Putin’s talk about Nazis is NOT propaganda
There really is Nazism in Ukraine, but it is not as defined by the Elites and has nothing to do with anti-Semitism. Russians got to know Nazis up close and personal in WW II and know what they are.
No, Putin was not making propaganda in his talk with Tucker. There really is Nazism in Ukraine, but it is not as defined by the Elites and has nothing to do with anti-Semitism. Russians got to know Nazis up close and personal in WW II and know what they are.

My thanks to my multinomial friend for this question:
Can you please tell me what you guys [meaning me and Putin] mean when you talk about Nazis? I thought it was the one ruse that Putin used. It’s the only thing I’ve ever heard him mention which I didn’t take seriously. I always assumed he talks about Nazis because that’s language that the herd understands, or think they understand.
But you also talk about Nazis. I know you two are really smart, and informed; and I have never doubted for one moment the honour, integrity, credibility, et cetera, of you guys.
So can you please tell me what you’re both talking about when you talk about Nazis and denazification?
It usually means someone who doesn’t publicly swoon over Jews and Judaism. Usually they're talking about someone who rejects Zionism, Holocaustianity, and that kind of nonsense. Nazis are basically anyone doesn’t embrace America’s romance with Jews. So you and Vladimir Putin must be using the word in a different way.
Answer:
Regarding your last paragraph, YES, of course we mean it in a different way than the Philistines (Western Elites) do.
To understand Putin and me (as Forrest Gump said to Lt. Dan about Bubba, No, Sir, we are not related), you must understand what the poison of West-think has done to our minds. Here is my commentary on that: https://donhank.substack.com/p/mainstream-media-are-the-pathogens
Here is my alternative explanation of what Nazism is: The US must be denazified - by Don Hank - Don’s Substack
In light of this question, I must revisit my commentary on Nazism.
I had said that Nazism is very close to the standard – prescriptive – definition, with some notable exceptions.
Standard definition:
National socialism (or Nazism) is a radical, antisemitic, racist, ultranationalist, populist, social-Darwinist, anticommunist, antidemocratic and antipluralist ideology.
I think Putin and I would essentially agree that Nazism is most of these things, but I would add that its ultranationalism, as encapsulate in the slogan Deutschland über alles, or Germany over all or everything, is matched by ultra-American slogans: the Exceptional Nation, the Indispensable Nation, the Leader of the Free world, the defender of democracy and freedom, etc.
I would also add to a more descriptive definition the irrational fear and hatred of all things Russian. Especially in Neocon-controlled America, this is the salient feature of our peculiar form of American Nazism. Neoconservatism is nothing more than a US manifestation of Nazism, and it is not much different from the Third Reich form. Of course, it is obvious why the standard definition does not mention this Russophobia as a feature. It is interesting to note that the Ukrainian form of Nazism also features this Russia hate and even more prominently than the US form. But let’s keep in mind that it would be impossible for Washington to support the Nazi regime in Kiev as wholeheartedly as it does unless Washington were imbued with clear-cut features of Nazi ideology.
Our descriptive definition also does not limit the racism included in the standard definition to anti-Semitism, and that is key. Israel’s form of Nazism, which we can call Zionazism, is racist in that it despises Palestinians in general but also more generally Arabs and Muslims – especially Iranians,
The American form of social Darwinism is not displayed as prominently as in the German form (which despises useless eaters), but capitalism in America is actually supported by a view of capitalism as a manifestation of survival of the fittest in the market place.
Anticommunism has been carried over to the American system, but many Americans seem to have lost sight of the definition of communism. US conservatives for some reason accuse Soros of being a commie, but a more predatory capitalist you’d be hard put to find.
The anti-democratic feature of Hitler’s Nazism carried over to the US system, but we pretend that a state that imprisons journalists like Assange, sends cash to Nazi Kiev and supports genocide in the Middle East is somehow a model of democracy.
One might also argue that anti-pluralism is not a prominent feature of the Nazism that thrives in the US, although the Elites here do their best to suppress diversity of thought.
To recap, the standard West-think definition of Nazism has been elaborated by the people we generally call the “Elites,” who are generally those who seek to control us. It is a definition in the category of “prescriptive language.” Free thinking people reject the phony prescriptions of those who seek to control and limit us little guys. We sometimes describe them as imperialists, advocates of the Unipolar world order, Neo-Colonialists, racists, Neocons, globalists, etc.
We therefore must default to “descriptive” definitions of words, the kind of definitions evolved organically over the millennia by anonymous little people (who have been variously called “commoners” in England, “grassroots“ in the US, hoi poloi, proletarians (or proles), The People, el Pueblo, il Popolo, le Peuple, das Volk, Narod, dhimos, renmin, etc). We are terribly disorganized and scatter-brained, not to mention brainwashed, but we outnumber the organized manipulators who seek to usurp our power. And water seeks its own level. Like the farmer rebels in Europe, we will eventually figure it out.
As I stated in my above-linked article on Nazism, the Russians have had many more years of conflict with Nazis and are therefore the people best qualified to identify them. The Nazis killed thousands of Russians in the Siege of Leningrad and almost 30 million during WW III, especially during Operation Barbarossa.
Of course, the German Nazis of the Third Reich are well known, and because of them, we benighted Westerners generally make the mistake of defaulting to the definition of Nazis as Jew haters, which is too narrow to be useful. The Russians know the Nazi genre goes far beyond this, which is why Russia thinks of the Kiev regime as Nazi even though Zelensky is a Jew. Don’t ask me how a Jew could support Nazism. Ask Zelensky. I must marvel at people who think official Ukraine is free of Nazis when in fact, the birthday of notorious Jew killer and Hitler collaborator Stepan Bandera is an official holiday celebrated throughout Ukraine every Jan 1.
We can therefore say, ironically but with some accuracy, that Israel is the new Third Reich and the Palestinians are the new Jews.
But that kind of statement boggles our West-thinking minds, and this is because we Westerners have had the cognitive tools destroyed that we need to resist the manipulations of the Elites – who use deceptive means in the media, the think-tanks, the churches and synagogues, government institutions, schools and universities, Hollywood and Big Entertainment and the workplace to overcome our resistance. They have destroyed the mental tool kits we need to survive their machinations.
Thus, we are for now reduced to slaves.
As for the definition of denazification, Putin explained that, I thought, really well in his lecture to Tucker.
Questions like these are important for us to discuss in our long journey out of the mental slavery I call West-think.
Keep them coming,

MOSCOW, February 12 – RIA Novosti. The Germans no longer consider Russia enemy number one, according to the results of a study conducted as part of the Munich Security Index 2024 report.
Thus, a survey in Germany showed that Russia took seventh place in the threat rating, although the year before it was in first. Residents of Germany are more concerned about mass migration, radical Islamism, cyber attacks, organized international crime, destruction of natural habitats and growing inequality.
“German citizens consider Russia only the seventh most important problem, and Italians consider it the 12th,” the publication states.
Representatives of Japan and Great Britain (first place), Canada (third place) and the USA (fourth place) continue to consider Russia one of the main threats.
According to the report's authors, although the conflict in Ukraine "marked a change of era" for the G7 countries, two years later "there are signs that its influence on threat perceptions is weakening." Thus, among the countries of the association, Russia rose in the ranking from 15th place in 2021 to first in 2022, and in 2023 dropped to fourth.
"
“China, India and South Africa continue to view Russia as an ally rather than a threat, and Brazil is undecided,” the study says.
The survey was conducted on several points: how great the risk is for the country as a whole, whether it will increase or decrease during the year, how real the risk is, and also how ready the country is to respond to the threat. In total, 12 thousand people from the G7 countries and some BRICS countries took part in the study, conducted from October 24 to November 16, 2023.

Underground: The Russian Armed Forces hit military and infrastructure facilities in Nikolaev
DONETSK, February 12 – RIA Novosti. The Russian army hit military and infrastructure facilities in Nikolaev on Sunday night, Nikolaev underground coordinator Sergei Lebedev told RIA Novosti.
"
“In total, Nikolaev residents counted ten strikes in three waves. The first wave was attacks on the port structure of Nikolaev. The missiles flew to the Seaport, to the port of Olvia and to the Black Sea shipyard in the direction of Kabotazhny Descent,” the agency’s interlocutor said.
He also provided video footage of the strikes.
The Black Sea Shipyard is the largest shipyard in Ukraine; in Soviet times, aircraft-carrying cruisers of the USSR Navy were built here.
Night streets in Ukraine - RIA Novosti, 1920, 02/09/2024
Ukrainian media reported explosions in Odessa, Ochakov and Kharkov
February 9, 23:43
The second wave of attacks hit the Nikolaev oil depot and the Zorya-Mashproekt plant, where military products are produced.
Zorya-Mashproekt is part of the military-industrial state holding Ukroboronprom and produces gas turbine equipment, including for warships.
According to Lebedev, the management of the enterprise brought workers from Western Ukraine to work at defense facilities and separated this part of the plant with checkpoints.
"
“At night, dozens of ambulances rushed around Nikolaev. The hospitals are now full, and in the city morgue, according to the agents, only the “cool” are placed; ordinary Ukrainian troops are stacked on the street in black bags next to the morgue,” the underground worker added.
In addition, as a result of attacks on the Alexandria junction station in the Kirovograd oblast, two trains with equipment and ammunition for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as about 20 units of foreign military equipment, were destroyed, Lebedev said, referring to his colleagues from the Kirovograd oblast.
According to the underground, the Ukrainian Armed Forces used a large railway junction in Alexandria as a transshipment point. The Odessa-Kharkov and Kyiv-Dnepropetrovsk railways pass through the city.

Genocide has cost Gaza over 12,000 innocent children
This is unspeakable – but we must speak of it, and we must make it stop.
by Kathryn Shihadah, reposted from Patheos, Grace Colored Glasses
We are all about babies today. Babies and toddlers. Because what’s not to love about children. They are innocent and energetic, joyful, and loaded with potential.
With some exceptions.
Israeli leaders have declared, “it is an entire nation that is responsible,” and “all of Gaza should be erased” and “there is no such thing as uninvolved civilians in Gaza” and “Now we all have one common goal—erasing the Gaza Strip from the face of the earth.”
Below are the names of just some of the children whose lives were stolen from them by Israel. (Find the complete list here.)
If you are the parent, grandparent, aunt, or uncle of a young child, remind yourself: these children were just like your loved one. They were loved, doted upon, cuddled, photographed incessantly. Their families had dreams of their future happiness and success.

Former UF Senate candidate caught stealing a pro-Palestinian sign in Turlington Plaza
The student was barred from campus
By Annie Wang, The Independent Alligator, February 9, 2024
https://www.alligator.org/article/2024/02/turlington-sign-protest
A UF student was barred from campus for stealing a pro-Palestinian sign from a protester in Turlington Plaza.
Holden Zeichner, a 20-year-old former UF independent Student Government Senate candidate, robbed and assaulted a man who was peacefully protesting in support of Palestinian people in Turlington Plaza.
Zeichner shoved the protester, seized his pro-Palestine sign and used it to hit the protester on the head, according to a video of the incident sent to The Alligator. Zeichner then proceeded to tear the sign apart, despite witnesses calling for him to return it.
After the incident, Zeichner was detained, and he has since been issued a trespass warning by the University Police Department, which bars him from campus for three years.
UF Spokesperson Cynthia Roldan said a sworn complaint on charges of robbery was filed against Zeichner, and UF condemned his actions.
“The University of Florida has been absolutely clear about this: We will protect speech,” Roldán wrote. “Theft and vandalism are crimes, and UFPD will prosecute anyone who breaks the law. UF will both keep our students safe and protect speech. Vandalism is not speech — it’s crime.”
