    This guy sure is going to be in for a rude surprise when he discovers his western “allies” toss him out like the used tissue that he is.

    I don’t really understand the methodology of people like this, surely he realizes that the west will not accept Ukrainians as white once this war is over, and they’ll literally be treated as evil “asiatic hordes” themselves. All his hateful rhetoric will do is make things harder for Ukrainians, including himself. Hell, we see this already with violence in the west against Ukrainians and other Eastern Europeans because the oh so enlightened and civilised white folk mistook them for Russians.

      I mean, the guys he idolizes (Bandera) were doing the same thing. Nazis would have liquidated them if they’d won against the Soviets once they outlived their usefulness.

        Didn’t some of the OG banderites actually got locked up by the Nazis? I recall this being used as a “gotcha” by those trying to “prove” they totally weren’t Nazi collaborators

      I don’t think he will, tbh. I’ve met some folks like that IRL. They’re either delusional and think themselves “one of the good ones”, have an inferiority complex (“oh why couldn’t I have been born GLORIOUS NORDIC”), or are actually ruthless, unscrupulous scumbags who would run at the first whiff of danger and then live cushily somewhere quiet, while spreading their filth. Just look at the original banderites in Canada. At the various London dwelling oligarchs from the former USSR.

        Yeah, a lot of the ones in leadership positions are probably the latter. He knows he’s making things worse, he doesn’t care because he’ll be living a nice easy life handed to him by Americans.
