It would have more significance if Ukraine HAD ANY SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF BLACK RESIDENTS. But they don't. They don't even have any significant number of Muslims. So who would "White Supremacists" be complaining about?
One of the reasons I did not agree with Demjanjuk, I think mitigating circumstances should have applied there...but the Germans were gung ho to tell the world that not only Austrians and Germans participated in the Holocaust.
Given the millions of Ukrainians dead at Stalin's hands in the "terror famine", do you blame them for hating Russian Communists?
Millions of Ukrainians died from Stalin's forced famines in the 30's.
1 million Ukrainian Jews and 4 million Ukrainian Christians were killed by the Nazis during WWII.
Ukrainians despise both groups.
Read the history about what the Nazis did to the Ukrainians during WWII.
What happened last week in the Ukraine has nothing to do with Nazism.
You are regurgitating what is Putin playing the Nazism card.
Think, what similarly happens in this country when propagandists play the race card.
Somebody should tell them to stop flying the confederate battle flag for their cause. It’s an insult to the tens of thousands of Americans who died under it.

Tell them that it used to be flown by a bunch of dead losers who got their butts whipped.
Is this “false flag” propaganda?
Yeah, me too. A Confederate battle flag in of all places. Strange to me, with no cultural or historical connection, that revolting Ukies would pick that as a symbol.
A Jolly Roger. The Ukrainian flag. Hell, a Rainbow flag. But the Stars and Bars. Weird.
Meanwhile, Russians in the Ukraine support Vladimir Putin, whose FSB actively persecuted and tortured Soviet Jews like Natan Sharansky for years.
There’s no “tough guy” to this. I just don’t want the symbol to be associated with Nazis.
Many Ukrainians volunteered to serve the Nazis - and it made sense at the time for the them to do so because the Communists were so much worse to them than the Nazis had been up to that time.
“Its an insult to the tens of thousands of Americans who died under it.”
So modern day racists flying a flag in their rebellion against a tyrannical government - by doing so - insult 19th century racists who rebelled against a government they considered tyrannical? I’m just not seeing the insult there.
They are sure trying to sell that straw man.
Yes they are. Their example has around 8.5% support in the last election, their high water mark.
