I can see where arming troops with Nazis political leanings can cause some real issues. But I really wish these reporters would stop calling the Ukrainians Insurgents. Insurgents do not have established governments. And the Ukrainians do have a government. But Ukraine is fighting for its life, and no one is really willing to help. And I am sure this will be used as a point of interest on both sides. If I had the opportunity as a commander in Ukraine, I would have all my troops conduct a fighting withdraw west behind the Dnieper River. And they can use the river as a natural defensive obstacle. They cannot hold everywhere and allow many volunteers to stay behind to fight as Insurgents.

You had me until it mentioned Hillary, who constantly accuses everyone else of being Putin puppets, while her foundation took tens of millions from them while she was SOS.

As you look at these types of conflicts down through time, there is seldom a homogeneous front. Disparate groups confederate to achieve a goal, then fight each other for the spoils.

And to MSG Greg Kelly 's point. Yes, words matter. The indiscriminate use of emotion laden and non descriptive terms inappropriately, such as insurgency, nazi, facist, is tiresome and does not contribute to the conversation.
