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.

“They just passed a law last November that ethnic Ukrainians are of Scandinavian or German decent. “

Interesting.

Do you have a link/citation for that?

Yep. The Socialists don’t want us to recognize that the National Socialists were......well.........socialists.

But they were. They unquestionably were.

If being against mass immigration by Muslims makes one a “white supremacist”, then many (most) on FR are in that category.

no, not at all. as you might know or recall, during the Vietnam War, the aforementioned items were secured. ‘patches’ were worn, that embraced certain personal affectations. and it was denoted, described, with derision by possible relatives of the author of this hit piece.

now, i do believe in ‘freedom of the press’, as well as ‘freedom of speech’, yet it is only after indulging in quailudes, that one look at a patch of a foreign religious group, worn by a combat soldier in the field fighting for the life of her country, to be called a member of that foreign religious group, by a member of a jourrnalistic body.

Haha. Believe me, I know that. I think the methods of dealing with mass migrations is where the people wearing the black sun and FReepers would disagree. At least I hope they would disagree on it.

What do the “black sun” people say about how to prevent mass migration of undesirables into Ukraine?

The only practical way to stop a flood of impoverished and unskilled migrants from entering is by imposing consequences for the attempt, and being sufficiently unpleasant about it that they won’t try again.

The main difference between Nazis (National Socialists) and communists (international socialists) is the type of government control over the economy. Both systems are authoritarian; both are barbarous. And I hate both...

There are no "good guys" in this fight. So I will continue to root for the invaded underdog, but support neither.
