Netizens Call Out Mark Hamill for Chatting With Ukrainian Militants Featuring 'Nazi Flag'

Hollywood star Mark Hamill, best known for his portrayal of Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars saga, ended up committing quite a blunder after he participated in a video chat with members of Ukrainian armed forces. During said chat, a fragment of which Hamill shared on Twitter, Hamill praised the Ukrainian militants who he claimed were "fighting the good fight" and compared Ukrainian forces to the rebels from Star Wars.

"It was a pleasure meeting with the brave Ukrainian drone operators. We talked about the challenges they face on a daily basis, but they also wanted to talk about Wookiees & farm boys & droids, oh my!" the actor wrote in the tweet.

While many social media users praised Hamill for this act, quite a few netizens pointed at the flag that was seen in the video chat hanging behind Ukrainian militants.

The red-and-black banner in question appeared to be the flag of the so-called Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), an infamous Ukrainian nationalist militant group that collaborated with the Nazis during World War II and perpetrated acts of ethnic cleansing against civilians of Polish and Jewish descent in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia.

Stupid is...

Well his tweet where he said the word "gay" tons of times because he was gullible enough to believe there actually was a "Don't Say Gay Bill" was still his low point with me.

Leftist lies can have a strong influence on the weak minded.

That keeps happening to the Ukrainians. They sent troops to Poland for tank training, and the Poles had to remind the Ukrainians not to paint Swastika's on the tanks...

There’s no Nazi flag. Quit parroting neo-Stalinist propaganda.

"Stupid is... "

Back when I was a kid in the 50's and 60's, the word "queer" was slang for homos, and you were shushed if you said it. Today, that's what they call themselves. It cracks me up.

So if you're chatting with some people, and one of the (fuzzy) images shows (in the extreme lower left corner) part of a banner that might have been associated with some military group that existed along a portion of some gawd-forsaken front for a few weeks in late-1943... You'd better watch out that you don't get "cancelled!"

Meanwhile, Putin's openly imperialistic and authoritarian Russia rocket-bombs civilian targets.

Get your priorities straight!

If Nazism wasn't such a stupid idea to begin with, I could almost understand the appeal it might hae to Northern Europeans where you have Barbara Spector and the Kalergi plan and what not, but I don't get the idea of it appealing to ukrainians after Russia reverted to its Christian foundations and gave up on communism. That's just stupid.

Warmest regards.

“ There’s no Nazi flag. Quit parroting neo-Stalinist propaganda”

You’re funny! Blind too, but in a sad kind of way.

...but, but, the Ukrainians are GOOD NAZIS, similar to the ‘Democrat Opposition’ in Syria that we supported (the fact that they were actually ISIS is not to be discussed here), or the Freedom Fighter in Kosovo (the fact that they committed at least as many crimes against humanity as the Serbian government is not to be discussed here), or a bunch more of a our recent bedfellows.

These Ukrainians only idolize the WW2 Nazis who killed the Jews in the first half of the 20th century, as I can assure you that not a single Ukrainian Nazi (today) had anything to do with killing Jews back then - so why should these ‘Good Nazis’ be associated with them, just because they use the same symbols and look at those past Nazis as heroes? Oh please, let’s not get picky - remember these are GOOD NAZIS, wouldn’t hurt a fly.

America’s Pet Nazis are real, all more than he reason the US and Ukraine will lose this conflict. The US is backing a dark horse.

[Celtic Conservative]

If anything, Russia is reverting to its Soviet past these days. Right, товарищ?

[Does so]

The “Peace” symbol appears on Hitler’s Panzers. (See cover of June 2014 “WWII History” magazine).

How many Jews has Zelinskyy sent away?

LOL, Putin invades neighboring Ukraine for territorial gain, unleashes massive suffering, death and destruction and then calls the Ukrainians fighting to defend their families, homes and country "nazis". That's real chutzpah!

It is definitely not the flag of the UPA. It has a sunwheel and the number 98 in the center. Not sure what the 98 means but it could be an analogue to the ‘88’ that some extremists use in the English speaking world. So it may be a neo-nazi group flag, but not that of the UPA.

[Mr. K]

I see the light now! Thank you for that explanation.

I guess Soros, Biden, The Media have STOPPED lying to us, and are telling us the truth now on how we must support Ukraine.

I am this close to being a Biden fan now (like you?)
