Bender said...: So, the certainly-nazified Czech government put out this tweet:

Appeal to Russian colleagues, diplomats, men and women of the Russian diplomatic service.
Colleagues, we implore those of you who have a conscience and who maintain the capacity to recognize evil: take yourself out of this circle of accomplices. #StopPutinsLies

Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs then reminded them of what's what:

Czech diplomats, we do indeed have something in common. Except you have forgotten all about it - forgotten, betrayed and sold the chapters of our common history. While we remember. And we do not betray the memory of those, who gave their lives for our future, yours and ours.
