Every Romanian is waiting for the liberation from the red fkn army from 1939. They fought along the Germans for the same reason. It is not escalation, call it freedom. pic.twitter.com/XhxJW2xgWM
See? Geez, how many in the West are not Nazis? The UK, the US, and France supported Germany attacking the USSR. They were trying to get Hitler to destroy the USSR and leave the West alone. They only supported the USSR when he conquered much of the West. Romania, Slovakia, Czechia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, Austria, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Estonia, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Latvia all had popular governments that collaborated with the Nazis. The Swedes traded with Nazi Germany and many things for their arms industry during the entire war.
Others had unpopular collaborationist governments, such as France, Denmark, Belgium, Norway, Poland, Serbia, Greece, and Albania. However, the West supported the collaborationist government in Greece against the partisans who were heavily Communist. The pro-Western government that the West formed after the war was full of Nazi collaborators. They set off a wave of terror all over the country, arresting, beating, torturing and in many cases executing rebels or people suspected of supporting them.
Whereas East Germany threw out most of the Nazis from their government, the West German state ended up being stacked from top to bottom with former Nazis. The US spirited many of these Nazis over to the US to help us on our science program. This was called Operation Paperclip. The West supported Ukrainian nationalists after the war. They were Nazi collaborators. As soon as the war ended, the West spirited huge numbers of these Nazis to the US, Canada, and Australia. That’s why there are so many Ukrainians in Canada.
It seems like Germany was just a sacrificial pawn of the West: “Go on, take on Russia.” The West is using Ukraine in a similar fashion. Ukraine military was nothing before Western support. Germany’s soul was not owned by the West though, so they had to be crushed.
The Swedish connections to Nazi Germany you’ve pointed out amaze me. It’s the opposite of their soft image today.
