Not enough has been said about Ukraines Volodymyr Zelenskyy being Jewish. Not enough, anyway, by the mainstream press in the west. In Russia, though, it has been the subject of intense focus. Why?
Because the fact that a Jew was democratically elected as president by a people once subject to Soviet control is proof of a conspiracy.
A conspiracy against whom? Against Russia.
Huh?
Yeah.
Like white supremacy, antisemitism makes everything seem upside down, backward and prolapsed, because, to many people, the truth is unacceptable. Its too dangerous. It feels better to make-believe.
Vladimir Putin is a neo-Tsarist, a Christian, a militarist and a former secret policeman. You could draw a direct line between him and the Tsarist secret police who cut-and-pasted the Protocols of the Elders of Zion together 120 years ago.
Yet here we are, two weeks into a military invasion premised on a lie that the Russians must de-Nazify Ukraine. Yet the western press corps has for the most part overlooked the role of antisemitism.

1) Have the Russian invaders leave
2) Repeat step 1
There...I fixed the problem.

I doubt that his fundamental beliefs have ever changed.

...because in their moronic lingo, he's "B-B-BASED!", and "red-pilled". He won't "cuck in" to "Western degeneracy".
