NATO Says It Didn't Notice Ukraine Soldier's Apparent Nazi Symbol in Tweet
Newsweak ^ | 3/10/22 | Tom O'Connor

An official of the U.S.-led NATO alliance has told Newsweek that the coalition did not notice what appeared to be a symbol associated with Nazism on the uniform of a Ukrainian soldier featured in a since-deleted

The image, posted Tuesday to commemorate International Women's Day, contained four images related to the current crisis in Ukraine, where a Russian military incursion was set to enter its third week.

"All women and girls must live free and equal. This international women's day we think of the remarkable women of #Ukraine," NATO tweeted alongside a Ukrainian flag emoji. "Their strength, bravery and resilience are symbolic of the spirit of their nation #IWD2022."

The first of the four images included what appeared to be a Ukrainian servicemember bearing a "Black Sun" on the chest area of her military fatigues. The symbol, also known in German as "Schwarze Sonne" or "Sonnenrad," is rooted in Nazi occultism and has been brandished by far-right elements across the globe, including in Ukraine, where it is featured on the official logo of the National Guard's Azov Regiment.

Video at link. The ADL classifies the Black Sun as a general hate symbol. Since it's the latest fad to send out some love to the Ukrainians will the ADL have the intellectual honesty to acknowledge that some, not all, Ukrainians have neo nazi sympathies? Putin is certainly no good guy either, to put it mildly. But I suppose we gotta protect a certain crackhead's Ukrainian interests while pretending to care about the Ukrainian people.

I don’t know how many Ukrainians are Nazis.

I know it’s more than one.

Could be, but at this point, I just assume everything is stupidity, either hers or the writer’s or the people interviewed’s.

A bit off topic, but this series that is free on IMDB was excellent IMHO. In Croatian with subtitles. Opium Dens, brothels, yataghan slums. Mucho violence. R rated. Set before WW2 in the Kingdom of Serbs and Croats. Opium smugglers, corruption, and the Black Sun cult of Nazis and communist agitators.

“A historical fiction drama and thriller set in the turbulent period of the late 1920s in the Balkans as a place where high politics, local interests, capital and crime all merge together.”

They just passed a law last November that ethnic Ukrainians are of Scandinavian or German decent. Those of Slavic decent(Russian) are on the outs. Even though over half the country is Slavic and the majority is of eastern orthodox decent.

Oh, PLEASE, it was just a mistake for Newsweek to let that leak through - no media outlet is perfect. Remember folks, Putin is a NUTCASE for suggesting Nazis exist in Ukraine, the story has been totally debunked.

We MUST stick to the DNC/Soros/WER line that there are NO NAZIs in Ukraine. So, please, repeat after me: THERE ARE NO NAZIs IN UKRAINE.

See - not so hard.

The US has been colluding with Nazis in Ukraine for a long time now. NATO just thinks people don’t know it.

"All women and girls must live free and equal. P>Which is why we killed and maimed folks all over the Middle East and blew up a lot of stuff before we bugged out.

Maybe next time we will take a shorter route and just nuke them all. Claiming the high moral ground while you just hurt everyone is not exactly a moral position.

‘’I don’t know how many Ukrainians are Nazis.

————-

The Oliver Stone movie does a decent job of explaining it and how this came about in Western Ukraine during WW2. It is real and as the movie shows with video from 2014, actively present/excepted in some forms by the government.

It exists today more like a version of white supremacy via anti-russian(Orthodox)

“The US has been colluding with Nazis in Ukraine for a long time now. NATO just thinks people don’t know it.”

The Oliver Stone movie made it clear that they were CRITICAL in the overthrow of the Ukraine government and it’s replacement by a Western Puppet, and had American fingerprints all over it.

Not all people who wear the black sun are white supremacists, but all white supremacists wear black suns. It is absolutely a symbol of that group. Has been for years. The Azov Battalion and many of the white supremacist mass shooters wore it during their rampages.

I seriously can't tell what it is.

You know, liberal clowns think if you make an "ok" sign with your hand you are a hidden racist, so take it with a grain of salt.

“The symbol itself, however, is not readily visible, as it is nearly the same color as the green camouflage of the soldier’s uniform.” I blame Newsweek (shocking, I know).
