Hyperbole exists for us too (the right calling the left communists and the left calling the right nazis).

The thing is... in this part of the world (during WWII) it was literally true. The people who opposed Russian dominion had sided with the nazis at one point... and those who aligned with the Russians were literally communists.

Many people felt trapped between the two sides, not wanting either one. Others chose what they perceived as the lesser of two evils.

something as fact (like here), no one is going to believe them what-so-ever. Perhaps long ago, 3-5 years ago, this would have worked, but the constant lying by the Kremlin and tRump non-stop, is boomer-ranging against both entities. Go ahead Russia and tRump, keep lying, your own words will sink you.

No, it is FUCKING BULLSHIT! Frankly, if an invasion happens, I would not and will not be surprised to see Jews rounded up, starting with the President.
