I'm very aware of groups like the Azov Batallion and Right Sektor and a few others. But isn't it also true that the Azov Batallion is only a tiny portion of their military and the far right ultranationalist groups don't hold any seats in their government?

I don't think anyones denying Ukraine has nazis. But the US and pretty much every other country also has nazis.

Is there something I'm missing with Ukraine? Again, the raw numbers just don't seem that major.

    Imagine if the US "dealt with" the KKK problem by absorbing them into the US military. "There, no more KKK."

    That is pretty much what Ukraine did with a Nazi paramilitary group.

        I dunno, the Air Force is pretty much a Christian Reconstructionist sect now.
