I don't think the Russians care about Western opinion. They'll never win the info war against ZOG in the west.

De-nazification is for the domestic audience. For Slavs, particularly Russians, Nazi/Fascist has a different meaning than what it is for the west. It's essentially a western enemy that is invading or being hostile to Russians. Painting the war as a struggle against Nazism allows them to curry sympathy with the Soviet boomer demographic.

Its essentially a reboot of the great patriotic war where patriotic Russians are beating back Nazi aggressors from West.

That's what really matters: the home front. Having western sympathy is pointless because western peoples are powerless.

Russians have full sympathy in China, Iran, Serbia, and most of India. A lot of Bulgarians are sympathetic to Russia as well.

The Russian program for all practical intents is nationalist. Putin is playing right out of Solzhenytsin's playbook. Solzhenytsin was a Russian ultranationalist and traditionalist and firmly advocated for the reconquest of Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. If he was alive today, he'd be Putin's loudest supporter.

And Putin was good friends with Solzhenitsyn. He gave the writer a state funeral and erected many statues in his honor.

And Solzhenitsyn was as based as you could possibly be.

Yes, but they could have come up with a far better justification for the war than 'denazification.' That line doesn't convince anyone other than the Russian people alone. It leaves them completely exposed to political criticism.

After 8 years of occupation by Jewish criminals, the Ukraine has virtually been turned into a 3rd world country. Its a complete mess in every sense of the word. Russia stands to gain nothing by occupying the Ukraine. There is no economic incentive to invade them at all, in fact, it will be an economic drain on them. Because after Russia is victorious, they will have to spend billions on nation building.

Putin didn't invade the Ukraine out of a desire to rebuild the USSR, or to conquer lost republics. He did it because they refused to sign the Minsk agreements, because they were hosting NATO troops and weapons systems, and because they were planning to invade the Donetsk. Putin literally had no choice.
