The U.S. Congress passed a $1.7 trillion government funding bill that includes more aid for Ukraine in the final vote of the 117th Congress.
In spite of the fact that back in 2019 forty Democratic Party representatives signed a letter that openly condemned the Nazi Azov Battalion in Ukraine, these same Democrats, along with eighteen Republican senators, voted to give Ukraine and the Azov Battalion another $45 billion to cap off over a hundred billion in U.S. grants this year.
“On October 16, 2019, the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee’s counterterrorism subpanel, Rep. Max Rose (NY), led a letter signed by forty Democrats asking the State Department why they had not placed Ukraine’s Azov Battalion on the U.S. list of ‘foreign terrorist organizations’ (FTOs).
In the letter, the lawmakers compared the Azov Battalion to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and discussed how, Brenton Tarrant, the Christchurch, New Zealand mosque shooter, who massacred fifty-one people in 2019, had been radicalized by the ‘ultranationalist militia organization’ which ‘openly welcomes neo-Nazis into its ranks’.
‘For Example, the Azov Battalion is a well-known ultranationalist militia organization in Ukraine that openly welcomes neo-Nazis into its ranks. The group is so well-known, in fact, that the 115th Congress of the United States stated in its 2018 omnibus spending bill that none of the funds made available by this act may be used to provide arms, training or other assistance to the Azov Battalion. The United Nations has chronicled human rights abuses and incidents of torture in this group’s relatively short history. Despite these facts, Azov has been recruiting, radicalizing, and training American citizens for years according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The Christchurch, New Zealand massacre was a turning point for counterterrorism efforts. In his manifesto, the shooter claimed he had trained with the Azov Battalion in Ukraine, and he routinely wore a neo-Nazi symbol associated with them. Both the Poway, CA and El Paso, TX shooters said they were directly influenced by the terrorism committed at Christchurch. The link between Azov and acts of terror in America is clear’.
The letter was signed by prominent Democrats such as Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, Rep. Eliot L. Engel, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Rep. Stephen F. Lynch, Rep. Jim Cooper, Rep. Gregory Meeks, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Rep. Ro Khanna, and Rep. Al Green”. -Gateway Pundit
The Russian special military operation was never about the Ukrainian people. On the contrary, it has always been a war waged against the globalist proxy force of NATO-Nazis residing in Ukraine.
Additionally, as a result of the mammoth package, the city of Washington, D.C., will be the recipient of a ‘Ukrainian Independence Park’ and monuments to journalists, while $7.5 million will be allocated to “developing a better understanding of the domestic radicalization problem”.
One can’t help but consider if examining the overt corruption emanating from Kiev and D.C. could provide the government with deeper insight into what may have actually contributed to the alleged radicalization of what was an otherwise ordinary and trusting American citizenry.
