  1. “If it is a war of civilization, well, I hope the civilization in Ukraine will lose,” said Marcel de Graaff, a Dutch far-right lawmaker, from a TV studio just inside the European Parliament last October.

    Another far-right politician jumped in.

    “Ukraine has to become a demilitarized buffer zone,” argued Maximilian Krah, a far-right politician from Germany, addressing the other four participants in the studio. The debate was organized by Voice of Europe, an outlet which Czech and Belgian authorities said in March was a front for Russian propaganda and disinformation.

  2. Whoa, talk about an awful title. It’s almost framing it as if European Parliament was to blame for what some anti-EU, far-right idiots, that just happen to be MEPs said on russian TV.

  6. Right wingers do what right wingres do – being assholes.

  7. >MEP de Graaff — who has brushed off allegations he was paid by Voice of Europe — said in the October debate: “The best way to get peace is to have the Ukrainians surrender.”

    Surrender to people which outright carry out ethnocide and declare a desire for genocide ( [https://www.justsecurity.org/81789/russias-eliminationist-rhetoric-against-ukraine-a-collection/](https://www.justsecurity.org/81789/russias-eliminationist-rhetoric-against-ukraine-a-collection/))?

    So that after a few years Ukrainians would be used in meat assaults against Europeans and Dutch?

  8. It is quite evident at this stage.

    Ukraine dared resisting for too long /s

  12. Well, at least he is open that he hates us and wishes us to lose, not hiding behind some speeches and slogans, while playing a friendly face.

  13. We live in 30s or still 20s? I dont want 40s.

    When i was in school studying about 1920s, 1930s and 1940s i was like “people then were stupid af, civilisation is smarter now” and then i grown up.

    I think history is laughing at us really loud but we are still kinda deaf.

  15. Why we don’t make laws to prevent such idiots? They belong in jail not in TV

  17. Democratic opposition in Russia gets tortured and killed while traitors like these can hold positions of power in the EU. Sorry but the EU is just too easy to conquer from the inside.

  20. It’s a safe bet that far right politicians and voters in any country think the same.

    Certainly the republicans in the USA do…and it’s astonishing that they can’t see where Ukraines defeat would lead.

  21. I hope we send all these traitors to Ruzzia so they can enjoy their supreme leader every day of their pathetic lives

  22. >Belgium’s Tom Vandendriessche

    Because of course.

    Fuck these fascist bootlickers.

  23. Anyone still got any lingering doubts that Putin is running a fascist regime?

  24. I really don’t get modern right wingers.

    Even if you dislike NATO and EU, a Russian win would weaken every European country, And if you don’t want your country to get stronger, what are you even right-wing about?

  25. They are only saying what their electorate is thinking. Ukraine is not really popular among Europeans

  27. life lesssons … try to avoid working or do the bid for countries where you wouldn’t want to live …

  28. Just MEPS under the paycheck of the Russian fascist, just ignore them they’re doing what they pocket need to be done, the only country to be demilitarized is Russia not Ukraine 🇺🇦, Italy 🇮🇹

  29. I love it how that Estonian Jaak Madison kid supports Ukraines surrender. If Putin gets what he wants, where do you think he is going to turn his attention next..

  30. What a Chad, I respect people who don’t care and just speak their mind

  31. History repeats itself like always. It was the same during WW2 with politicians going against war with moustache man.
