“Canadian Forces Capt. Véronique Sabourin said all Canadian military members training Ukrainian troops were given information to help them recognize patches and insignia associated with right-wing extremism. Ukraine is responsible for vetting its own personnel, she added.”
She’d have been better off just saying oops!. I wonder how Turdeau will reward her. Another batch of Canadian soldiers left Canada yesterday bound for Ukrai um I mean Poland.
US troops likely too.
I remember this absurdity from Vietnam days.
Recognize their patches and insignia… in order to recruit them?
What I think is actually going on is cynical Western Nazis using gullible Ukrainian Nazis as cannon fodder in a war that’s not really about the Ukraine at all… How history rhymes!
Has no-one followed the news( admittedly european outlets) over the past several years, of U.S. & U.K. paratroopers being deployed, in increasing numbers, to Poland?
Does Canada have a say in who serves in Israeli military forces?
@chipha I doubt that very much. The current ruling Liberal/NDP coalition seems to give minimal support to the Palestinians and less to Israel. Israel doesn’t take up much space in our media with the current government. The last federal government under Stephen Harper’s Conservatives were very much Zionist leaning though.
"Efraim Zuroff of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Israel said in an interview with this newspaper that Canada failed to properly monitor its own military training program. “The Canadian government didn’t do its due diligence,” he said. “It’s the responsibility of the Canadian defence ministry to know exactly who they are training.”
I was just wondering about this part of the article and was being sarcastic. Sarcastic and caustic sound so much alike…I need to grow up and expand my mind. And I need the Bot to learn how to use the forum system’s quotes…
This is just a game of pass the buck. The only reason Canadian forces wouldn’t know who they were training is if they turned a blind eye to the situation.
“Ukraine is responsible for vetting its own personnel, she added.”
I was hoping that the brass would just tell these imbeciles to go pound sand after the head idiot told them they were “asking more than the government could give them right now”. Instead they get involved in this crapfest and let the wokies in the forces. So ashamed of them all and more so for my fellow citizens that have no clue about what’s really going on around them, let alone there.
