Talking about other conflicts or historical events is classic goalpost moving.

Describing a pattern of behavior is evidence.

If the soviets could have got them, they would have.

The Soviets did get some of them. They got the gulag, because they were Nazis.

Lol no.

Whatever folks they sent to the gulag they wrung dry of knowledge first. Stalin had a fun habit of discarding his playthings when bored.

There are many articles on this, pick any source you find acceptable, I don't need to play whackamole and find more than one to get you started

Edit Regarding your links, I never contested paperclip Nazis or NATO involvement in Ukraine but "regime change" in Ukraine is silly. It's a defensive war to kick Russia OUT of Ukraine.

You're just mad it's "kyiv" not "kiev" and it's "Ukraine" not "the Ukraine"

Not Nazis or NATO, but the US specifically. This isn’t even seriously contested anymore. It’s an open secret that corporate media won’t touch for fear of flak and losing access to sources.
