There are fascist elements in the Ukraine and have been on the LOC since 2015. They have been doing the dirty work happily there and have contributed to the 10k+ casualties in the Donbass.

Many of their groups have been incorporated into government national guard units. Many, though, are not and still fight at the LOC as independant paramilitary units. They have been dying the black and red strip ‘blood and soil’ flag. They’ve been playing a support role for the Ukraine military for awhile now.

They have a political component as well, having attained offices in the government and domestic police forces. As I understand it, they punch above their political weight by using intimidation of violence. Theres a track record here if you care to look at the record.

I’m not touching the elders of Zion your bringing into the discussion. The far right is not interested as much in the Jewish problem as it has with the Russian speaking Ukrainians. Hence the outlawing of the language, changing street names, etc..

This is a huge issue of the civil war there. The far right coup carried out with our assistance. Talkin about the Maidan ‘revolution’. You realize, don’t you Jeff, that Amerika always backs the far right when we meddle with the internal politics of client states? Zelensky’s election was a large protest against that coup.

He ran on a platform of having better relations with Russia as well as lowering the tension with the breakaway, Russian aligned, republics. Why he had a sudden break and started hollering for NATO inclusion and getting nukes is beyond my level of understanding. A deal he couldn’t refuse would be my guess. Ritter had some ideas in my previously posted interview video.

There’s going to be a lot of things bombed, tragically. I have no idea why you think s holocaust memorial getting destroyed proves anything. A good deal of images we’re seeing on social media as well as corporate news are turning out to be fakes. It’s authenticity aside, you realize it’s possible that far right nationalist have different goals and resentments indifferent parts of the world? I don’t think my understanding is twisted as much as your oversimplifying.

The fascist element is legitimate but not the only concern that Russia has at this point. They have been speaking loudly and plainly and, right up to their invasion, warning us- eff around and find out!’ With regard to the red line they articulated in the security proposal. A proposal we failed to credibly negotiate over.

One has to wonder why?
