What is happening in Ukraine under Putin lies is beyond tragic. Yet so many under the spell of trump and republicans, have no idea it is happening here. That that is terrifying, especially after witnessing Ukraine fighting for it own freedom as a Democracy against incredible odds.
"a growing number of women and girls are being raped in the name of defeating imaginary Nazis"
As noted, Russians hatred for the Nazis is understandable and "they come by their hatred of Nazis honestly."
But
I've little doubt that if you were to ask a Russian soldier why they hate Nazis, what Nazis did that made them so horrible, that they would cite exactly the things they themselves are now doing.
So it's not hatred of Nazis that's driving them. Hasn't been for a very long time. It's just the publicly acceptable sounding excuse they use as a façade. Like the anti-choice "Christians" who _claim_ they believe in the sanctity of life while they advocate for the assassination of doctors.
