I didn't say it was just "tankies" but you previously said
Couldn’t care less about regular communists. Tankies on the other hand…
After I called you a McCarthyist.
You know, you don't have to fail at doing gotchas, you can just recognize you're an anti-communist like McCarthy and stop.
Did you miss the part where France and England refused to join a defensive alliance with the USSR? And did appeasement with the nazis? And how denazification happened more in Eastern Europe than west Germany?
After Britain and France turned them down and did appeasement with the nazis
Lmao

One of the ways of getting into Canada during the postwar period “was by showing the SS tattoo,” Canadian historian Irving Abella told “60 Minutes” interviewer Mike Wallace. “This proved that you were an anti-Communist.”
The Canadian government hasn't really changed. Some high up government officials are the children and grandchildren of Nazi war criminals: https://www.google.com/amp/s/ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/chrystia-freelands-granddad-was-indeed-a-nazi-collaborator-so-much-for-russian-disinformation/wcm/11196169-fd23-4643-94b4-08039235c595/amp/
Most Ukrainians fought for their country as part of the red army. Something like 28:1. The nazi collaborators of the waffen SS like the fascist who was celebrated by the Canadian parliament mostly did "antipartisan activities" which involved killing a bunch of Jewish people.
Are you intentionally misgendering them? Read their username
He was not introduced as a Nazi, but as a WW2 veteran that fought against Russia.
So he was introduced as a nazi then? He was introduced as a ukrainian ww2 veteran who fought against Russia. Aka a soldier of the third Reich.
Is your issue that "oh but they framed it in a good way, how can you blame him for clapping for a nazi when the nazi was introduced in a favorable light."? Do you expect the prime Minister of a country not to know basic facts about the largest war of the last century?
They said he was ukrainian who fought the Russians in ww2, that meant he fought as a nazi.
He volunteered to be part of the waffen ss, they mostly terrorized the civilian population and helped with extermination, they weren't involved in actual warfighting that much and when they did fight they lost badly because they weren't meant to be military, they were meant to terrorize civilians and help with extermination.
Does this type of smuglord behavior make you feel smart?
