I am unabashedly a fan of my country. As soon as the US showed some disinterest in Europe and pull back a bit because we have a ton of internal issues and issues with China. Because Trump opened up the doors and made NATO look weak Russia attacked Ukraine thinking NATO would just let it slide. I have been a critic of the Afghan war in particular and what happened in Libya. However, I 100% agree with fighting off Russian aggression in Europe. If Ukraine falls then Russia will roll over all the former Soviet satellite countries and take them back as well. The US doesn't just pass a bipartisan $40 billion for no reason. We know it will cost trillions if the Russians aren't stopped now.

Everything for the victory, I guess?

> The 2016 Consolidated Appropriations Act, signed into law by US President Barack Obama late last year, did not include a previously expected ban against the funding of the Azov Regiment, a military organization that originated as a volunteer militia in May 2014 and was subsequently incorporated into the National Guard of Ukraine.

> The Azov Regiment is notorious for the openly white supremacist and anti-Semitic views of its members, and its use of the Wolfsangel, a swastika-like symbol once used by certain divisions of the armed forces of Nazi Germany, as well as its leading role in the Battle of Mariupol in May-June 2014. The regiment’s leader is Andriy Biletsky, a current member of the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada (parliament) and also leader of the neo-Nazi Social-National Assembly. In a characteristic statement, Biletsky was quoted by the UK Telegraph last August as stating, “The historic mission of our nation in this critical moment is to lead the White Races of the world in a final crusade for their survival, a crusade against the Semite-led Untermenschen.”

Keep buying that Russian propaganda that Ukraine is rife with Nazi-ism. Every country in the western world has small contingents of Nazis, all less than 1% of the population. You are allowing that Russian BS to cloud your judgement. Also the they have had -jewish- leaders, that doesn't sound like much of a Nazi group to me lmfao
