• SBS, today: Volodymyr Zelenskyy compares Russia’s tactics to Nazis’ ‘Final Solution’.
“You remember it and will never forget it for sure,” [Zelenskyy] said on Sunday, according to the Associated Press. “But you should hear what is coming from Moscow now. They are saying the same words now: ‘final solution,’ but this time it’s about us.”
The Ukrainian president also noted that the date that Russia invaded Ukraine — February 24 — was the same day that the Nazi Party was founded in Germany in 1920. He added that a Russian missile has already targeted Babi Yar, a Ukrainian site that holds the nation’s main Holocaust memorial…
“His criticism of Israel was legitimate, as was his raising expectations of us, but not his infuriating and ridiculous comparison to the Holocaust and his attempt to rewrite history and to erase the role of the Ukrainian people in the attempts to exterminate the Jewish people,” Zionist Party leader Bezalel Smotrich said, according to The Jerusalem Post.
Israel’s Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel tweeted that while he “supports the Ukrainian people in heart and deed…comparison to the horrors of the Holocaust and the final solution is outrageous.”
Yuval Steinitz, who serves as part of Israel’s Likud Party, said the Ukrainian president’s statement “borders on Holocaust denial.”
Struck by the cynical idiocy of Zelenskyy’s historical allusion – to say nothing of his crass tailoring of propaganda for each national audience he addresses – I thought it might be interesting to see if any other event conceivably relevant to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine had occurred on 24 February. Bingo: US ground operations began in the Persian Gulf War. If Putin is telegraphing messages via the calendar – which I doubt – that coincidence is more loaded.
Blame Xi for 24 February. The Chinese had prior knowledge of Putin’s invasion plan and requested that it be delayed until after the close if the Winter Olympics.
As for Babi Yar:
let me see the Russians have bombed apartments, hospitals, schools and where they know people are trying to avoid the bombing.
Sounds like the only idiot around here is you.
The Gulf war started because Iraq invaded kuwait. Neither desert storm nor desert shield started on that date.
Why am I surprised that Non Mentis supports the side that is involved with corrupt US politicians and their families?
no links with Trump or his cronies but I am interested why there are so many people who swallow Russian propaganda and then repeat here even though it has already been discredited as Steve from Brisbane has shown.
Ignorant and lazy.
Is CL going to correct his inaccurate claim?

Who mentioned Trump? I was referring to a different group of corrupt politicians and families. You are not familiar with Hunter Biden and the “Big Guy”? The Clintons? Smaller players like the families of Pelosi and Romney? Is your head so far buried in the Trump sand that these have escaped your attention?
Back to pre-school with you, though i have little hope that you would learn anything.
You quote Steve from Brisbane as an authority? ROFLMAO.
No you said corrupt politicians and Trump is the largest in all the senses of the word.
Are you alluding to the laptop the FBI had had in their possession for over a year.
The FBI like everyone else can examine Biden’s tax affairs to their hearts content unlike your very large mate and then after that they can look at his bank details and anything else they think is relevant. It is very easy to see discrepancies.
Guess what nothing not even any gossip.
You are as stupid as you make out.

Biden has spent effectively his whole working life as a politician. What is his current net worth, and what wise investments did he make to get there?

Would that be the laptop that was certified to be Wussian disinformation, until it wasn’t? The “10% for the Big Guy” laptop? But absolutely noooo corruption there, no sirree!
And whatever happened to the tax investigation that the DoJ was conducting into Trump’s tax affairs? It seems to have gone verrrry quiet? Do you seriously think that if they had found anything , it would not have been leaked by now?
Still, you doo seem to live in cloud cuckoo land, so perhaps you do.
Stick to trying to teach apprentice bank tellers how to balance their cash trays. It is a bit above your capability level, but not as far above as any of the subjects you try to comment about here.
If Biden is so squeaky clean, why don’t they investigate him as much as they’ve tried to investigate Trump. I mean what have they got to lose? If Trump is as obviously corrupt as you say he is then regardless of the truth, Biden has nothing to worry about, they cant pin anything on Trump so Biden should be ok, shouldn’t he? We all know why he keeps avoiding scrutiny though, because the laptop is real and has been the whole time and the constant investigation of Trump is a distraction from the truth.
