    But in Ukraine's case, these Nazi sympathisers were given oxygen by Putin attempting to recreate parts of the Soviet Union by use of violence

    It makes Ukraine the good guys over the invasions of their territory by Russia because, as I remind you, just 2 or 3 years ago, the extreme right managed to garner less than 2% of the national vote. It is a peaceful country (unless attacked) moving swiftly to a fully democratic nation.

    Russia is stuck in the Middle Ages.

    Ah ok. You’re position as a Nazi sympathiser is cemented, as is mine as a Putin apologist.

    If all those who support Ukraine in this fight are Nazi sympathisers, I've got news for you. You're surrounded by them everywhere you go.

    I would suggest that not everyone is aware of the Right Wing, Neo Nazi ideology of groups like Azov…..luckily you do. Makes you more of a Nazi sympathiser than Beryl or Sid from Berkshire who have changed their Facebook profile to a Blue and Yellow background.

    And if I tell Beryl and Sid they're supporting a country that had a less than 2% vote for right wing parties in 2019, I suppose they'll immediately withdraw their support?

    Or maybe they'll feel optimism at a fledgling democracy

    I used to support the Yemeni Houthis against the vicious regime of the House of Saud….until Steels pointed out to me that they aren’t really that nice either.

    but then I’m not Beryl or Sid

    Make up your own mind...

    Up until he became Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson was vehemently against supplying arms to the Saudis for use in the conflict against the Houthis. The day he became FS he was handed a dossier detailing what a Houthi victory would mean to the civilised world, and immediately back-tracked on his position (not like Boris to do a U-turn <laugh>) and authorised further arms shipments to the Saudis....

    Has anybody else seen the video of Ukrainian soldiers shooting unarmed Russian prisoners in the legs? Do we know if it’s genuine?
