Putin said Russia has delivered tactical nuclear warheads to Belarus and said Russia could use similar weapons in Ukraine, but there was no need to do so more than a year into the invasion.

I’m not sure if you wilfully missed the point of my comment or if I wasn’t explicit enough. I wasn’t commenting on whether or not that was Putin’s motivation. My complaint was with the logic: “there can’t be a Nazi problem in Ukraine, because Zelenskyy is Jewish”. That’s it. That logic is faulty and disingenuous, because that implies there is not a nazi problem in Ukraine, when there absolutely is.

There is a nazi problem in pretty much every country, it may just have a different label. This does not justify declaring war.

I’ll just quote myself though honestly I shouldn’t respond:

I wasn’t commenting on whether or not that was Putin’s motivation.

Note also that did I did not comment on the justness of declaring war.
