Germans were confronted with imagesoftheir country’s dark past on Monday night, when German public broadcaster ZDF showed video of Ukrainian soldiers with Nazi symbols on their helmets in its evening newscast. In a report on the fragile cease-fire in eastern Ukraine, Moscow correspondent Bernhard Lichte used pictures of a soldier wearing a combat helmet with the "SS runes" of Hitler’s infamous black-uniformed elite corps.

Seems you are getting frustrated, or at least taking it personal, since you resorted to calling me a coward.

I never asked you to be anything, except put your money where your mouth is.

Finns, got nothing for me except women and guns.

They did well against the Russians back in the 30s though. Ukraine should take note.

Again, if you ask someone to be a “hero,” it’s fair for them to ask you why you are being a “coward.” So simple, even a caveman can figure it out. What’s your excuse?

RE: 28

Agreed. In my experience there’s way more blonde haired blued eyed Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, and Ukrainians than there are Bavarians.

All of the above (other than the Bavarians) were eager to side with Germany against the Soviet Union. Instead the retards in the SS led by a midget named Himmler (Bavarian) decided to start slaughtering them.

Not exactly winning hearts and minds. The 3rd Reich (May piss be upon it) was so filled with hypocrisy and propaganda. Reminds me of NBC.

Give me a break, you make me laugh. If it was a place or thing I was talking up on the web about how much I supported I’d expect to be called out about putting my tail on the line.

That is also so easy, a cave man could see it too.

So, when does your plane for Ukraine leave? I can spare you a few mags and a case of x39 for a hero like you.

Putting lightning bolt runes on a helmut does not a Nazi make, any more than buying a knife makes me a SEAL. My guess is that it is propaganda. By whom, may be the interesting question..

I don’t even know what that is. Sounds like a homo drink. Is that what you normally buy guys you are trying to pick up?

You are right on the first part. When I see a homo, I assume that’s what they’re drinking.

“I believe NBC has it BACKWARDS. The Nazi flag-like symbols were on the helmets of the pro-Russian “rebels” fighting in Eastern Ukraine.

No, for once they got it right. Azov battalion has been long recognized and reported to be a Neo-Nazi group.

The Azov men use the neo-Nazi Wolfsangel (Wolf’s Hook) symbol on their banner and members of the battalion are openly white supremacists, or anti-Semites.

This is just one of the charming forces shooting at each other in the area, there are more, on both sides. Kiev is paying and supporting Azov.

And the 2nd part, when you are trying to pick up guys you just sweet talk them?

But seriously, you want to support them go ahead open up your wallet, pick up a gun, but don’t send them my tax money.

And you know what is even more gay? Some limp-wrist who claims that he's "not taking a side," when he takes a side on his own thread.

There are no good guys in that conflict. The best reason to stay the heck out of it.

Supposedly, they captured the artist, named Sergei Sakharov. I wonder if he's related to the famous bomb maker?
