¿HAY QUE CONDENAR O NO LA GLORIFICACIÓN DEL NAZISMO? 27 de enero de 2025 Thierry Meyssan

–Rusia intervino militarmente en Ucrania para desnazificar ese país. Pero las potencias occidentales afirman que en Ucrania no hay nazis y que lo que quiere Rusia es invadir y anexar el país. Esta aparente incomprensión ha convertido la operación especial rusa en una guerra abierta. La realidad es que hechos similares a los registrados en Ucrania se han producido en los países bálticos desde 2005… e incluso en el Parlamento Europeo, desde 2016. Esos hechos demuestran que en realidad no se trata de una mera incomprensión sino de una estrategia deliberada de la OTAN. Esa alianza militar acaba de movilizar 53 Estados para oponerse en la ONU a la adopción de la tradicional resolución contra la glorificación del nazismo.
