I was ready to dismiss this as hyperbole – after all, there are INNUMERABLE ways that US equipment could make its way to Russian factories.
Then I read the words of the chairman of their board:
Hans Naumann (through interpreter):
I think that Trump, unlike many European politicians, has recognized that the white population must stand together. Americans, Europeans, Australians, they’re roughly 1.5 billion people, but Asians come to six billion.
In my opinion, the world’s demographics compel the two nuclear powers, that’s America and Russia, to stand together.
It turns out they shipped equipment directly from their German facilities to Russian military companies, potentially in violation of the 2014 sanctions.
the white population must stand together.
Then why does he support Russia who attacks the white population in Ukraine? He doesn’t even adhere to his own logic
Ah because like in days of yore, some white people aren’t white to racists. For instance the Irish weren’t considered white in the US for quite a long time…
Yeah, but both Ukrainians and Russians are Slavs, so in that frame they’re equally worthless and they shouldn’t support either.
Fair dues I suppose
You should examine that claim critically. The idea that Irish indentured servants were mistreated similarly to their their non-white counterparts in chattel slavery is historical revisionism pushed by white supremacists.
They never mentioned anything about chattel style slavery or comparison to the African slave trade. Simply that skin color isn’t the only defining factor in racism historically, but also nationality and heritage.
We have non European examples as well, like the Rwandan genocide. People of similar phenotypes can still find other reasons to hate and kill.
No other implication was made or conclusions drawn.
Fascists have always used racism as an excuse to define the enemy and back The Great Leader, even when the sides were ethnically similar. It’s not like Poland and France were full of non-white barbarian infiltrators in Europe in the 30s and 40s, but plenty of people used “preservation of the white race” as a reason to back the Nazis.
I’m surprised it didn’t have to do with their bottom line.
If Mr. Naumann’s company should make a boatload of cash while supporting his terrible political views, what’s the harm?

The name of the company is NSH USA Corp., in case anyone else was upset by the click bait title.
Im sorry, wasn’t there something about it being treason to sell to an enemy of the state? Also, isn’t Russia an enemy of the state? And lastly, don’t we also have sanctions to stop these dealings as well?
