Or this one?

Neither seem to be running the story.

The Russians have always appreciated a good fitted wardrobe.

This aged well…

in the telegraph - but because it is behind a paywall, I cut and pasted it

I genuinely have no idea what you are talking about. All looks right to me. I suppose that I’m seeing a lot more social media stuff from the Russian side on telegram than I saw in the early days of the conflict but other than that Ukrainians are being steadily ground up and the rest of NATO are sending out a a relatively insignificant quantity of weapons that the Ukrainians don’t know how to use and which are often destroyed before they get anywhere near the theatre of operation.

Also I wish you a happy victory in Europe day, I’ve got my bunting up, hope you do too.

Didn’t the Russians sign a deal with the Nazis?

Asking for a friend.

Yes but you know what happened to that - it’s in the history books :roll_eyes:

Someone wrote he wasn’t attacked it was a special decorative operation ha ha genius.

Like these?

As is the fact that the Western world kept trading with the Nazis long after it became clear that Hitler’s regime was virulently anti-Semitic.

To be fair, very different times. Huge amounts of fascism, racism, homophobia all over.

And to be extra fair, the West could have had a deal first but weren’t offering anything the Soviets wanted. They insulted the Russians by sending a shitty delegation so when Ribbentrop turned up and said ā€œwe’ll give you half of Poland and non-aggressionā€, the Soviets were in there like swimwear.

A very costly mistake in the short term, but as you say, a lot of very undesirable types about. Stalin made his job a lot harder by murdering a good amount of the Red Army officer corps in the years leading up to the war.

Not the wisest idea by the Russian Ambassador tbh
And he wasn’t ā€œattackedā€ it was red paint. Still not right though

If you know your history Pap many didn’t want to trade with Germany from the time he got to power. Look for Red Kitty and Hore-Belisha.

Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova says: ā€œNeo-Nazis have once again shown their face - and it is bloody.ā€

Looks like Poland have their fair share of Nazis - at least according to this mentalist

As a proportion/percentage of the total population, abut the same as UK, France, Germany etc etc etc.

But of course this was not done by any of them

That’s the thing with Nazis. There don’t need to be many of them for them to be disproportionately empowered. The Nazi Party’s best result was 33% of the vote. When Papen gave the nod for Hitler to become Chancellor, they used the levers of the state to turn their minority view into a majority one.
