Sorry for another link to r*ddit but I’ve been trying to keep up with what’s going on over there. This thread is about Switzerland not selling some tanks to Ukraine which have been rusting in an open parking lot and are of questionable operational status. The state-owned defense company agreed to sell the tanks, but the government blocked the sale. No reasons specified in the article (publisehd by a Euromaidan news outlet). For all we know, the Swiss blocked the sale to protect Ukrainian troops from unreliable machines that will break down on the battlefield. Just not a lot of info given. Doesn’t stop the from throwing all kinds of accusations.
The reason is that switzerland has a law that disallows it to sell weapons to a country at war. Ironically the SP introduced that law and the SVP were against it back then and now the SP really want to send those tanks and the SVP oppose the move but yeah people mad for not being part of the rules based order or some shit.
I love how the response to “Ukraine is run by Nazis” is always “There are Nazis in any other country”.
Well if that’s the case, we shouldn’t supply weapons to any other country either. Don’t supply any weapons, full stop.
Yeah the comment about Putin is literally the wHaTaBoUtIsM that libs are always worried about, because it was 100% a deflection away from Ukraine and not any real concern about Nazis in Russia
German ultraleftist in 1933 going “but there are fascists in Russia too”
Libs always pull this card when they can no longer deny documented facts.
If you ever try to educate them about the genocidal shit that their countries have done to advance imperialism, they’ll just say “yeah every country also does that”.
It’s happened so many times to me that I am actually quite concerned if we can ever manage to get them to our side.
Imagine being mad that weapons of war are rusting away from disuse.
“Putin associated with Dimitry Utkin!”
Yeah, how did that turn out? How’s Utkin doing these days?
That’s also literally all he has in the post, as if it’s some kind of dunk.
Every picture of Ukranian soldiers shows some form of fascist iconography, they revere Bandera, and all that. For Russia though? Uhhh Putin was photographed with a Nazi once, and also this random other Nazi likes Putin (but no proof they’ve ever interacted)
That proves nothing. Hitler executed the SA!
Hitler’s credentials to being a Nazi was never his being associated with Roehm.
“There are Nazis in every country!”
