President signed the legislation championed by late senator Lindsey Graham last month but has waived the restrictions as they were due to come into effect

Maybe “the West” no longer exists. There’s just the US and then there’s Europe, and each of them is doing their own thing.

    Natural resources is the only reason we ever fight wars in the modern age.

    That’s the thing. America never “defeated fascism”. The Soviet Union defeated fascism. America swooped in to save fascism from beneath Soviet boots, and we’ve been fostering ever since.

    NATO is the Fourth Reich

      Again, you’re victim to propaganda. The SU and GDR proclaimed stricter and swifter and better denazification, even built a anti-fascist-wall, but in reality they not only employed former NSDAP politicians, but even doctors who participated in euthanasia-programs of disabled children. They even helped them conceal their identity because it wouldn’t have the right look.

      And the Soviet Union had its own nuclear program with their own Nazi scientists.

      It was Realpolitik on both sides, stop ignoring one side’s faults because you like it more.

        Nazi politicians and doctors? I’m calling bullshit. You made that up.

        Former Nazi scientists were taken at gunpoint and held as prisoners by the Soviets, then either repatriated to Germany or sent to prisons or executed for their crimes after all the information had been extracted.

        They sure as fuck weren’t running their space program or going to Disneyland.

        You’re a straight up Nazi apologist who can eat shit.
