Really.
Kinda takes Godwin's Law to a whole new level.fter previously claiming that Ukraine was led by "neo-Nazis"—despite the Eastern European nation having a Jewish president—Russia is now arguing that the United States and Europe are at risk of being taken over by "Liberal-Nazi dictatorships."
Russian President Vladimir Putin bizarrely claimed that Ukraine needed to be "de-Nazified" and that it was led by "neo-Nazis" ahead of his internationally condemned invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24. In reality, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky is Jewish and won his 2019 election with nearly three-quarters of the vote. At the time Zelensky took office, Ukraine's prime minister was also Jewish.
Now, Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service director Sergey Naryshkin has claimed in a new article published on the website of Russia's National Defense magazine that Western nations are at risk of falling under "Nazi" control.
"We will see the rise in the West of genuine civic consciousness that's not directed toward the mythical Russian threat, but toward its own leaders that are forcing ordinary Europeans and Americans to pay for their reckless geopolitical moves and miscalculations from their own pockets," Naryshkin contended in the article, Russia's state-run Tass news agency first reported.
"Such an awakening can only be welcomed, although it's possible that it will end not by the coming to power in the U.S. and European states of nationally oriented, sensible and realist politicians, but by the establishment of complete and undisguised liberal-Nazi dictatorships in the Western area," the Russian intelligence official added.
