"I’ll just restrict myself to noting that Russia is not a signatory to the Minsk 1 or 2 agreements (they were members of the Trilateral Contact Group, but the agreements involve the Donetsk and Lugansk regions as well as the Kyiv government)."

so the Package of Measures for the Implementation of the

Minsk Agreements was not part of the minsk agreement?

yet it was signed by Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Ukraine, M. Yu. Zurabov...

Geschichtsrevisionismus oder nur einfache Luege?

Thank you for pointing out that it was Kiev that failed to honor Minsk 2.

The puppet parrots are completely silent on this point, as expected.

Well, it's only natural isn't it?

The further east and south you go, the shorter the time for the "any and all debates about the Holocaust* and war crimes is equal to denialism and fascism"-narrative to have become internalised and endemic to a nations people.

People outside the old US-centric sphere of influence during the Cold War simply hasn't grown up with neither the factual information nor the emotional propagandistic misuse of the Holocaust to stifle debate about pretty much any issue - hence why it is so common among arab moslems to laud Hitler and nazism, Mein Kampf sometimes being the most best selling western book in some nations.

Or why you get mangas and similar combining the "sexy school girl chic"-aesthtic so popular in partsof Asia with Wehrmacht and SS uniforms... it's simply too culturally distant and irrelevant to them for them to have the same reaction europeans have been conditioned to have by rote.

And we know how dangerous it is to make a topic anathema.

*Meaning only the jews of course. Any mention of the millions of others, including germans deemed "unfit for life" murdered in accordance with nazi ideology is apparently right-wing anti-semitism, the logic being that it detracts attention from the plight of the jews, since they were specially targeted.

You do not want to know what descendants and relatives to the few surviving gypsies feel about that.
