Canada is basically Argentina for Ukrainian nazis.

someone on twitter found this obscure youtube video with like 30 views It's a bunch of Canadian-Ukrainians in the 1980s getting hyped about the end of the soviet union. The guy self-describes as a "Banderite" around 7:29

This banderite guy is still around.

In a wide-ranging interview in the East Village on Tues., Feb. 15, 2022, Walter Zaryckyj (pronounced "Zarisky"), the executive director of the Center for U.S. Ukrainian Relations and a former New York University political science professor, talks at length about Russia's threatened invasion of Ukraine. He discusses the five possible invasion scenarios and also puts the current situation into historical context, including the connection to the forced Ukrainian famine of the 1930s that was perpetrated by Stalin. The most likely scenario that will happen if Putin takes aggressive action, he said, is that Russia will take over breakaway areas in eastern Ukraine. But to try to conquer all of Ukraine, including Kyiv, its capital and most populous city, Russia would need to bring in a much larger occupation force of 500,000 troops, which it is not currently in a position to do, Zaryckyj says. The interview runs 51 minutes. (Video by The Village Sun)
