    Ukrainian Jews Kindly Register Yourself...

    I have absolutely no words for this one.

    Leaflet tells Jews to register in East Ukraine

    This is so absurd I'd be inclined to think it was a US tactic to undermine the Russian takeover in Ukraine, or conversely a Russian tactic designed to look like US involvement in making them look bad that could be discredited by the Russians thus making the US look like they are involved.

    But then I think about the kind of person Putin is, the shit he's pulled up to this point, and the realization that there are still very seriously screwed up parts of the world and I have to conclude that it's probably legit.

    You'd think the Russians never fought the Germans in WWII. The Russians are denying any involvement, but the Russians are also denying they are invading another country so their denial is to be expected.

    And if history repeats itself, as it often does, most will register, few will resist.

    Are there even identifying patches etc on their troops yet??!! That does not seem to bother others nearly as much as it bothers me it seems.

    Well, this would be incredibly stupid for Putin, Russia, or the people hoping to join Russia. But it would absolutely ideal for someone trying to force US/NATO involvement by triggering the post-WWII "Jews are in trouble!" political reflex. And nothing is too cynical or shady for either side. The Ukrainian anti-Russian side, which desperately wants our help, includes a significant number of genuine, real, grandpa-fought-for-Hitler Nazis, so I think this is a far more likely tactic for that side than for Putin/pro-Russia.

    Anti-semitism was a staple of both the Soviet Union and Imperial Russia - the past whose glory Putin seeks to recapture.

    And most of those Ukrainians who fought for Hitler weren't fighting for fascism or Naziism as much as they were fighting against Uncle Jo (Stalin, not Biden) and communism - remember that less than a decade before the start of the 'Great Patriotic War' Uncle Jo intentionally starved some 3.3 million Ukrainians to death.

    Something tells me that this is the work of a group trying to stir up anti government sentiment.

    It might be that but also certain elements within the gov do it if they can get away with it.

    My cousin was told to take a hike because he was not Ukrainian enough. Asked to provide a Ukrainian bloodline

    This is all the work of Pro Russian Ukranians who wish to return to the motherland, just ask them.

    If that is indeed the case then who knows. Maybe they are trying to pull something like this.

    My main thing is that the agency supposedly putting out the pamphlet doesn't know about it. If they indeed did do that then they would probably own up to it. But hey, that would assume that they are acting logically. Not something I am inclined to put money on.
