#Putin compares the West to #Nazi #Germany in 1941
Why 1941? Why not just Nazi Germany?
Because the #USSR was allied with Germany before 1941
Many #Kremlin apologists are eager to forget that
"Nazi" doesn't mean #fascism and #imperialism to Putin. It simply means "Western enemy"
The fascist mass murdering imperialist part of #Nazism isn't a problem to Putin
Because that's what Putin's #Russia is

« The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try » Karis NEMIK
I fully support #Ukraine in the #UkraineWar
Ukraine has to fight. #Russia can just go home. If Russia wins, their #ethnofascist #imperialism and #colonialism means #genocide for Ukrainians
However they have limited #labor. So they turbocharge #innovation
From such efforts, something horrible is born with terrible implications for the world
Literally #Skynet from "The #Terminator" movies

They say this is a time "to reflect on the blessings of being a beacon of hope and democratic freedom."
Oh honey, the #AmericanEmpire has not been a beacon of anything for a good while now other than #imperialism, #warfare, #invasions, and toppling governments they disliked then enabling Right Wing dictatorships.
And before any of you exceptional gringos come to whine, read a fucking book or two.
Colonial ranting aside, you can also get the documents they mention via GovInfo. Need help? Ask your local librarian.

“Although this was his first visit, Conan Doyle already knew something of Egypt. The country had been a popular theme in the European imagination, a place of mystery and glamour that had inspired various European works of art in the nineteenth century, from Shelley’s sonnet ‘Ozymandias’ to Verdi’s opera Aida.”
—Arthur Conan Doyle in Egypt
