Apparently the Russian Orthodox church now says Ukraine has to be bombed to fend of the gays or something??

Sort of. If I understood it correctly, to save Russia from having to stage Gay Pride parades, which are the sinister loyalty test the West puts on all its enclaves. Yes, I know it isn't funny, but allow me some bitter laughter. Of course, Putin being hand in glove with the Russian Orthodox Church isn't new - remember that Femen activist band who got imprisoned for screaming "Mother of God, damn Putin" in a church? And given the patriarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church were pissed off when the Ukrainian Orthodox Church declared independence and were recognized by the Greek Orthodox Church as such, they have even more motive to fall in line with the Czar.

I really hope they STFU about that now.

Alas. It's more like "they mistreated and killed the Donbass population first, and no one is talking about that!"

but from the outside Ukraine doesn't seem to have a larger Nazi problem than, say, France with its multiplying right wing extremist blocks. Or you know, Germany.

Yes. I'm still cringing in shame every time I think of us having the bloody AFD in parliament. Partially financed by Putin, btw. If there is one cheering thing about this is that he won't be able to afford to pay them as well as he used for in the foreseeable future right now.
