Its best to also talk with larger context in mind, not whitewashing Bandera and Hitler.

Stalin made a deal with Hitler to split up Poland. Surely anyone who doesn't condemn Stalin's legacy must be essentially a Nazi?

Zelensky is a Jew, that is why he wants to support Nazism. Obama is black, so he can never bomb Libya. You going for this logic, amirite?

No. I'm saying that in complex wars with many parties, it can be simplistic to label people as dedicated to a cause when they have merely made an alliance of convenience. What you're talking with Zelensky is different. Nazism is a direct threat to his ethnicity.

I'm not sure where Obama enters into it, though. Black people have been killing other Black people in Africa for a long time. When ethnicity is involved, it's usually tribal instead of racial.
