You are deliberately misrepresenting what the actual article had to say. You’re trying to make it look like the National Guard is made up only or primarily of Right Sector members. In fact, the article says it is taking volunteers, and the Right Sector members and their units are using the opportunity to join. The article is silent about what the actual percentage of the National Guard recruits are Right Sector and not Right Sector.

You are misrepresenting what I said and trying to pigeonhole me. Your MO.

The EuroMaidan article said that Right Sector, Cossacks, maidan Self-Defense were all part of Kiev's National Guard.

No one knows what percentage of Right sector makes up this National Guard. I never said that I knew what percentage they made up.

But your quick knee-jerk reaction is quite telling.

“using the opportunity to join.” As if they would be told no?

And how would you know what I am trying to make anything look like.

I have said that Putin is a thug more times than I can count, because he is, but I also think that we should stay out of this, as Obama has the anti-Midas touch (Syria, Libya (Benghazi), Obama adm. support for Muslim Brotherhood which has partly led to Isreal, unfortunately, being closer to Russia than they are the U.S. and because McCain is RINO.

Maybe I am wrong, but are you in support of interventionism in Ukraine?

The overwhelming majority of Americans, tea Partiers, etc aren't.

On this issue I would not absolutely trust Fox. I haven’t seen any of their reporting that wasn’t second hand and sometime questionable and other times incorrect especially if the original source was Russian disinformation that was picked up and rebroadcast by the European media. Fox isn’t trying to deceive anyone. They simply don’t have the expertise or contacts to make sense of the mess.

There is no question that the military was deprived of funding under Yanukovych and his ministers. What many don’t know is Ukrainians were involved with us in Iraq and Afghanistan.
