Scott Ritter : We trained neo-Nazis in Ukraine
2022-03-14
[SANA.SY] Former Marine Corps intelligence officer, Scott Ritter,
...also US Army brat, convicted pedophile, former UN weapons inspector, anti-war activist, and now posing as a public intellectual attractive for quoting by all the bad guys...
revealed that the US army trained the neo-Nazis in Ukraine contributing to their extending inside the state’s agencies.

"US, British and Canadian armies trained neo-Nazi
...adherents of a philosophy that was seen even at the time as pure evil, which makes them either consciously and purely evil, or attention-seeking ratbags. Pick one, or both....
s affiliated to Azov Battalion in Ukraine who later seized the power in the country" Ritter said in a meeting with Journalist George Galloway
... a British national embarrassment, not particularly honest, more fond of dictators and terrorists than he is of his native countrymen except at the peak of the election cycle ...
Ritter asserted that foreign military units belonging to the US and the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
, visited Ukraine to form holy warrior nationalist groups and after that they overthrew the elected legitimate president of the country following policies of violence and intimidation against the population."

The former officer added that the influence of those Nazi groups in Ukraine has become so malicious as they threatened the former Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko, who was ready to recognize the special status of Donbas in 2015.

He went on to say that a similar fate would have befallen to the current president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, had he not joined these groups to the Ukrainian forces and gave them free hand everywhere.

#33  /\ Yes, Scott has some issues and they date back to at least his UNSCOM service in Iraq.

#32  All of you hysterics are ignoring the fact that nothing Mr. Ritter says can be trusted as worth listening to, which is the point of the posted article. The man is a liar, a pervert, and a sell-out to the forces of evil.

FIFY, Stepan

#30  Russia claims some of the Azov battalion are Nazis, numbered about 3000. While there about 50,000-70,000 Neo-Nazis in Russia many fighting with Neo-Nazi leader Alexander Petrovich Barkashov against Ukraine.

sorry for original double-post, it was an accident.

#29  the country with most neo-Nazis is Russia Ukraine, according to the Simon Wiesenthal Center

As opposed to this winner of the 2020 "Friends of Zion" award, original commissioned by Shimon Peres and presented in Jerusalem:

Mike Evans has notified the Russian Embassy in Israel of his decision to honor President Putin. In addition he announced that "Friends of Zion Heritage Center will be building a special exhibition honoring Russia for saving a multitude of Jews during World War II. FOZ is also building an exhibition in honor of President Trump for all he has done to support the State of Israel and combat anti-Semitism," said Evans.

#27  Funny how the country with the most neo-Nazis on record is Russia, yet they aren't cleaning up their own.

#17  Yes. The left is thrilled about "volunteers" heading to Ukraine to fight. Wasn't that long ago they were vilifying Rittenhouse for "crossing state lines." They need to try to keep their story straight.

#15  Yes. It's not even "can't both sides lose?" here. It's more like "Can't both sides come to their senses?"

#10  I don't think anyone benefits from people using "Nazi!" the same way some people use "Squirrel!"

Desensitizing people to true evil is not a solution to any other depredations that anyone undertakes.

#8  For Omomolet Phutch9064, from Wikipedia:

Wehrmacht foreign volunteers and conscripts

Among the approximately one million foreign volunteers and conscripts who served in the Wehrmacht and Waffen SS during World War II were ethnic Belgians, Czechs, Dutch, Finns, Danes, French, Hungarians, Norwegians, Poles,[1] Portuguese, Swedes,[2] and British, along with people from the Baltic states and the Balkans.[3] At least 47,000 Spaniards served in the Blue Division.[4]

Some estimates state anywhere between 600,000 and 1,400,000 Soviets (Russians and non-Russians) joined the Wehrmacht forces as Hiwis. (or Hilfswillige)[5] The Ukrainian collaborationist forces were composed of an estimated number of 180,000 volunteers serving with units scattered all over Europe.[6] Russian émigrés and defectors from the Soviet Union formed the Russian Liberation Army or fought as Hilfswillige within German units of the Wehrmacht primarily on the Eastern Front.[7] Non-Russians from the Soviet Union formed the Ostlegionen (literally "Eastern Legions"). The East Battalions comprized a total of 175,000 personnel.[8] These units were all commanded by General Ernst August Köstring. (1876−1953)[9]


Using the lower estimates, some 500,000 Soviets fought for the Nazis against their own country, compared to 180,000 Ukrainians.

The Nazis thought highly enough of all of them to let them be cannon fodder, absorbing bullets meant for the German master race, and used them agains their own people. That is not how you treat soldiers you respect as equals, but fools who will be privileged — those who survive all that went before — to be eradicated last.

BTW, I get all my most accurate news and reporting from the Syrian News Agency.

#4  Once again: personal attacks on the man. No discussion whatsoever of the overwhelming evidence of Ukrainian Nazis.

DarthVader, the Nazis thought so poorly of the Ukrainians that they organized the Ukrainian 14th Waffen Grenadier Division SS (1st Galician). There is direct video evidence at the link but I suppose Putin time traveled to create that too.

And just in case anyone doubts it, here's the Ukrainian Nazis marching last year, complete with pictures. Boy, Putin controls Breitbart too now? Is there any source that's beyond his tentacles?
