    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.

            NASA hiring a ton of Nazis is not the win you think it is. Yes the West did not abolish Nazism. Churchill was a massive anti semite and white surpremacist. They mostly fought the Nazis because Hitler was about to steal their power. Not because of conflicting ideals.

                What does Churchill, one of the main Western guys fighting Hitler, have to do with the Wests Nazism?

                Who knows. Maybe look up Henry Ford. Or that new guy Elon Musk.

                  Troll.

                  You have no point just pulling threads what a bozo.

                  Insults Churchill in one comment calls him one of the guys fighting Nazis. Eat my sack

      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.
