The United States has a Nazi problem.

The white race has been "radicalized".

Do you know who's to blame for this?

You guessed it - Putin.



The alleged ties between the administration of President Donald Trump and Russia are currently the subject of intensive media scrutiny. But perhaps less well known are the connections between a Kremlin ideologue described as “Putin’s brain” and key members of the U.S. alt-right and white supremacist movement, including those behind the Charlottesville protest.

Damn you for causing our racial strife, Putin!

Fortunately there is one place where Nazis are not a problem - Ukraine.

Behind Russia's 'Neo-Nazi' Propaganda Campaign in Ukraine

Don't believe the Russian propaganda about Ukraine's 'fascist' protesters

Putin's Imaginary Nazis

No, Ukraine's right-wing agitators are not fascist anti-Semites. But Russia wants them to be.

Damn you for inventing nonexistent Nazis in Ukraine, Putin!

That's not to say that there aren't Nazi-like events in Ukraine.



A leader of Ukrainian Jewry condemned the hosting in Lviv of a festival celebrating a Nazi collaborator on the anniversary of a major pogrom against the city’s Jews.

The municipality plans to hold “Shukhevychfest,” an event named after the nationalist collaborator Roman Shukhevych featuring music and theater shows, on June 30th...

On June 30, 1941, Ukrainian troops, including militiamen loyal to Shukhevych’s, began a series of pogroms against Jews, which they perpetrated under the auspices of the German army, according to Yale University history professor Timothy Snyder and other scholars. They murdered approximately 6,000 Jews in those pogroms...

“Shukhevychfest” is part of a series of gestures honoring nationalists in Ukraine following the 2014 revolution, in which nationalists played a leading role.

OK. I know that looks bad, but surely there is a reason for this. After all, the very same liberal establishment media sources that denounce those Putin-Nazis in Charlottesville (Atlantic, Guardian, Politico, etc.), and that support tearing down statues, are the ones who told us that there are no Nazis in Ukraine.

Well, maybe they mean there are almost no Nazis in Ukraine. Not enough to be a danger to the public.



As Ukraine’s fight against Russian-supported separatists continues, Kiev faces another threat to its long-term sovereignty: powerful right-wing ultranationalist groups. These groups are not shy about using violence to achieve their goals, which are certainly at odds with the tolerant Western-oriented democracy Kiev ostensibly seeks to become.

The recent brutal stabbing of a left-wing anti-war activist named Stas Serhiyenko illustrates the threat posed by these extremists. Serhiyenko and his fellow activists believe the perpetrators belonged to the neo-Nazi group C14 (whose name comes from a 14-word phrase used by white supremacists). The attack took place on the anniversary of Hitler’s birthday, and C14’s leader published a statement that celebrated Serhiyenko’s stabbing immediately afterward.

It's just a coincidence, I'm sure, that these nonexistent Nazis in Ukraine also support the tearing down of statues and renaming of streets.

So to sum this up:

Not denouncing Nazis in the U.S. makes you a Putin-lover.

Denouncing Nazis in Ukraine makes you a Putin-lover.

Tearing down statues is a good thing everywhere.
