    Cool your jets, man. There’s no such thing as a “Nazi country”, only a Nazi state. Ukraine is pretty much a fascist state, both from the materialist and ideological perspective. More specifically, it was Nazified by the US to be its attack dog against Russia. But I can assure you, there are loads of people in Ukraine who do not want to die for US imperialism and the interests of Western finance capital.

      I agree with the sentiment that Ukraine isn’t a “Nazi country,” but rather a country infested by a Nazi state, paramilitaries, and ideology. That said there definitely are “Nazi countries”- those countries whose very founding ethos is genocidal settler-colonialism, whose definition is one of the supremacy of one group and the dispossession and debasement of the others. The USA, Canada, Australia, and Israel all are prime examples of this- there is no redeeming any of these countries, without not merely a change of state- but a change of the notion of what the country stands for altogether, and a righting of former wrongs to the genuine best of their abilities. For such countries, it’s not merely an issue of the state- it’s an issue of their very reason for existence altogether, and only indigenism of some sort can remotely fix it.

        There’s a difference between a “country” and a “state”. Ukrainian SSR was a state (well, a republic within a bigger state). Ukraine today is a state. Two different states, one country.

        “…they’re a Nazi country” - what I wanted to point out is that the Banderite fascist puppet regime in Kiev and their dogs who shot at Belgorod and then slithered back into Kharkov do not represent all people in the country. You wouldn’t need Vicky Nuland’s billions of dollars poured in, as well as people snatchers press-ganging everyone (including disabled, blind and deaf).
