Tim reads a New York Times story acknowledging Nazi symbols worn by Ukrainian soldiers, mocking the paper's euphemistic "thorny" framing and arguing the media narrative around Ukraine's heroism is starting to crack.
- New York Times acknowledges Nazi symbols on Ukraine's front lines, calling them 'thorny issues of history.'
- Tim breaks down the headline: troops using Nazi patches risks fueling propaganda, not the reality that they like Nazis.
- Media pinned medals on these guys early on, but Ukraine has been a hotbed of white supremacy and literal Nazism for years.
- The media called everyone with differing opinions a Nazi for years, diluting the term until actual Nazis became invisible.
- New York Times finally admitting Ukrainian soldiers are wearing Nazi patches, including the Totenkopf symbol.
- Tim's take: the Times framing patches as 'aiding Russian propaganda' rather than acknowledging what the patches actually represent.
