I did not click your links. I do have a sick wife here and had to attend to her, but I was giving this a lot of thought.
I did minimal double checking (Al Jazeera) in the meantime....
Despite rayr's nonsense over the years, the Nazis were and are extreme right lunatics.. In WWII we kinda used the adage "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" and fought the Nazis with Russia...despite our differences with the Commies.
Perhaps this is similar?
This small division of the Ukrainian fighting force unquestionably includes, but does not require, members be neo-Nazis, they formed well before Zelensky was a politician, he had no real political career earlier, probably under Poushenko or whatever his name was. They were part of the National Guard, I'll take your word for them being full Army battalion.
They are ultra nationalists, white supremacists, no different than what we have in our country in similar groups.
And they hate leftys, they hate Russia, and they have been successful fighters against them...including Russia's invasion roughly a decade ago.
I could comment on how I feel personally about such partnerships made in times of extreme distress and dire circumstances, but it's really about how they feel about an alignment with the devil that matters here.
What would you or I do under the same circumstances?
But I also think it's not legitimate to make an "if this exists then that must be true" supposition.. like implying Zelensky must be a Nazi if he tolerates some in his defense efforts.
Is it not fair for me to wonder how far into that thought process would we need to go to ask WTF Vance is doing scolding Europe in general and Germany (Germany!!!) in particular that they are bigger threats to Democracy than Russia or China because they are trying to prevent the return to power of the most hideous regime in history?
Or why President Musk is endorsing a real Nazi party in their elections? Shall I assume Trump approves?
Are we discrediting Ukraine (and actually all of Europe and all of our traditional allies) to cut up the world into two or three new divisions to be controlled by us, Russia and China?
And back to the Russian invasion...when did it become Ukraine invading Russia? I mean before this week.
