Anyone have a time frame for the invasion? I remember hearing on the news that it would use the Olympics as a distraction.

Why are you probing people for pointing out Nazis?

I don't think you can really separate the very long and very brutal history of antisemitism in the Ukraine from it's current predicament. The centuries of pogroms and paramilitary groups that the Ukraine has been responsible for are not anomalous but rather a very clear pattern that continues to this day. The cossacks, for example, were notorious in their cruelty to the Jewish people. Does that mean every Ukrainian is a Nazi? Of course not. Does that mean Russia should invade them? Lol no. But you just can't pretend that doesn't exist, and probing people for pointing out that this long running tradition of hatred still exists serves only to run cover for worst people on the planet.

Plastic_Gargoyle posted:And this history is unique to Ukraine, and not the entire Russian Empire....how? Their collaboration with the Nazis including participating in the Holocaust.

steinrokkan posted:If you are under the impression there were no Belarussian or Russian collaborators, you are just willfully ignorant. If you are under the impression there were no pogroms and antisemitism in Russia or Belarus prior to or after WWII, you are doubly ignorant. If you believe there were no Ukraininans fighting against the Nazis as soldiers or partisans, you should just gently caress off. Imperial Russia (as its multiethnic whole, not just today's Russia) was possibly the most antisemitic country in Europe before the revolution, and the domestic attitudes didn't change overnight, if indeed they changed at all.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Did that change the attitudes, or just prevent them from being acted upon? Well, technically executing antisemites does cause a severe alteration in brain chemistry, so yes.

I just want to point out, I didn't bring up Russia. Someone else pulled a whataboutism comparing the history of antisemitism in the Ukraine to that of Russia.

OddObserver posted:That would be the majority of population. Yah, just to be clear: I'm not claiming that antisemitism wasn't rife through the USSR, just pointing out that it was the only government at the time taking any steps to quash it. And Putin can eat a hairy turd.
