Invasion?

Not at all. We shall join them in crushing the enemies of the people!

I really want to hear more from Forty Two about how Hillary is a warmonger and Trump isn't.
Considering Trump hasn't mongered any wars, I'd think this was obvious. Libya was Hillary's baby. She hasn't seen a war she didn't like. Remember, she's so tough she just jumps out of airplanes and ducks her head to avoid the sniper fire.

I’d really like Trump to mess up a war. But not with Russia.
Can't happen. Trump is in cohoots with the Russians. They love him. Don't they? Trump is Putin's puppet.

Training kids to kill at Ukrainian nationalist camp

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — The campers, some clad in combat fatigues, carefully aim their assault rifles. Their instructor offers advice: Don’t think of your target as a human being.

So when these boys and girls shoot, they will shoot to kill.

Most are in their teens, but some are as young as 8 years old. They are at a summer camp created by one of Ukraine’s radical nationalist groups, hidden in a forest in the west of the country, that was visited by The Associated Press. The camp has two purposes: to train children to defend their country from Russians and their sympathizers — and to spread nationalist ideology.

“We never aim guns at people,” instructor Yuri “Chornota” Cherkashin tells them. “But we don’t count separatists, little green men, occupiers from Moscow, as people. So we can and should aim at them.”

The nationalists have been accused of violence and racism, but they have played a central, volunteer role in Ukraine’s conflict with Russia — and they have maintained links with the government. Earlier this year, the Ministry of Youth and Sports earmarked 4 million hryvnias (about $150,000) to fund some of the youth camps among the dozens built by the nationalists. The purpose, according to the ministry, is “national patriotic education.”

A camp founded by a Ukrainian nationalist group teaches children to use assault rifles to kill Russians and their sympathizers. They are also being inculcated with nationalist ideology, including derision of LGBT rights. (Nov. 12)
