Prefer you’d just pipe down and go back to being irrelevant

    You shouldn’t be surprised, this is the country that overruled the Nuremberg Trials so that they wouldn’t have to reckon with having recruited a shitload of Ukrainian nazis after WWII. You might remember the recent fuss about the entire Canadian House of Commons giving a standing ovation to one of them.

      I read the article but I don’t understand enough to get how any of it overrules the Nuremberg Trials, can you give me a hint?

        Just scanned through, 2nd to last paragraph:

        While the commission’s final report stated that the numbers were grossly exaggerated, the report admitted that it had not investigated materials kept either in the Soviet Union or Eastern Bloc countries, and that it further had not investigated an addendum list of 109 names provided late in the inquiry. Further still, it was later revealed that the commission withheld evidence and ignored the findings of other war crimes trials, such as the Nuremberg trials.
