I’m almost morbidly curious to hear how the settlers will spin this as not being rank, flagrant collaboration with neo-fascists. Not enough to go looking, but… Almost.
That’s not entirely inaccurate, while people are acknowledging this was a domestic fuck up, they’re also freaking out over Russian “propaganda” and “misinformation.” It seems like they’re more angry at the fact we gave Putin“ammunition” rather than applauding a Nazi as a whole. If this had happen at any other point in time certain people wouldn’t be freaking out as much.
…I don’t know why I don’t expect second verse, same as the first out of these people; but they are still eating Russiagate up by the pound, aren’t they :/

Western press is already pulling the “it’s complicated” angle
“Kremlin propaganda”. That’s it

Yesterday’s thread on here about this same incident had a couple lost .worlders already making good on that trope.
The lines I am seeing as of right now:
“How could we possibly have known!? Oh the horror!”
"Well, he only served with a nazi regiment, but he was obviously coerced-he volunteered? Shit. Well he was coerced into volunteering!
“Oh yeah, well Russian Propaganda! We need to stand against anything Russia says, even if it is true”
Russian trolls cynically using plentiful evidence to convince the west there is a Nazi problem in Ukraine
