      Is that really so far off though?

      Yes you fucking cretin

      Notice that the one US president who actually has been building concentration camps and operating the Gestapo, shares with you a strong dislike of NATO.

          What the fuck are you on about?

          The USSR imploded because it was a corrupt and violent kakistocracy

          I don’t know that the US had anything to do with the coup, but it didn’t work anyway, and they were much more friendly with the anti-coup people than with the coup. I could be wrong but I thought it was by hard-liners who were opposed to Gorbachev’s reforms and wanted to keep the USSR together back according to its old principles instead of liberal reforms.

          Nobody sponsored ultranationalism in Russia except by accident. The IMF and BIll Clinton sponsored gangster capitalism, which took off like gangbusters and defined the gruesome arc of the next several decades of Russian government. It’s one of the great sadnesses of the late 20th century, the promise of what could have been for the Soviet people in the wake of mostly peaceful anti-communist revolution simply getting replaced by more misery.

          Fuck the nato. Fuck putin.

          Lol

              Stalin is literally the closest thing we have to Adolf Hitler that isn’t Adolf Hitler. You realize Stalin did mass-scale ethnic cleansing? You also realize Stalin was ALLIED with the Nazis in the beginning?

      If by evolution you mean “created to oppose” then yes. The question is what global organization will be created to fight against the evil of Trump and Putin.

        Not really. NATO had many ex top Nazis at the helm directly after world war 2. The line between Nazi Germany and NATO is very straight.

        One of the most notable being top Nazi Adolf Heusinger https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Heusinger

        Where the other guy went wrong is thinking that anyone opposing NATO in this case Russia suddenly becomes objectively good.

            Who vehemetly denied being involved in that plot, was cleared by the German secret service for not being involved and was praised by Hitler for his autobiography?

          Well just because there are nazis dudes in an organization does not make it nazi itself. After the collapse of fascism, a lot of fascists kept or acquired important roles, there were nazi cunts in french administration, and i dont think it made the administration automatically nazi.

          Since NATO was not iniated by nazis, nor by Germany, and has no nazi goals, i’m not sure if we can say that the line between Nazi Germany is very straight. It exists sure, but it’s probably not straight and certainly quite thin.

            When the top of the organisation is a Nazi it sounds pretty Nazi to me.

            Combined with the NATO genocides in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, Palestine and more, it is obvious NATO is led by “Ubermenschen.”

            But hey. The truth is very inconvenient.

              The truth is complicated not inconvenient. Is NASA a Nazi organization? Are we not going to use rockets because it is Nazi tech?

              What about NATO today is Nazi. What was Nazi about NATO then?

              You’re being obtuse and intentionally a fool. Knock it off.

          I mean look nazis are bad but if we look at De-Ba’athification in Iraq things didn’t turn out so well.

          As far as I can tell is Heusinger guy was a career military officer, for the Imperial German army, the Weimer rupublic, Nazi Germany, and Post war Germany. So sure we can he should have defected from the Nazis but he wasn’t exactly a brown shirt either.
