| − | :::Bottomline: Ukraine has been dealing with this problem of reconciliation since 1945. Sure, Nazis were treated harshly for their crimes in the Soviet era, but comparatively not much harsher than anywhere outside Ukraine, and certainly not with Nazi methods. Then from 1991-2014, came [[glasnost]], and the healing continued. But since 2014 and the US-backed Maidan coup and NATO assistance, Nazis and swastikas are crawling out of the woodwork. Is this the type of country you want America to be? Is this the culture of democracy we're defending? Is this how you want the crumbling American Empire to be remembered?
