Army of the damned

The NY Times headline said that “Nazi Symbols on Ukraine's Front Lines Highlight Thorny Issues of History.” This acknowledgement comes after independent rapporteurs and geopolitical commentators have been pointing out that yes, indeed, there were Nazi sympathizers still loose in the Ukraine and on their front lines. Ukraine's military and paramilitary groups, especially those operating in the east like the deadly Azov Brigade, have a serious and obvious Nazi problem. But the US media, in thrall to Biden and Democrats where they essentially act as cheerleaders for the current administration, are forever glossing it over.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) contended in Orwellian fashion that the Biden administration should take sufficient “military measures that would strengthen a diplomatic approach and give it greater credibility.” She wrote that “the United States must speed up the pace of assistance and provide anti-aircraft, anti-tank and anti-ship systems, along with leading electronic warfare capabilities.” She claimed that these actions “will help ensure a free and stable Europe,” though it’s easy to imagine how such steps could instead lead to a war-ravaged or a nuclear destroyed Europe, aglow with Cherenkov radiation, or in the very least a tension-plagued association of states.
