Royce: Putin recruiting ‘every skinhead and malcontent around Russia’
washingtontimes.com ^ | July 22, 2014

Rep. Ed Royce, California Republican and chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said the United States should try to have productive relations with a Vladimir Putin-led Russia — with qualifications.

“At the same time, we should be pointing out that Putin is using social media right now to recruit every skinhead and malcontent around Russia and get them into eastern Ukraine,” Mr. Royce told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “We know these separatists were taken into Russia to be trained in how to use these SA-11s and they’re poorly trained, so they now shot down a jetliner.” ....

“We should have a long-term strategy and we’d have to change the president’s position on this, but one where we sell [natural gas] for the future into the market in Ukraine in order to replace the Russian gas,” he said.

Straight of the Nazi and Communist playbook in the 20s in Germany, both parties sought out street brawlers to join their ranks for control of the streets. Some would go from one side to the other.

Any impartial (aka not from John Kerry) proof yet that “separatists” “supported” by Mr. Putin shot down MH17? Anyone looking into the fact that the Ukrainian military also possess the SA-11 weapons system? Cui bono?

I’d like Ed Royce to be at least as concerned with deporting the millions of illegal aliens in California as he is with what is going on in the Ukraine.

He’s not of course, which is why I see little point in voting for him come November. Let him get the Ukrainian and illegal alien vote, he serves them better than he does his own constituents.

So what color of shirts do they get? All the cool colors have already been used. All that's left for the new authoritarian bully-boys are mauve and lilac. Even Spode in Wodehouse's Wooster books had to go with black shorts because all the good shirt colors were taken.

Ukarain’s fault, that’s the story Putin’s controlled Russian media is pushing.

We sure do — he’s not impartial however but one of Putin’s most ardent supporters here on FR — tcrlaf:

tcrlaf had information from the beginning that the rebels accidently shot it down.

It’s typical, really. Putinism is a philosophy for misfit morons. It’s not going to attract idealists or true patriots. It’s the brown shirts and Putin’s Rohm types going out to get booty (no pun intended for the Putinista catamites). We’re talking really, low, lowlife scum. It’s the dirty dozen without a cause or the Black and Tans without a reason.

Ed Royce on Immigration - Rated 100% by FAIR, indicating a voting record restricting immigration.

Immigration: Why kids are fleeing to U.S. and what to do - July 16, 2014 - Republican congressmen Darrell Issa, Ed Royce and Duncan Hunter support a bill that would treat the unaccompanied children the same way those from Mexico and Canada are treated – by allowing a Border Patrol agent to make the assessment about sending them back.

Catholic churches push Rep. Ed Royce on immigration - August 27, 2013 - Ruben Barron, a rally organizer, said 27 leaders from the Orange, Los Angeles and San Bernardino dioceses met with Royce, a Republican, last Friday, but the two sides remained far apart. "He's talking border security. We don't disagree with that, but he's only focusing on border security. He's not focusing on the 11 million," Barron said in an interview before the rally.

Rep. Ed Royce Joins NumbersUSA's 5-for-5 Club! - September 12, 2011 - Rep. Ed Royce has joined NumbersUSA's 5-for-5 Club after cosponsoring the SAFE for America Act, which would end the Visa Lottery. Rep. Royce has now cosponsored at least one bill in each of our 5 Great Immigration-Reduction categories and joins 10 other Members of Congress to cosponsor a bill in each of the categories.

And the evidence that the Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine shot MH17 down is all over this board and has been for 8 days and we still get questions like “Is there any evidence that ...”.

These are the types of people who think gravity is an unproven theory.

Proving that numbers don’t tell everything. Royce is my Rep and I’ve talked to his staff often.

If you can ever find a quote where he advocates enforcing the law and deporting illegals already here I’d like to see it because his staffers have never yet produced one.

I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t join Boehner in “comprehensive immigration reform” once the election is safely behind them.

Maybe that’s there next lie. Gravity brought down the plane.

Maybe we can export our skinheads, racists, and malcontents to Russia? Will they accept our very unhappy liberals as well?

This is only meant partly as a joke, but what choices would he have beyond skinheads and malcontents? Would that not describe just about the entire population of Russia?

Yes, I have heard of Russian culture. That creates maybe a dozen exceptions right there.

Here’s some more recruits:

Ukrainian ultra-nationalists marched in the center of the western city of Lviv on April 28, 2013 to mark the 70th anniversary of the 14th SS-Volunteer Division “Galician” foundation. The 14th Waffen Grenadier Division was a World War II German military formation initially made up of volunteers from the region of Galicia with a Ukrainian ethnic background, but later also incorporated Slovaks, Czechs and Dutch volunteers and officers. Neo-nazis from Russia and Lithuania also took part in the march.
