On “Morning Joe”…

An op-ed for state news agency RIA Novosti titled "What Russia should do with Ukraine" by pundit Timofei Sergeitsev has created quite a stir today

The rhetoric is truly horrific, even by the standards of what I'm used to seeing from pro-Kremlin media

Below are a few quotes:

… the  slaughter in Ukraine was discussed, and blame was placed on Putin, but separately on the soldiers.

Remarkably, the author ADMITS there is no Nazism in the Ukrainian gov't & therefore claims that phantom Nazism is "disguised as a desire for independence" and a Western path of development. Russia simply sees Ukraine's desire for independence as "Nazism." https://t.co/XwpHTtSAaO pic.twitter.com/js3pgdpbV1

The fish rots from the head down.

The article further argues: "denazification will inevitably also be a de-Ukrainization." These genocidal maniacs want to completely eradicate Ukraine and erase its national identity. pic.twitter.com/zPII0us4Ns

What comes next for the so-called Ukrainian "Nazis," which the author already admitted weren't really Nazis, but simply wanted to be free and independent?

Brainwashing and forced labor, naturally. pic.twitter.com/TcWuzNjBWk

Nazis are nit human beings:

"However, besides the elite, a significant part of the masses of the people, who are passive nazis, are accomplices to Nazism. They have supported the Nazi authorities and indulged them..."

Genicide is justified in a "just war."

"The name Ukraine can seemingly not be retained as the title of any fully denazified state formation on the territory liberated from the Nazi regime"

— Francis Scarr (@francska1) April 4, 2022

It's all about history:

"Denazification is inevitably also deukrainisation – a rejection of the large-scale artificial inflation of the ethnic element of self-identification of the population of the territories of the historical Malorossiya and Novorossiya begun by the Soviet authorities"

— Francis Scarr (@francska1) April 4, 2022

Nazis is nit people (in case you missed it the first time):

"The Banderite elite must be liquidated, its reeducation is impossible. The social 'swamp' which actively and passively supports it must undergo the hardships of war and digest the experience as a historical lesson and atonement" END

Russian state media speaks for Putin. He’s not that out of touch.
