How is any of that relevant? If Naziism is the problem then the beating heart of Naziism is in the Kremlin. You'll note that most of Brunoli's cites are from after Russia invaded Ukraine...being invaded usually does bring out the worst in people.

Russia wrote the book on antisemitism and its real appeal to the U.S. right wing is putin's dedication to white nationalism.

All this is an interesting academic discussion, none of it gives putin the right to order a single troop or tank into Ukraine, let alone sending waves of missiles into cities and energy infrastructure. It's simply bizarre to argue that he has the right to rip Ukraine apart and kill hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians for any reason whatsoever, and even more bizarre to claim he is doing so to protect anyone on the globe from Nazis. All he has to do to accomplish that is to call his troops home.
