Ustaše[0] are not my brothers, but I see how you can sympathize with the regime that glorifies banderovtsy[1].

"Jewish and Serb organizations, Croat historians and antifascists, as well as international observers, have repeatedly warned of revisionism in Croatia, which seeks to minimize Ustaše crimes and even celebrates the Ustaše regime. Recent examples include the publication of a book celebrating "the Croatian knight" Maks Luburić, who as head of Ustaše concentration camps was responsible for over 100,000 deaths, during Ustaše genocides against Jews, Serbs and Roma, and a documentary minimizing children's deaths in Ustaše concentration camps." [2]

In the Ukraine they translate and publish[3] memoirs of Nate Pavelich.[4]

What's your beef with Nazis? Don't you enjoy foreign invasions and genocide, bombs falling from the sky as the master race marches forward?

Smrt fašizmu, sloboda narodu!

Ante Pavelic was the Putin of the 20th century.

>Smrt fašizmu

On that we can agree.

>Ante Pavelic was the Putin of the 20th century.

Pavelic organized genocide, they are not the same.

So did Putin.

Seriously?

"The report, compiled by two thinktanks, the New Lines Institute in Washington and the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights in Montreal, found that there were “reasonable grounds to conclude” that Russia is already in breach of two articles of the 1948 Genocide Convention, by publicly inciting genocide, and by the forcible transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia, which the report notes is itself a genocidal act under article II of the convention."

So the reports says that Putin committed genocide by evacuating orphans from the war zone and saying that Russians and Ukrainians are the same people. Okey.

And that you equate with intentional murder of hundreds of thousands of people of undesired ethnicities by Pavelic?

I did not write the Genocide Convention, nor am I an expert to judge whether it applies or not.

The experts, however, say it does.

To call stealing kids from their parents "evacuating orphans" shows you, too, are supportive of genocide.

So the "experts" tell you that calling Russians and the Ukrainian the same people is genocide, and you think "Hmm, they must be right, they are experts. It's the same as saying that Jews are subhuman".

>To call stealing kids from their parents "evacuating orphans" shows you, too, are supportive of genocide.

It's a stale propaganda trope.

When asked for the list of children, Ukrainian regime managed to produce a list with only 339 names and not too convincing explanation of this hundredfold reduction compared to previous claims.

"When asked why Kyiv didn’t present a more extensive list, given that 339 names are less than 2% of the total number of forcefully taken children, Euronews sources explained it was a decision based on previous experience.

“There is a risk that Moscow would try to buy time claiming it takes longer to check the names, while trying to change the identities of Ukrainian children further, making it impossible to track,” the source said." [0]
