Far enough. And tribal politics also in part because we are a country of varying and differing cultures (nations). I guess it’s just the idealistic streak in me of wanting some more unity and not just when planes fly into buildings.
They have power. That’s not why Russia invaded.
Also to note, there is no such thing as a non-tribalist.

Could be a reason. One among many. Complexity be like that.
Zelensky screwed up.
I don’t know. It seems to have been a bad call.
I was only addressing the idea that Putin launched an invasion to de nazify Azov Battalion.
It is dumb to keep up that charade.
There were protesters against our response then, too.

The same type of people who would just deny being a part of (a) tribe(s) are the same “intellectuals” who think Humanity is somehow a separate term than Nature.

May be. They been there since june 22 1941 though when the first bombs dropped on Kiev.
No reason to legitimize them. My guess is they forced him to.

Just about the time it seems to be fading away, Zelensky hits it with the defibrillator
Which would mean they do indeed have political power.
They are funded by the ukranian government. They sure as heck have power. Their police force is replete with them even if they are just supporters and not outright members
Russians have a huge issue with Nazis, and it is not just tiki torches and bulging veins.
Here is Putin laying flowers at the mass grave that includes his older brother along with a million others who died in the siege for Leningrad.
I’m the choir.

Wow. Wait until you find out about Wagner Group.
Mmmmmmm…Nazis…
More than 30 people have been killed and more than 100 were wounded after two Russian rockets struck Kramatorsk station in east Ukraine.
The Donetsk governor, Pavlo Kyrylenko, said thousands of civilians were at the station trying to evacuate to safer areas of Ukraine when it was hit, before an anticipated major offensive.
75 years later it’s become performative. Also gives an enemy to the people. Real or imagined. But yes 20+ Millions lives lost. Even i still use may 9th as A Day of remembrance because my grandfather was first a colonel in a tank battalion and then in the kgb. Shhh don’t tell anyone
