Nazi villages-masquerading-as-countries moment.

Come on guys he just joined the side of Nazi Germany, then joined the fascists again against the Soviet Union.... look look he didn't actively take part in the hauling away of undesirables. He was tasked with "protecting private property". Then he fought against the Soviets because of how mean the Soviets were to the Nazi collaberators.
Oh and ahh certainly never mind the monument in Chicago.
Lithuania monument for 'Nazi collaborator' prompts diplomatic row
Adolfas Ramanauskas-Vanagas commanded Lithuania's resistance to Soviet occupation after World War Two.
But the Simon Wiesenthal Center, which researches the Holocaust, says he also led a vigilante gang that persecuted Jews after the 1941 Nazi invasion.
Lithuania has accused Russia of making false statements.
The foreign ministry said on Tuesday it had summoned the Russian embassy representative in Vilnius in protest and called on Moscow to stop spreading disinformation about Ramanauskas's "impeccable reputation".
It has also accused the Simon Wiesenthal Center of making false accusations.
But Efraim Zuroff, the Center's head in Jerusalem, said that Lithuania had to confront its history. "They're not telling the people the truth and they're not facing the truth," he told the BBC.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
According to prosecutors, the men acted as part of an organised group carrying out tasks assigned by Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU, aimed at “destabilising the Lithuanian state”.
Defacing a shitty anti-soviet memorial does not strike me as something the GRU would be ordering. Really stretching believability with this one.
Everything exposing Nazi history isRussian poopooganda sweetie!
Lithuanian state must be really fragile if it can be destabilized by throwing paint at a shitty statue.
Why on earth would it stretch believability? Putin literally paid my dog to eat my homework.
What's the time in moscow?
i completely misread this comment, ignore this reply
I imagine how you must have misread it bc I stg one out of every three libs says shit like that in earnest
Yeeeeeeeep it was only my head going "hold on that's a stalin profile picture something doesn't add up here" that made me re-read it.
my favorite part about the "find the vicious fascist anti-semite" game among these anti-soviet memorials is that it takes slightly more than zero effort to win.
Adolfas Ramanauskas (6 March 1918 – 29 November 1957), code name Vanagas (lit. 'The Hawk'), was a one of the leaders of the Lithuanian partisans and the anti-Soviet resistance.

this national hero was born in the US. which i'm sure is a coincidence with his rabid anti-communism and leaping to assist the nazis when they invaded.
But the Simon Wiesenthal Center, which researches the Holocaust, says he also led a vigilante gang that persecuted Jews after the 1941 Nazi invasion.

also, bonus points for realizing that one actually has to search for the name of the specific guy alongside "simon wisenthal" and "lithuanian", because there are apparently a lot of old nationalist heroes to the current lithuanian government that were pretty overtly right-wing & anti-Semitic nazi collaborators.
They're doing more work destabilizing the state by making a big deal out of this. Could have just cleaned the statue, blamed it on hooligans and moved on...
Don't they know their country is full of libs who do not care about "Politics" ... Like how incompetent do you have to be.
Oh right the people in charge don't even participate in society so how would they know what's going on lol
They probably want a state of emergency to justify massive privatisations.
Everything has already been privatized. They want to justify militarization and open fascism, starting with persecution and deportations of ethnic Russians.
Do they need an emergency for that? It's probably not worth the effort trying to decipher their motives. It's like trying to decipher what's the motivation of Kaja Kallas
But I do think they're biting way more than they can chew constantly making it seem like Russia is preparing for an invasion. Maybe they're being played by Washington to escalate tensions tho' that's what I'm worried about. If there is one country known for starting wars its...
I might ascribe to much agency to what's probably just reaction. But the banality is even more depressing.
The fuck is a "lithuania"?
It's something poland coughs up when it's sick
least cringe baltic nation
Lithuania is unironically less unhinged than Estonia and Latvia.
It probably actually is. It's less cringe than eSStonia. It's just that "least cringe baltic nation" is like "least evil American president".
It's always a dick measuring competition between the 3 Baltic nations.
We even fight over who is slightly less bigoted.
Except for when it's time to oppose communism, then we will come together and form a united line.
