A post on Ask Lemmygrad by user Cyber Ghost titled “What are the reasons why Russia attacked Ukraine?”
Below is the comment by user @cfgaussian reading: “The Nazi Kiev regime attacked the ethnically Russian Donbass for eight years intending to commit genocide in their quest for an ethnically pure Ukraine and Russia finally came to their aid after it became clear that the Minsk agreements were never going to be honored. Also, NATO was turning Ukraine into a hyper militarized threat to the integrity and security of Russia itself. Refusal of the US and Europe to negotiate on a new inclusive security framework, refusal to stop NATO expansion eastward, and the relentless and violent anti-Russian psychosis that has gripped Ukraine since the Maiden coup that triggered a civil war in a country in which half or more of the population are essentially Russian became intolerable.”

Isn’t this the literal reason the Nazis, as in, the actual Nazis, gave to justify their invasion of Alsace and Lorainne? That their friendly ethnicities were being discriminated there, and that they had to invade to save them?
Same with the Sudentland in Czechoslovakia.
And same with Poland. The nazis dressed up some convicts in German border guard uniforms, then killed them, took photographs of their corpses and used as one of their excuses to attack (they also blamed Poland for murdering German ethnicities in Poland of course).
Do not compare any glorious people’s republic to Nazi Germany otherwise you get called a Holocaust denier.
One of the Hexbears spazzed out at me when I said the NKVD, like the Gestapo, did horrific things. I was genuinely confused…
Oh God you said it. If the name that shall not be named is repeated twice more, thou shalt summon thy horde!
Eh they’ll get banned fast
Yeah noticed that one of the spazzers who has too much time on their hands has been running around throwing a link about Holocaust denial around like they found us breaking a class rule and are going to tell a teacher.
They really just want an authority in control to tell them what to do and will side with the bullies since they think that will make the pain stop. Cowards. I get it but they are cowards.
Exactly. They are mad about the world but won’t do anything about it other than wait for the revolution to come like it’s the second coming of Christ. They are mad about the status quo and want to make others pay for it, even potential allies who agree in a lot of aspects.
Don’t worry this is a lemmy.world community, that means that most hexbear users won’t even see this post due to it not being available in their instance.
Maybe some of them will create alts on other instances to see and reply to this content, but the ones who spam like they do on hexbear are very likely to get banned quickly for doing this from other instances.
Don’t think it was the reason there, since France and the UK declared war on Germany after they invaded Poland, so they didn’t need a reason. However the Nazis used this line of argument against pretty much every neighbouring country. Especially with Poland which had a huge German population on the territory annexed after the first world war, and against Czechoslovakia it was indeed the cited casus belli.
