And so, in July of last year, Congressmen John Conyers of Michigan and Ted Yoho of Florida drew up an amendment to the House Defense Appropriations bill (HR 2685) that âlimits arms, training, and other assistance to the neo-Nazi Ukrainian militia, the Azov Battalion.â It passed by a unanimous vote in the House.
Yet the State Department has never claimed to have such information about Azov, so funding to the group cannot be blocked by the Leahy law. The congressional source I spoke to pointed out that âeven if Azov is already covered by Leahy, then no there was no need to strip it out of final bill.â Indeed, the Leahy law cannot block funding to groups, no matter how noxious their ideology, in the absence of âcredible informationâ that they have committed human-rights violations. The Conyers-Yoho amendment was designed to remedy that shortcoming.
The article is explicitly stating neo-naci groups...I am not stating anything just aksing what are youre thoughts?
I was asking a question...is it good to finance such organizations for Ukraine? Like Azov or C19? Any day of week...
Leftist?
The Nation is the oldest continuously published weekly magazine in the United States, covering progressive[3] political and cultural news, opinion, and analysis. It was founded on July 6, 1865, as a successor to William Lloyd Garrison's The Liberator,[4] an abolitionist newspaper that closed in 1865, after ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Thereafter, the magazine proceeded to a broader topic, The Nation. An important collaborator of the new magazine was its Literary Editor Wendell Phillips Garrison, son of William. He had at his disposal his father's vast network of contacts.
So you think that supporting neo nazi groups is good for Ukraine?
