    Thanks for the civil conversation, this gives me hope.
    Nice that some people have an open mind and are willing to be sceptical, look up sources and learn without blindly accepting what their side tells them.

    Here’s some background:

    The Ukraine fascist problem goes back all the way to WW2.
    Even before it was finished US/UK started to save nazis to use them later against the Soviets.
    After it was clear they would win the war after the battle of Stalingrad 1943.
    This has been largely swept under the carpet.
    Most of them in the west got rehabilitated and even kept in important positions. Not in the least in NATO.
    And are we the good guys when we had no trouble accepting fully fascist regimes in NATO?
    Spain, Portugal, Greece and more.

    Everyone more or less knows about Project Paperclip to use nazi scientist.
    Which is despicable but in some way understandable.
    But it goes much further than that.
    Here is a good read on the ratlines that were established.
    And why would they save thousands of the worst Ukrainian SS Galicia troops and evacuate them to England and later Canada?
    The results and the ideology of their offspring is still strong.
    Also check out the rest of that sub, it will surely debunk the ‘no nazis in Ukraine’ mantra.
    Declassified document showing CIA supporting post war fascists in Ukraine.

    And those efforts kept going leading to the coup.

    Always ready to answer questions.
    Have a nice day.
