#1 I guess that plane that a Russian rocket shot down many years ago must have shot it self down.
If no Russians were involved and no Russian supplies cme to the area, it had to be ghosts that shot it down.
Can ghosts be prosecuted for war crimes?
How about Zombies?

#2 The characterization of the Ukrainian paramilitaries as “Nazis” or “neo-Nazis” is considered Russian propaganda. But that’s not the view of the Times of Israel or the West Point Academy’s Center for Counterterrorism. In 2014, Newsweek magazine seemed to associate them more with… the Islamic State. Take your pick!

Last time I checked the real Nazis were a political organization with military auxiliaries. Is this their party platform too?

#3 I can understand quoting the West Point center. But how is the Times of Israel is more authoritative than the New York Times, the Washington Post, The Times (London), Le Monde, or the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, all of which are surely much more read than an Israeli newspaper scarcely a decade old?

#4 A brave conversation about real Nazis...

"You racists increase by the hour!"
"Too right! We alone possess power!"
"I know! And the worst,
By the whole world accursed,
Are a few who don't cravenly cower!"
