Ukrainian nazis are an insignificant minority with no real political power, but also it would be way too much to ask them to stop wearing nazi symbols or to not show them off front and center in all their propaganda.
And really, doesn't every military have its nazis? That's why we also constantly see pictures of American and Russian soldiers wearing nazi patches, right?
tbh we do see that for both of those armies, albeit not nearly as often
to the
army's Planck-length credit, there were some scout-snipers or whatever that actually got in trouble for nazi shit in like 2006
If these are the guys you're thinking of they didn't get in actual trouble.
HEY!
The finger was waved at them. And they promised to be on their best behavior from now on.

Aussie SOF did it too

Red Army enters chat
There probably actually are plenty of US military Nazis though
This is patently false. The head of the Ukrainian armed forces posed with a painting of Bandera on Banderas birthday and it was posted on the official twitter of the Ukrainian parliament. The head of the armed forces is not a position with no political power.
For the 8 years between maidan and Russia's entry into the civil war there were dozens of stories in western media and reports by foreign governments regarding the rise of nazism in Ukraine.
You have to be intentionally ignorant to say that Nazism isn't a major thing in ukraine.
It's hard to infer tone over the internet sometimes, so no harm done. Just letting you know that Babs was making a joke highlighting the absurdity of deluding one's self into thinking that Ukrainian Nazism doesn't run deep.
Oh thank god.
I was getting a bit weirded out thinking "how is this a hexbear?"
Our poster's are just to good folks. Many people are saying this
