There is a difference between shame and humiliation. Felt shame plenty but this is the first time there is embarrassment.

There are more images of Ukrainian Nazi symbols than Russian Nazi symbols for several reasons, including:

  1. The conflict in Ukraine has received more media coverage than Russia’s involvement in the conflict, resulting in more images of Ukrainian soldiers and their symbols being circulated in the media[1][5].
  2. The use of Nazi symbols by Ukrainian soldiers has been a controversial topic, with some arguing that it highlights the country’s complicated relationship with Nazi imagery[1]. This has led to more scrutiny of Ukrainian soldiers and their symbols, resulting in more images being captured and shared.
  3. The Ukrainian government has condemned the use of Nazi symbols by its soldiers, while the Russian government has not made similar statements about its soldiers[1][3]. This may have led to more attention being paid to Ukrainian soldiers and their symbols.
  4. Some far-right groups in Ukraine have been known to use Nazi symbols, which has contributed to the perception that Ukraine has a “neo-Nazi problem”[6]. This perception has led to more scrutiny of Ukrainian soldiers and their symbols.
  5. Russian propaganda has falsely claimed that Ukraine is a Nazi state, which has led to more attention being paid to Ukrainian soldiers and their symbols[1].

Overall, the greater media coverage of the conflict in Ukraine, the controversy surrounding the use of Nazi symbols by Ukrainian soldiers, and Russian propaganda have all contributed to there being more images of Ukrainian Nazi symbols than Russian Nazi symbols.

What percentage of the Ukrainian population are you writing off as Nazi’s? Which country would you have a problem with Russia invading and swallowing up if not Ukraine?

Buddy, even just casually paying attention you should have heard ‘Wagner Group’. Maybe you’re just not looking too closely.

Every country has a Nazi problem. India has a Nazi program. The US has a Nazi problem. Ukraine has a Nazi problem and a Jewish leader, and it’s being attacked by Russia, a country with a larger Nazi problem.

Had a cousin go to the cottage with a bunch of people who flew in internationally Jan 2020, they all came down with a really bad flu and they had to call for ambulances. He died of a heart attack after running out to the ambulance when it arrived.
