You have to be pretty out of touch (or just dishonest) to think that russia’s war against Ukraine has anything to do with Naziism.

Russia’s war in Ukraine is about NATO being on their doorstep and the failure of negotiated peace.

That doesn’t change that the US trained and armed Banderites in Ukraine.

Russia invaded Ukraine for the same reason it started a war with Chechenia and Georgia. Let me tell you: it has absolute zero to do with NATO. NATO however, has everything to do with Russia constantly trying to invade their neighbours.

Besides, NATO is already at their doorstep with Finland. Did it change anything?

And how can you negotiate with a country like Russia? Peace deal now is an invasion in 5 years.

To be fair, in hindsight I can see why Russia felt threatened by NATO after Ukraine jumped from its lap feb 2014. But framing the Maidan events as some sort of US sponsored Nazi coup seems a bit of a tangent.

Putin felt threatened because he couldn't understand how his puppet was ousted, as he doesn't believe in the concept of grassroots political opposition or the existence of the Internet, and came to the irrational conclusion that it must have been Americans. Yet another proof that out of touch old men in power bring ruin to their people.

No, it isn’t. If it was, they wouldn’t be moving ordnance and personnel from Kaliningrad and their borders with Finland to Ukraine to bolster their invasion.

My previous assessment hasn’t changed. You are either blissfully ignorant of the reality of the war in Ukraine and russia’s aims, or you are deliberately spreading misinformation here.

I think your previous assessment is right. I asked my initial question because it's not typical for someone to use the word Banderite. Combined with an account creation in Jan. 2022 and a history of comments like this. Well, it's strange.

NATO countries have never attacked peaceful and non-aggressive governments that take good care of their own people.

Russia, obviously, is not one of them. It's their problem, not NATO's.

Is Anduril(and by extension Palantir...?) Russia connected? The -M suffix used in the weaponized version is reminiscent of Russian nomenclature("Modified" or "Modernized" in Russian spelling).

No.
