so do we think this is infighting, the US cleaning up potential whistleblowers, or russia for some reason?
Cleanup. The maidan generation of politicians are outliving their usefulness, and it’s time for the empire to cut the grass and start liquidating the ones that might become problematic.
Denazification for PR reasons. Critical support? Though I guess it kinda misses the point if you just put younger Nazis in.
I mean, it’s kinda like MTG’s anti-israel stance, in the sense that they came to the right conclusion through all the most hideous, evil reasoning.
‘Parliament speaker’? I went and did the mandatory nazi check on him. It’s not even a tenuous link - right at the top of his Wikipedia page:
"In 1991 he founded the far-right Social-National Party of Ukraine together with Oleh Tyahnybok; the party combined radical nationalism and neo-Nazi features (by its name and the “Wolfsangel”-like sign). In 1998–2004 Parubiy led the paramilitary organization of SNPU, the Patriot of Ukraine.
Go a little deeper than Wikipedia -
"UKRAINIAN progressives called today for the immediate dismissal of parliament speaker Andriy Parubiy after he said on TV that Hitler had been history’s “greatest democrat.”** Deleted, this part was Russian propaganda and the quote was taken far out of context to mean the opposite to what been said. I had not done due diligence in research (as I said in the comment, but still) **
Regardless, he did start a militant neo Nazi party.
And yet, the it’s on the front page of the ‘neutral’ BBC, with absolutely no mention of it at all. They only state that he helped bring down Yanukovich in Maidan times.
(https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjw6ep37469o)
They go as far as giving these rather revealing quotes, once you know the context:
"Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha described Parubiy as “a patriot and statesman who made an enormous contribution to the defence of Ukraine’s freedom, independence and sovereignty”.
Sybiha added: “He was a man who rightfully belongs in the history books.”
Former President Petro Poroshenko said the killing of Parubiy was “a shot fired at the heart of Ukraine”.
“Andriy was a great man and a true friend. That is why they take revenge, that is what they are afraid of,” he wrote on Telegram, pointing to Parubiy’s contribution to building the Ukrainian army."
Well I never.
This guy was a neo-Nazi, him and his neo-Nazi buddies were big part of the Euromaidan coup.
Get rekt fascist scum
Good riddance. Another Nazi dead.
