Ukraine Today:

A militant leader in Ukraine's eastern city of Donetsk has admitted that Russian soldiers are fighting among his forces in the insurgency. Alexander Zakharchenko, the prime minister of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic, told Russian media that between 3,000 and 4,000 Russian soldiers on leave from their posts have been fighting in the insurgency.

Hopefully the dog will see a bumper to chase instead.

So what is wrong with Right Sector, exactly? That is a Ukrainian nationalist organization demonstrating for Ukrainian nationalist causes on Ukrainian soil when their nation is being invaded by neo-soviet superpower. God bless them.

Anyone who worships Stepan Bandera is lower than Whale S—t in my book.

Bandera is a Ukrainian nationalist leader and a hero. Why shouldn’t a nationalist organization honor (not worship) the leaders of its nation?

So it's ok for Germans to worship Hitler because he was a nationalist? Do you know what Bandera and his crew did to Poles during the war?

Not at all. Putin has done nothing good for Russia: he flooded the country with Asian immigrants, pulls the nation into Asia and now severed ties with the civilized world and plunged Russia into unpopular war. Putin is antithetical to anything Russian nationalist.

The Right Sector, however, is a Ukrainian nationalist organization, just like, for example, the Tea Party is the American nationalist organization. Every country should get one.

Bandera was in a nazi concentration camp at the time.

Bandera personally did nothing to the Poles, he was in a German jail most of that time. However, Ukrainian nationalism of course would be opposed to Polish domination of Ukraine just as much as it would be opposed to a Soviet domination of it. That UPA committed war crimes I have no doubt; so did the Soviets and the Germans. It was a brutal war.

Remember DFW...
Right Sector isn’t “National Socialist”.
They changed that several years back to “Social Nationalists”. I’m not kidding.

Yes Right Sector are Ukrainian patriots and they are the tea party of Ukraine, that's why Russian commie scum hate them. American patriots are going to help the Right Sector wage a guerrilla war to kill the dirty Russian scum which have invaded Ukraine.

Think of it as a rhetorical “flourish.” Sort of like equating Russian/Chechen troops with the Flying Tigers of WW2, as you did today.

Plenty of Nazi scum on the Russian side as well.

The good news is that the Right Sector isn’t the big player some make them out to be. They’re loud, but not that numerous.

I understand WWIII is already underway, what I should have said is when the west wakes up to that fact. They are all hoping Putie will stop somewhere, he won’t.
