“I’m fine with Asians, but Russians are Asians. They have a completely different culture, vision. Our key difference from them is humanity.”

    No? I think there is a Nazi problem, but that’s it.

    Though uh, the Ukrainian security chief is sounding like a Nazi here…

          I’ve seen one article parroted by Russian propaganda engines saying thus. Never seen a video or any other sources saying it.

                Tbf they last posted before I responded, probably havent seen it yet. Still, based on their behavior in the rest of the thread, I’m expecting either silence or some insane goalpost shift

                  What he said was that Russians aren’t like Ukrainians. More Asian than Ukrainians are and that they think differently.

                  Context is important and your poorly translated version is NOT what he’s saying. He’s not saying all Asians are subhuman- he’s saying they have a different past and are influenced by it. He’s saying Russians are more violent based on where they come from and the past they’ve had. This is something he hadn’t counted on etc… etc… etc… since this is just a clip I don’t know where he was going with it. But it sounds more like he saying ukrainian military is more humane with regards to how they treat people than the russians.

                  MY point is that you and your type will just say a thing based purely on propaganda.

                    You and your type

                    When your worldview has no fascist undertones baked into it whatsoever and you’re definitely the good guys

                    What the fuck this is a Nazi talking point holy shit.

                    I don’t know how bad that Nazi problem is in Ukraine, but that motherfucker is a Nazi

                    Stop defending him. What’s wrong with you?

            Saving this comment for later whenever Western press gets around to covering the story.

            Supposedly he said it on live TV. That’d be a hell of a thing for Russia to lie about lol

              Oh yeah- like russia doesn’t lie about obvious things. Bombing civilians at railways, bombing civilians sheltering under theaters, bombing civilians in maternity wards, bombing civilians in retirement homes etc etc etc.

              I’d be willing to bet money someone is deliberately misquoted or changing context of somethig said.

                Lying about bombing civilians is standard in warfare. Everyone does it.

                It definitely could be a misquote! That’s why I’m saving your comment - I want to know if I’m wrong later.
