NP: On the Ukraine thread

[Mark Kohut]

I reject all Neo-Nazi groups and your having to speak out against one while
ignorin others.

But I will grant that I was inaccurate when I wrote "(disputed)"....I know
they exist I just do not know, nor think that you
or almost anyone knows, how many there are there and if they are ready to
fight for Ukraine and Ukraine lets them,
good for Ukraine.

The US military is full of nazi-sympthizers, white supremacists and
confderate soldiers so to speak. It is the US job
to keep them in military line. As well as civilian. It is what free
countries have to manage.

Still can't believe international law means nothing to you. Nothing. Nazis
would not have been brought to justice and kept
being beaten down afterward were it not for International law...
