Are mercenaries going to #Ukraine mainly from the far right?

Ukraine seen as training ground for some on far right
In 2019, members of the violent neo-Nazi organization the Base gathered on a North Georgia compound to train and plan terrorist strikes they hoped would

1. I've been wondering...

How long it would take for this concern to become a problem.

3. wouldn't be surprised

if true. Seems it would be easy for advocates of an RW dictatorship aka treasonous 1-6-21 SOLDIERS OF TRUMP. We have watch lists for alleged 'terrorists'. All who participated in the attempted coup on 1-6-21 need to be added to a no-fly list.

4. May these Nazi bastards learn an important military skill while in Ukraine.

How to die like a hero...These people should never be allowed to return.

How is it that our laws are so whacky, that we are aware of enemies of the people, and enemies of the state, to train, in the open, to execute a civil war in the US, and yet, they are allowed to continue their activities with impunity.

Training of armed militias that intend to overthrow our government, and rid the country of "undesirables", should be illegal and the participants should be jailed. I think that that is obvious. We are feeding the dog that bites us. Have we fallen to the point that we feel so constrained by the Constitution to be unable protect our lives and the lives of our families, by letting people train to kill us?

If we let suppurating wounds like Neo Nazis go untreated the infection will end up killing us.

5. None of the photos I've seen nor any of the interviews with these idiots that I've heard

would make me think they wanted to go some place where they were actually being shot at. I'm sure there are a few, but the vast majority appear to be followers and braggarts without any real ideas or backbone. They need more than Fox news to actually risk their lives. A few might go, but very few will stay. That's an actually war over there. Not the pretend White Men's games over here.

7. Correct

I read this morning many exmilitary memberz have been signing up, and the guy who was connecting them to donors to cover their travel said he had to deny a few who signed up due to their extremism. So at least this group does vet the signees.

6. Oh, so Ukraine is just like Mississippi, Alabama, Idaho,...

Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Washington, Texas, panhandle Florida, the Deep South, the Appalachians, and dozens of other areas within the US.

Awww, they are just like us.

8. Which Side Are They Fighting On?

Makes me wonder which side they're fighting on - Ukraine's or Russia's?

9. I'd be gathering a task force to monitor this... nt
