Something that isn't being talked about her is this - The Russian government needs the Russian people to support the war. So they need to paint the Ukrainians as *EEEEVIL!!* And themselves as the *"Good Guys"* justified in spending all that money and forcing the Russian people to deal with trade restrictions, etc. Now, I could ramble on and on. But in the end, the word "Nazis" is just a Russian propaganda term meaning - *The big bad boogymen that are out ta getcha*. Putin claiming to "de-Nazify" Ukraine, is just him manipulating the Russian people into supporting the war, dehumanising the Ukrainian people so that the Russian people celebrate their death and destruction. Again, Nazi is being used as a propaganda term. Normal everyday Russians would not support a war against normal everyday Ukrainians. They wouldn't support a war against people that are not much different than themselves. In other words - The Russian people would not support any more brother wars. But they will support a war against big bad boogymen. And in Russia, because of WW2, they have been conditioned to associate the word Nazi with eeeevil big bad boogymen. This war is the Jewish politicians VS us and our brothers. But those Jewish politicians need to manipulate the people into thinking that the war is us, the good guys, VS our brothers, the bad guys. Yeah, yeah, I know, it's more complicated than that. There are more things at play. But this is the reason the Russian government is screaming, *"NAZIS!! NAZIS!! De-Nazify Ukraine!!"* It's one of the ways the Russian government is manipulating its people into supporting the war. And no, I am not Russian or Ukrainian. Nor am I living in Europe.
