Nazi Musk and DOGE claim to be rooting out corruption and fraud
Zelensky claimed to be rooting out corruption and fraud

While Zelensky made it perfectly clear he wants to continue with the war, we should ask ourselves what does Russia want? What is so outrageous about it?
'Russia's demands were Ukraine's recognition of Russian-occupied Crimea, independence for separatist-controlled Luhansk and Donetsk, and "de-militarisation" and "de-Nazification". Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba stated that while his country was ready for talks to resume, Russia's demands had not changed.'
Crimea held a referendum and voted by a massive majority to leave Ukraine and rejoin with Russia back in 2014.
'The official result from the Autonomous Republic of Crimea was a 97 percent vote for integration of the region into the Russian Federation, with an 83 percent voter turnout, and from Sevastopol there was also a 97 percent vote for integration with Russia, with an 89 percent voter turnout.'
Since 2014 Ukraine has been bombing the people of Donbass because they want to separate from the neoliberal fascist state of Ukraine after Barack Obama's bloody coup.
'The Ukrainian Army appears to have fired cluster munitions on several occasions into the heart of Donetsk, unleashing a weapon banned in much of the world into a rebel-held city with a peacetime population of more than one million, according to physical evidence and interviews with witnesses and victims.
Sites where rockets fell in the city on Oct. 2 and Oct. 5 showed clear signs that cluster munitions had been fired from the direction of army-held territory, where misfired artillery rockets still containing cluster bomblets were found by villagers in farm fields.' NYT 2014
Of course Russia wants Ukraine to remain neutral and not become a member of NATO right alongside their border but more than that, they want them to get the Nazis out of their government. Who could blame Russia for not wanting nuclear armed Nazis right next door after what happened in WWII?
' But even though Putin is engaging in propaganda, it’s also true that Ukraine has a genuine Nazi problem — both past and present. Putin’s destructive actions — among them the devastation of Jewish communities — make clear that he’s lying when he says his goal is to ensure anyone’s welfare. But important as it is to defend the yellow-and-blue flag against the Kremlin’s brutal aggression, it would be a dangerous oversight to deny Ukraine’s antisemitic history and collaboration with Hitler’s Nazis, as well as the latter-day embrace of neo-Nazi factions in some quarters.'

And it seems we officially don't mind funding and arming Nazis in Ukraine even now.
'The State Department announced that it has lifted its ban on the use of American weapons by the notorious Azov Brigade in Ukraine, an ultra-nationalist outfit widely described as “neo-fascist," even "neo-Nazi."
The group was initially formed in 2014 as a volunteer militia to fight against Russian-backed Ukrainian separatists in the eastern Donbas region, and later incorporated into the National Guard of Ukraine, under the purview of the Interior Ministry.
“After thorough review, Ukraine’s 12th Special Forces Azov Brigade passed Leahy vetting as carried out by the U.S. Department of State,” according to a statement by the Department which referred to the “Leahy Law” that restricts American military assistance to “units of foreign security forces where there is credible information implicating that unit in the commission of gross violations of human rights." Responsible Statecraft June 2024
The United States, under the Biden administration, lifted a 2018 ban on arming real Nazis in Ukraine mainly because so many not-Nazi Ukrainians were going AWOL over there.
We arm Nazis.
And Putin is the problem?
