"Meet the American fighting Ukrainian fascists"

Submitted by mimi on Fri, 04/30/2021 - 2:36am

The first time I do understand what happened in Ukraine. I just wanted you to see this and listen to it. For me it was enlightening so to speak.

As the anti-Russia hawks in the Joe Biden administration push for more aggressive policies in Ukraine, Moderate Rebels speak with Russell Bentley, an American from Texas who moved to the Donbas region to fight on behalf of the breakaway Donetsk People's Republic.

Bentley discusses the ultra-nationalist fascists and neo-Nazis in the Ukrainian forces. He also explains the Christian Communist ideology that motivates him and his combat unit.

I am still listening.I think my father was one of those sorry Nazis in wwII, but it takes me too much time to research it and find the facts in the documents he left behind.

Juat FYI. I will not be here to comment.

this is the most important issue facing us and the world:

MY COUNTRY'S, THE UNITED STATES', SUPPORT OF NAZI GOVERNMENT MILITARY AND NAZI PRIVATE MILITARY ACTIVITY IN EASTERN EUROPE!

If the American people think this is not a serious issue for Europe, they are drunk on the worst possible self-inflicted koolaide.

What a disaster. I remember Hunter Biden's involvement in Ukraine had something to do with fracking - think them wanting to frack the Donbass was a big part of the motivation to go in there.

I don't care if Russell Bentley is about to become a Russian citizen - in my book he's a better American than most of our so-called leadership.

Good on Ben Norton and Max Blumenthal for covering this.

Thanks for posting, Mimi!

@Blue Republic

probably is one of the main issues in Ukraine. Hillary Clinton's Global Shale Initiative, in which the State Dept. proposed to subsidize fracking in several countries, including Ukraine, may have been one of the motives for the coup.

You find yourself asking, if Ukraine was the poorest and most corrupt country in Europe, how was Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, able to pay its attorney, Hunter Biden, $50,000 a month. Where was the money coming from? Clearly it wasn't coming from their thriving economy. If they had been thriving, they wouldn't have needed all our "help."
