I feel that it should be pointed out that Trump is also a fascist.
No-one said he is a Nazi, just that he's a fascist. There are multiple different flavours of fascism – it isn't all literally shooting people in the head and ordering thousands of people into death camps, it can be more subtle and insidious than that.
Also worth mentioning that fascism generally doesn't start with the ethnic cleansing and mass murder, it starts with things like; scapegoating minorities, being overly tough on crime, and peddling misinformation. It takes quite a few years for the fascists to gain enough power to be able to enact the kind of policies that are generally pretty unpopular among normal people.
Go check out what UN peacekeepers do in war-ravaged countries, in fact, recall abu ghirab and other US atrocities. Let’s not collectively assume all Russian soldiers are “animals.” We’re all animals and bloodlust isn’t as far from us as we may prefer to think.
You're excusing Soviet atrocities by saying "what about the US." Try doing the same trick to excuse Nazi atrocities.
Tankies are disgusting.
