All I can say is Ukraine is weird. Before these Nazis were fighting Russia they were fighting literal communists in the street. They're Ukrainian nationalists, which is understandable. I guess they're not so picky about who gives them weapons. I don't think they have much to do with the old Nazis -- they're not observant Nazis -- they're some kind of neo-Nazis who as we know are all over the place. Some of them are prison gangs, right? They're not all Hitler Youth standouts.

Another angle on this: You know who else likes skulls and lightning bolts and shit? Tough guys and wannabe tough guys. People who fancy themselves murderous, a lot of 'em look up to the SS. Sometimes patches are just patches on guys whose motivation isn't entirely political.

I don't think they have much to do with the old Nazis -- they're not good Nazis -- they're some kind of neo-Nazis who as we know are all over the place. Some of them are prison gangs, right?
