A German medic said he was so troubled that he confronted his commander. Others boasted about killings in a group chat.

        Then how come all those other governments can seem to organize a simple photo op without nazi SS symbols?

        Bold move using whataboutism for countries that don’t have national holidays for the nazi leader who was in charge of the holocaust in their regions

        Extremely appropriate that a “Mr Lemmy” is a nazi apologist.

        Isn’t it literally illegal to be a Nazi in Germany?

        No surprises for the Fr*nch though, read up on the nightmare shit they did in Algeria.

          As always, it’s not illegal when you’re in the police while you’re doing this shit

          The German justice system has reported the discovery of Nazi symbols and child pornography in messages exchanged by police officers in a private group chat.

          Five police officers, aged 22 to 25 and from three different districts, were involved in sharing the illegal content, according to the public prosecutor in charge of the investigation.

          I mean it’s meant to be illegal in Austria, but I still saw a fuckload of Nazis when I went to a football game there.

          This is one of the US’s partners in the war:

          America loves Nazis, whether they’re Ukrainian Neonazis or Zionazis.

            The war is a classic example of fascist infighting

              Fascists are nationalists. Fascists from different nations fighting each other isn’t really infighting, that’s just like, regular fighting.

              Not something we should be fueling at any rate. Heaven forbid anyone asks about a peace plan that isn’t total victory, though.

                Yeah it’s tough to find a compromise when Russia seems to go for the total victory or at least a settlement of gains and Ukraine hopes for a stalemate without border changes.

                  Russia has literally never intended to take and hold the whole of Ukraine. USA military intelligence has stated that this has been true since the beginning of the SMO. Your understanding of the world is inaccurate.

                    I wasn’t the one bringing up total victory. I don’t know what level of invasion is their true intention, nor claim to know.

                  Ukraine hopes for total retreat from all claimed Ukrainian territory, not a mere stalemate. That’s hardly compromise.

          Yeah, but they weren’t Germans from the 1930s, so the war crimes are fine
