    I am going to beat the shit out of anyone who tries to compare this Ukrainian nazi shit to the IRA. Including the Pogues.

      It's funny because British intelligence used Neo-Nazis as catspaws, knowing that the Neo-Nazis would randomly attack and murder civilians. The British Media could then point to the random nature of the Nazi attacks to say that the IRA-UK conflict was just a bunch of random terrorist massacres instead of an armed political struggle. British Intelligence, in typical British Intelligence fashion, viewed unchecked civilian deaths as a desirable tool for propaganda.

      God that shit is depressing. The IRA responded to Blue shirts "honoring" the Rising as a catholic supremacist event by threatening to fuck them up if they marched on the anniversary. The Blue Shirts didn't show, go figure.

      Donetsk is the similarity to the IRA, if nothing else
