      Generally speaking fascists are nationalists so, like, not really? You didn’t see the Nazis joining their command structure with Romanians until the pretense that they were independent was over.

      This is just fucking weird.

        Sure, you’re right; they’re not doing fascism because checks notes they’ve combined forces for riches and power, which contradicts the strict “must be nationalist” I guess we shouldn’t call it that then because of this one technicality. Guess it’s all good here then, nothing to see!

        Ok and without the flippancy: Nationalism is a tool of fascism, not a core requirement.

          It’s pretty clear that you both have no idea what you’re talking about and are deliberately being intellectually dishonest, good luck with saying everything a fascist does is ideological fascism, from the direct merger of national militaries to choice of barbecue sauce.

          This is, of course, completely different from joint military programs when non fascists do it because of reasons.

    To allow a foreign military to have boots on the ground in the US, and complete military suppressive operations against citizens while maintaining a degree of deniability and accountability for the government.
