Putin is against Nazis in Ukraine, but he loves them in Russia (disturbing videos at link)

The Russian government is now claiming that it had to invade Crimea, Ukraine in order to stop “Nazis” from taking over the country.

Russian UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin has been especially vocal about the Ukrainian Nazi threat, repeatedly lashing out at western governments for supporting what he calls “fascist thugs” in the country.

Russian propaganda organ RT (aka Russia Today) was more direct a week ago when, after expressing concern that the Ukrainians were taking down statues of Lenin that were still oddly ubiquitous in the country, “Exit Communism. Enter Nazism?”

It’s therefore more than a tad ironic that Russian President Vladimir Putin, while terribly concerned about Ukraine’s made-up “Nazi threat,” couldn’t care less about his own very real fascist thug problem at home.

Note how "Occupy Pedophilia" actually targets kids as well. Is that irony?


15 year old boy abducted by Occupy Pedophilia, after being promised money for sex, then outed to his family after he said his father would beat him if he found out he was gay.

They are almost as convenient as those who are now so "concerned" about GLBT people and Jews.

I was told Putin was stopping the next Hitler from rising. He obviously wouldn't support fascists in his own country. Duh.
