Nationalist supporters of Russian President Vladimir Putin brought together controversial far-right politicians from across Europe on Sunday in an effort to demonstrate international support for Russia and weaken European Union commitment to sanctions imposed on Russia over its role in Ukraine.
Putins many critics pointed to the irony of St. Petersburg, his hometown, welcoming neo-Nazis as Russia prepares to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Soviet Unions victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. [ ]
Among the approximately 200 participants were Roberto Fiore, leader of Italys far-right party Forza Nuova, and members of the neo-Nazi Greek party Golden Dawn.
Russian participants included Alexei Zhuravlev, a member of Russias parliament, and Cossacks.

Oh well . . . I guess there's more than anti-Semitism that brings them together.
The thing these parties have in common is that they are all anti-American.
Europe has far-right politicians?
Yeah, how come the far left polititians are never identified?
It’s the AP. They have yet to receive their beatdown from Captain Obvious.
If anyone in Europe is labeled as ‘far right’ translate it as ‘against Islamic domination’
Yes, they have far right ones. They have racist parties that have more in common with the NAZIS than with any other group. They’re being bought by Putin; they’re proud to get the money too.
While the media and the Left does tar ordinary conservatives with this smear, there are true totalitarian types on the right who are racists. They’re not people standing up for liberty, property rights, capitalism, and national identity. There are real anti-Semites and racists in Europe who will make common cause with the likes of Putin and other opportunistic power hungry cranks.
This also puts in perspective the Putin propaganda machine about Ukraine. In Ukraine, Putin would have the world believe, that the country is run by power crazy Nazis. Of course, in his crazy scenario, real Ukranians don’t are not keen to run their own country. It’s the Nazis who are to blame. Meanwhile, he gathers in to himself all the whacky Nazi nut jobs out there to get at least some support in the West.
If you were Russian and saw NATO expanding into the Ukraine, would you be pro-America?
The Russians and the Ukrainians have been going at it for centuries, should we really be entangled in this?
US policy towards Europe has been very pro EU and very anti-nationalist. The United States has been encouraging mass African and Muslim immigration to Europe. If I were a European who cared about my borders, language and culture I would hate the United States too.
Neville Chamberlain in 1938: “The Russians and the Germans have been going at it for centuries; should we really be entangled in this?”
I suppose that the same viewpoint would construe George Washington as a “warmonger”, for saying “(i)f we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we at all times be for war”?
The Savage/Buchanan pro-weak-US line plays well with some here, but not most.
Obama is a walking, sh*t talking power vacuum. He sucks!
I’m talking about Russia and the Ukraine, not Russia and Germany, which incidentally, have not been at each others throats over the centuries.
If you think US troops should be fighting Russians in the Ukraine either get your gun or go there yourself, or send your children and grandchildren if you’re too old.
If you were paying attention, you would actually see that the two are, frankly, the same. Germany is the de facto ruler of the EU, which most Ukrainians have (because of US weakness) decided to turn to.
And Germany and Russia have indeed gone at each other over the centuries, but more notably after the emergence of the Kingdom of Prussia. If they end up allying temporarily again, it’ll be a harbinger of a hotter war to come.
The whole “US troops” and “go fight them yourself” liberal line is tiresome, especially when the underlying message is that US troops should be fighting nobody at all and leaving the USA and its allies utterly out in the coldespecially (when it comes to the Ukraine) after convincing them to disarm after promising to defend them. Take it somewhere else. (If I had superhero powers, I think I would fight them myself, since I would possess the ability to do so.)
Lol, the childishness comes out, and who is calling for NATO troops in Ukraine?
I should have asked who is calling for NATO troops intervening in Ukraine, because we do still send NATO troops there for military exercises, since Ukraine is our friend.

US and Nato troops begin Ukraine military exercise
About 1,300 troops from 15 countries - including the US and other Nato members - have begun a military exercise near Lviv in western Ukraine.
Many American politicians want to make Ukraine a part of NATO. That means US troops would be obligated to defend them from Russian attack.
Ukraine is not in NATO, so who is calling for NATO troops to intervene in Ukraine.
