunity to cheer Putin in a fear to be in trouble, although they have already have their bad mark on internet for a long time ahead.
I remember you now...you are the guy who couldn't tell the difference between 180 and 360 degrees in our last debate.
But to your credit, you have at least learned the significance of paraghraphs.
I however respectfully decline your history lessons.
As far as yout first paragraph, just look at all of the invasions under false pretexts perpetrated by non other, than the US.
Just the invasion of Iraq under the pretense of WMD's is responsible for over 1.5 million dead and misplaced Iraqi civilians.
They create conflicts all over the world (always to their benefit of course).
The Russian conflict is no different, as this was the plan when the US government supported a violent coup, in which a democratically elected president of Ukraine was overthrown...
The stage was set to pull Russia into a war with Ukraine with the intention of weakening Russia.
Shortly after that, the Neo-Nazi death squads were dispatched to Eastern Ukraine to hunt down and kill the members of the Russian speaking minority (of course with the full support of the US government, as they were flooding cash, equipment and "military consultants" to prepare for the inevitable).
The Russians had made a mistake back then for not going in right away, as over 14 000 were murdered by Ukrainian war criminals, such as Azov or Kraken.
Putin had bought into the Minsk 2 ceasefire agreement, of which both France and Germany were the guarantors.
However in recent interviews both Petro Porosenko (Ukrainian president after the coup) and Angela Merkel (German chancellor at the time) revealed, that they had no intention of ever honouring these agreements.
They said, that they just needed to buy time for the Ukrainian army to be re-built and re-trained against Russia.
Read and then re-read that last sentence again and think about it for a bit.
They knew, that with their actions they left Russia no choice but to go in at some point in the near future.
What is happening now is the inevitable conclusion of what happened in 2014.

Have the Russians found the mass graves of the 14,000 civilians supposedly murdered by Azov or Kraken batallions? Has Zelensky emptied his prisons to strengthen his army? Has Ukraine used incendiary bombs yet? Has Russia ever acknowledged the Holodimir famine imposed on Ukraine by Stalin in the 30s? Has Ukraine ever invaded and occupied neighboring countries in the last 100 years?
A few questions no one seems able to answer with facts, and we know why. Slava Ukraini.
I just noticed this video on Twitter this week... SKS continues on, at least for dramatic effect.

And someone accused me of taking a yellow and blue pill, but Reagan would be rolling over in his grave how many people are swallowing ex-KGB swill hook, line, and sinker and are happy to see someone attempt to re-create the Soviet Union. I am Canadian, my ancestry is Ukrainian, and I know like the forced starvation genocide of Ukranians by the Soviets of the Holodomr, the Russian invasion is evil and wrong. So keep shouting the Orc's warcries all you want, Ukraine will again be free!

I very rarely post on cgn for last few years and try avoid arguing with folks of the different political views because it's a waste of time. None of the opponents will be convinced or change sides in these useless conversations. So I was not participating in whatever 180/360 degree debates either.
I was never supporting USA igniting conflicts and in general against any war. And no one put a gun against Putin's head to force him to invade Ukraine. It was him who commanded it and started the war. If you believe it was a trap setup by US and Putin fell in - even less respect for him, since he is a stupid politician in addition to all other bad names. Yes, USA across the pond has won political game in Ukraine, while Putin just being few hundred kms from Kiev and all his KGB dept was not able to establish pro-Russian govt there in somewhat peaceful way. Because he's lost that game - the war remained the last resort option and he went on. He might opt it out. Would be better for everyone.

the pro-stalin and putin apologists will never accept and admit the holodomor disaster/ holocaust and what they did that striked the ukrainian population.

And the MSM brainwashed drones will never bother doing their own research, after which they would realize that the holodomor had affected the whole of Russia, while the worst hit region was Kazachstan, followed by Ukraine.
This narrative that Ukraine was somehow deliberatelly singled out was pushed by the West and was one of the catalyst events, which led to the rise of war criminals such as Stephan Bandera or Roman Sukhievich...figures still celebrated by brainwashed Ukrainians (mostly in western Ukraine) till this day.

So you probably also agree that the Armenian genocide, well documented, never happened, according to the Turkish government? Also west inspired BS?

To be fair, you should say starvation of Soviets by the Soviets, since Ukrainians were not only ones who perished, but also Russians, Tatars and Kazakhs. But it sounds like it does not fit your agenda.
The Holocaust killed Roma, Slav, and LGTBQIA2S+ people, but that doesn't change the fact it was primarily directed against and killed many, many times more Jewish people. The Holodomor may have killed other Soviet ruled people, but it was directed against and most of its victims were Ukrainian. And you want to see a new Russo/Soviet/Fascist empire restored, second in history to only the Nazis in the scope of their evil? The KGB/FSB/GRU minds who planned the mass indoctrination of North American fifth columnists/sympathizers must be extremely happy to have succeed so well!
