With Ukraine’s military badly outnumbered by the invading Russians and desperately in need of more soldiers, villages like Makiv are being emptied of their fighting-age men.

              Don’t call them stupid, they’re clearly malicious. Call them on that instead.

              Comment I replied to is explicitly about Russia in Ukraine right now.

              Edit then someone posted an image trashing NATO for something unrelated to Russia being in Ukraine right now, thus proving me right.

              Talking about other conflicts or historical events is classic goalpost moving.

              I didn’t contest or even bring up paperclip Nazis in the west, someone reflexively did which is great.

              Edit Regarding the image, acting like the us/west was the only one trying to collect Nazi intelligence via recruiting scientists and the like is comical. If the soviets could have got them, they would have. Sucks to suck?

                  Lol no.

                  Whatever folks they sent to the gulag they wrung dry of knowledge first. Stalin had a fun habit of discarding his playthings when bored.

                  There are many articles on this, pick any source you find acceptable, I don’t need to play whackamole and find more than one to get you started

                  Edit Regarding your links, I never contested paperclip Nazis or NATO involvement in Ukraine but “regime change” in Ukraine is silly. It’s a defensive war to kick Russia OUT of Ukraine.

                  You’re just mad it’s “kyiv” not “kiev” and it’s “Ukraine” not “the Ukraine”

                  Ukraine is a proxy in a war between Russia and NATO.

                  Which Russia can stop at any time by LEAVING THE SOVEREIGN SOIL OF ANOTHER NATION.

                  Literally never addressed Nazis in the west. Not one bit. Why’d you bring it up?

                  The point I did bring up is that the soviets also secured rocket engineers, and undoubtedly would have loved to have von Braun and similar.

                  And beyond that, as the original comment was discussing Russians in Ukraine, which they obviously are. Even if it is a proxy war, it is a just one because Russia kicked it off with a flaccid attempt on kyiv. Edit and NATO is backing Ukraine. If Russia pulled out tomorrow the evil NATO certainly wouldn’t chase them into classic Russian territory.
