The 98 year old was born in 1925. In 1941 when Germany invaded Ukraine he was 16. He probably had two choices when the Germans showed up in his backyard... join or be shot. Who knows if he acted in an ethical way or did bad things because he wanted to. He was a kid and his primary goal was likely to survive.

Apparently, he managed to stay out of trouble when he was sent to Canada and he lived life in a way that made it possible for him to survive until 98. Trying to prosecute 98-year-olds when there are likely no records or witnesses that could exonerate him is not fair and just plain stupid. The people who go along with this nonsense are likely cancel culture liberal Karens.

Nah they’re just people who rightly show no quarter to the enemy. Playing nice and tolerating evil is the reason our country is fucked.

There probably Jews who only wanted to survive also. They were deprived of life by individuals such as him and in all probability him. Tell that to the men, women, and children in the freight cars that were parked at Dachau crammed full of human beings who were starved to death, beaten to death, and shot to death. The GIs who discovered them cried and puked. But your sympathies are with the guard who did his share of killing. And who has since been living a life of luxury. The spilled blood of innocent men, women, and children cries out for justice.

Agree completely.

Canada is currently in a dustup with the Gov’t of India over sheltering Khalistan (Sikh) terrorists and organizers.

The accusation is that the Indian gov’t got fed up with Canadian inaction and did an assassination themselves.

Of course, every @sshole politician in Canada is huffing and puffing about “state sponsored assassination, and “how dare they”.

(the Indians should have done a drone strike like Obama and Biden. That’s how you do woke approved assassinations).

These posturing fakes are all about deporting 98 year olds, but current terrorists are politically protected.

--- "He was a kid and his primary goal was likely to survive."

There is precedence for deportation, for even such a "kid."

"John Demjanjuk (born Ivan Mykolaiovych Demjanjuk; Ukrainian: Іван Миколайович Дем'янюк; 3 April 1920 – 17 March 2012) was a Ukrainian-American who served as a Trawniki man and Nazi camp guard at Sobibor extermination camp, Majdanek, and Flossenbürg.[2] Demjanjuk became the center of global media attention in the 1980s, when he was tried and convicted in Israel after being misidentified as Ivan the Terrible, a notoriously cruel watchman at Treblinka extermination camp. In 1993 the verdict was overturned. Shortly before his death, he was tried and convicted in Germany as an accessory to 28,060 murders at Sobibor."

John Demjanjuk

Besides, just a "kid" at sixteen is a "man" of enlistment age a year later, in many branches of our own military.

It is additionally interesting that Wiki speaks of Demjanjuk as both a "Ukrainian-American" in one paragraph and then being born in the "Soviet Union" in another. Because both are correct.

"Hunka as a 'Ukrainian hero and a Canadian hero' can also be spoken of a "just a kid" when he joined the Waffen SS, so it's all a matter of words, until reality sets in. Personally I hope that Poland presses for 1) deportation of Hunka, and 2) presses forward with claims of greater reparations from Germany.
