Quoted: d Ironically the death heads insignia isnt a nazi emblem and originated with the Prussians and saw use during WW1 on many uniforms in some units. Nothing associated with ideology, racism or anything else as it was used later by the SS. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: d Quoted: Our platoon sigil was a totemkopf. Many units did similar things. Some of our guys got that tattooed on them. And no one in SoCal ever said a word about them, then. I've never seen the crossed Stielhandgranate before though.

Quoted: Were crusaders the baddies though ? Also, a 800 year past s not the same as a 80 years past View Quote The Crusaders have a somewhat checkered history of killing Jew and Muslim civilian populations because they wanted the real estate. One of their first acts after taking Jerusalem was to burn down the synagogue. |

Quoted: All Canadians must be communist because Trudeau is right? I should fucking hate Canada and all Canadians, even if they move here, because of Trudeau and the Marxists in the Canadian government right? The USA should NEVER help out that weak ass Canadian military if ithat country ever gets invaded because Canada is full of gun banning communists, right? View Quote Well at least you got some stuff right with what you said above. Yes your likely right, most Canadians are in fact communists.. Canada doesnt need US help, apparently we are now aligned with China. |

Quoted: Photoshop? View Quote I don’t care if they are actual nazis, or being framed, still not our problem, or our fight. It’s europes. I’ll support actual nazis if the fight is in our interests, and Ukraine is not. Fighting the fight , the REAL THREAT that’s already on us soil , the one that’s more dangerous to ME, than Russia ever was, is, or ever was is my priority. If I’m fighting in another war, it’s this one, right here, not in fucking Ukraine, over protecting politician money laundering operations. . Take your massive pile of cash and weapons and solve your own problems already, or get your actual neighbors to help. |

Quoted: Russians killed millions of them and got away with it internationally because of fellow travelers in the US. It's like the Slavic equivalent of wearing a Crusader patch while killing Muslims.

Poland still wants Ukraine to apologize for this, and there is debate about what happened how much responsibility Ukraine has. With that said, once Russia invaded, Poland put this aside and stepped up to help their neighbor by accepting over 1M refugees and providing weapons.

War is not an internet argument you can just grab a random point and feel like that counterbalances the entire opposing side.

The Byzantine Catholic church was also persecuted even though they recognized Rome/Latin Rite. - 3) Poland confiscated Ukrainian farms -4) Poland took over whole villages, confiscated homes and moved Poles in. 5) Poland routinely persecuted and executed Ukrainians for opposing them. You know how I know? My grandparents told me about it in the 1970s and my mother is still alive and remembers when she was a little girl. A Polish official shoved a stick in my grandmother's ear to the point where it ruptured an eardrum because she didnt take his fucking orders. She always had to turn her head when she talked to me. So, I wonder what all the brave 2A-supporting ARFCOMMERS, who condemn Ukrainians for fighting Poles around WW2, would do if Mexico, Russia, China, or whomever did the above to them, their property, or their family? And before anyone says that I don't like Polish people, my wife is part Polish. I am very happy that Poland and Ukraine have been standing together for decades. |

We have already contributed more money and weapons than 10x everyone else combined. A few short years from now the USA will be the Soviet Union 2.0, flat broke facing violence, collapse and serious problems, and shit like this is part of how we got there. 1. Blowing money on shit we shouldn’t… 2. Not knowing the difference between important spending and stupid spending. Ukraine, for usa interests is stupid spending. We already gave them probably 10x russias entire yearly defense budget in cash, and same in weapons systems. Enough already. |

Quoted: I'm saying you are ignorant of the meaning. Because you are. But please, go ahead and continue to demonstrate your ignorance. Not everything that uses similar symbols means what is later historically applied to the Symbol. Do you call the Ancient Druids who used Swastikas Nazis too? View Quote Yes. Those Nazi forest fucks were neck deep in National Socialism carving their 25-point plan all over the fucking woods.
