While they continue to fight for the sovereignty of a nation headed by a Jewish president I can see how they could be useful. Soldiers often aren't nice people. Most countries have at least a few hundred of these types of neo-Nazis.
- lowkey 5y agoNo other country that is allied with western liberal democracies openly employs Neo-Nazis in any capacity to my knowledge, other than Ukraine. Please share examples if you have them. It should be easy if, as you say “most countries have at least a few hundred.” I’m struggling to understand how I am the minority here calling out what I always thought was a widely agreed principle on HN i.e. Nazis = bad. Nazis are not the good guys and fighting alongside Nazis, even if convenient, is wrong. A few weeks ago this statement would have been so obvious as to be redundant on HN. What if we win the war but lose our moral compass? How do you explain to your kids that Nazis are bad except sometimes they are useful so not always bad?
