    Russia has only strengthened the position of the Nazis. A society fighting a desperate defensive war can’t afford to exclude any help. If Nazis want to go fight the Russians, go let them. Either way, regardless of who dies, you win. And if the Nazis survive until the end of the war, we can thank them for their service with slightly comfier pillows in their jail cells.

      Except this thinking is literally how half of ethnic conflicts in early 20th century arose. The problem with this is that if Nazis survive, they are going to do so by holding positions of power.

        what are you talking about? the far FAR overwhelming amount of Ethnic conflicts in the 20th century onwards were literally due to the collapse of artificial socio-economic structures created by then defunct empires.

        Literally: COLONIALISM

      I see no jail cells in these photos:

        You seem to be exceptionally confused. Go back and read what I said. At no point did I say that was what happened. It was my personal opinion that if Nazis help you fight a defensive war, their reward should be more comfy pillows in their jail cells. No amnesty, no forgiveness.

        I’m flattered that you went into all that effort to dunk on me, but in the future don’t do all of that work until you make sure you understand the comment correctly.

          Your comment didn’t specify a timeframe, which is why it contradicted recent events.

          It was my personal opinion that if Nazis help you fight a defensive war, their reward should be more comfy pillows in their jail cells.

          I share your opinion there.

            I see what you mean. Regardless, I’m glad we agree on the actual point once we got through the misunderstanding.

            A domestic enemy helping you defend your country is still a domestic enemy, and you can’t just forgive their wrongs, even if it feels a bit exploitative and unfair to give them nothing.

            Ironically, your number one ally in a defensive existential war is the fascists and extremists, because they’re going to be quite pissed at the prospect of being conquered. Allowing them to fight is already reward enough for them.
