  • The US only joined the allies because of Japan’s war declaration. They were mostly happy making bank with both sides before that.

    The communications systems in german tanks were working with Graham Bell technology. Their electronics were big on american parts too. Part of the oil that fueled the invasion of Poland and France was from the US. A big part of US’ elites were pro-Hitler (for them the guy was a godsend against communism). The safest places to hide during the American bombings in Germany were the IBM factories.



  • Check out Dmytro Yarosh, Pravy Sektor or the Azov Brigade for example. They have far more reach than “1% on elections”.

    Historicaly the nazis were very popular in Ukraine because they fought against the soviets which, as you can guess, weren’t much liked by most of the population. They were seen as heroes and liberators by a lot of people. That doesn’t make it right, but it makes sense. History has a tendency to be grey like that.

    Well, those groups were obviously among the first to fight against the Russians in eastern Ukraine after Maïdan. They were very active in the Maïdan revolution too.

    It’s a valid thing to point out that integrating neo-nazi or nazi-adjacent people like that in the government and war machine is problematic. That doesn’t invalidate Ukraine’s legitimacy or give credit to Russia’s stupid claims. But denying those facts only fuels the russian propaganda machine.







  • If I understood properly the guy was a kinda homeless person that the two fuckers “hosted” in their house in exchange for participating (being tortured) in their streams. He was disabled or mentally challenged too, and there was another victim of theirs that was handicapped in the flat too.

    The alarm has been raised for at least 8 months but neither the police nor the national agencies nor the minister contacted either did or decided to do anything. Every time the police came the victims were saying that all was good and they gave their consent to anything, but on stream they were often asking to call the cops, an ambulance or trying to leave and the two fuckers barred them the exit and threatened to beat them or throw them back to the streets. So they were basically held hostage.

    The whole thing is a disgrace. It was the most viewed French language stream on Kick for months, two vulnerable people being tortured on stream and nobody did anything.

    Especially since it probably wasn’t the reason they surrendered. There are multiple papers on the subject. They didn’t really grasp the difference between the atomic bombs and regular bombing, and the US were carpet bombing multiple other cities at the time. They probably surrendered because of the Soviet advance after failed talks with them, which definitely reduced their chances to zero.
