@apropos the problem with that is they clearly stated he was fighting for Ukrainian independence. They're basically going to have to admit they're retarded and they'll clap for anyone if they support current thing.
@Terry >omg I had no idea easy excuse: "when I heard that he'd fought the Russians in WWII, I assumed that his case was similar to Finland's, or that he'd fought them during the period of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German–Soviet_Axis_talks " nuanced excuse: he wasn't a REAL Nazi, he just joined the most immediate power that was fighting the USSR. It's not like he could join the British military and free his country when the Brits were allied with the USSR, right?
but, you know, maybe some of this sudden nuance could be shared around, and not only reserved for opponents of the current enemy. These people are serial demonizers.
"No I don't just want the claps returned to me (they are now used claps), but if you could reimburse me with a check of $35,000 for my time I believe that would be acceptable."
