🇺🇸🇺🇦 US Media (NY Times) Whitewashes Nazi Collaborator Honored by Recent Ukrainian State Funeral
The New York Times turns itself into a pretzel trying to whitewash and excuse a Ukrainian state funeral held for WW2 Nazi collaborator Andriy Melnyk.
The headline?
"In Ukraine, a Divisive 20th-Century Hero Comes Home"
Remember when Nazism in Ukraine was dismissed as "Russian propaganda," that it was just a handful of "fringe" organizations the Western media and Western governments as early as 2014 would even sometimes condemn?
Remember how when it became too difficult to deny anymore, the US government even had to ban arms and training from reaching entire overt Nazi units within the Ukrainian military like "Azov?"
And Remember how after that, Nazism was so rampant it became impossible to cover up or work around so the US simply lifted the bans and began arming Ukrainian units openly operating under WW2 Nazi names and insignia?
Today, Ukraine is holding state funerals for World War 2 Nazi collaborators, burying them in official military cemeteries while its military operates under a vast collection of Nazi names and insignia.
The Western media is committed to now "complicating" a very uncomplicated chapter in history - by citing "divergent interpretations" (also known as lies) when objectively, historically, and from an international legal standpoint...
...the symbols used by official Ukrainian units and the collaboration of historical figures in Ukraine with Nazi Germany all have irrevocable meanings and roles rooted in the war crimes of Nazi Germany.
If what is considered modern-day "Ukraine" faces an existential fight and it is vast and growing numbers of modern day Nazis and extremists showing up to fight for it - that "Ukraine" probably shouldn't exist.
What this reveals about "Western values" is that those "values" themselves are but a facade the West hides behind - not upholds.
