NP Speaking of death squads...

[Thomas Eckhardt]

John Conyers and the House of Representatives seem to have detected 
Nazis in Ukraine. Who would have thought? Not surprisingly, the Pentagon 
wants to train the Nazi forces:

'Ukraine’s Azov Battalion is a 1,000-man volunteer militia of the 
Ukrainian National Guard that Foreign Policy Magazine has characterized 
as “openly neo-Nazi,” and “fascist.”  Ukraine’s Interior Minister Arsen 
Avakov, who oversees Ukraine’s armed militias, announced that Azov 
troops would be among the first units to be trained by the Pentagon in 
Operation Fearless Guardian, prompting significant international concern.'

In a laudable move the House of Representatives "unanimously passed 
[Conyers'] amendments last night to ensure that our military does not 
train members of the repulsive neo-Nazi Azov Battalion (...)"

This is comparable to the Boland amendment, no? Does it mean that it 
will be illegal to train the Nazis? A-and where, by the way, is Oliver 
North, and what is he up to?
