        Oh they know already. Those Nazis who support the USA and those who oppose it, both groups know full well.

            Hold on. Wait a sec. What do you mean? Do you think Ukraine isn’t crawling with Nazis or what? You can’t possibly be still on last spring’s yank war propaganda?

                I don’t. Nobody does. That’s just more American propaganda.
