Someone in the govt got a old Ukranian dude to speak to the parlement, and they all applauded him for fighting Russia in WW2, forgetting that the people who faught Russia in WW2 were the Nazis.

They had accidentally invited a literal Nazi to speak, and applauded him for it.

the people who faught Russia in WW2 were the Nazis.

Not all of them though. Division of Poland and Winter War come to mind.

They said he was ukrainian who fought the Russians in ww2, that meant he fought as a nazi.

It wasn't acidental btw. His own granddaughter posted that he met with Zelensky and Trudeau before. Also he lived in Canada for long, all of them were one short inquiry of getting to know who he is, and that's why they have assistants etc. Sure, the western politicians have mostly shit for brains, but not one of 300 people even said "wait a minute".
