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.

That sheds some light on things. Still, Putin sucks just as bad. Too bad they won’t all just kill each other.

That's the battle flag of Novorossiya. Novorossiya is the state the Ukrainian rebels are trying create, consisting of the Donbas region (Donetsk and Lugansk).

"...the "SS runes" of Hitler’s infamous black-uniformed elite corps."

U.S.M.C. Scout Snipers in Afghanistan. They've been using the double 'S' runes for years.

And the SS stands for scout sniper.
Bad taste for sure.
When I was a barracks rat a guy a few doors down, who was a scout sniper, got that crap branded on his side...idiot.

Some Ukrainians helped the Nazis, driven by nationalism and antisemitism.

Considering how the Nazis thought of Slavs as Untermenschen, the thought that any Slav could identify with the Nazis makes my skin crawl.

I personally don’t care if they are Nazi or whatever. It’s not our business. I get a feeling there are a lot of Ukraine supporters on FR, some who want to send them aid. I think we need to be really careful about how we spend and send military aid to.
I’m not saying be isolationist, just rock of all the wasted money aiding any country with their hand out.

We have Vets out of work and living on the street, can’t get benefits earned.

I have a somewhat twisted sense of humor, but if i make one FReeper laugh, it’s worth it.

Have a terrific day! :-)

Why thank you!

Oh oh oh...I just figured out what might be gumming up your keyboard!

Have you seen any female deer around your computer lately? Perhaps one with an upper respiratory ailment?
