The instrumentation of fascism and Canada’s hidden Nazi past

Yaroslav Hunka, the Nazi-aligned former SS member who received a standing ovation in Canada's Parliament last year, is far from the only fascist veteran who found refuge in the country, according to author and political activist Yves Engler.

"What came out of that was a sort of retrospective on Canada's role in bringing in large numbers of – particularly Ukrainian, Eastern European – Nazi-allied individuals, or who fought with the Nazis during World War Two," said Engler on Sputnik's The Critical Hour program.


The activist explained that Canada's parliament had made efforts to study the issue in the past, but the investigation was dropped when former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau was implicated.

“The Canadian government saw these right-wing, particularly the Ukrainians, as part of a battle against the Soviet Union,” Engler noted. “And then once the Soviet Union disintegrated they have really sort of viewed right-wing Ukrainians and nationalist Ukrainians as a geopolitical tool to weaken Russia and, of course, that's still [going on] in the context of this NATO proxy war today.”


The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) worked with a number of fascist and Nazi figures throughout the Cold War, including the notorious Nazi torture chief Klaus Barbie. The CIA recruited Barbie for his brutality and anticommunist zeal, working with the fascist to track down and kill Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara in Bolivia in 1967. Guevara had traveled to the country to spark a peasant uprising against Bolivia's US-backed authoritarian leader René Barrientos.

Germany stokes war with Russia, insists they’re the good guys this time

German defense chief Boris Pistorius announced the country would be reinstating compulsory military service this week as Europe appears to be inexorably drawn towards militarization and hostility towards Russia.

“The situation that they are all really preparing for, they won't tell their own citizens this… [is] they want to put NATO troops in Ukraine,” said security analyst Mark Sleboda on Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program.


Host Garland Nixon argued Western leaders are “at war with their own people,” attempting to manufacture consent for a conflict against the wishes of a war-weary populace. “I'm in the US and the taste for any war or anything else with Ukraine – even sending money to Ukraine – here is collapsing,” he said.

Meanwhile, European citizens seem more fixated on economic concerns than war on Russia, with major protests bringing European capitals to a standstill over the past several months. The election of pro-Palestine firebrand George Galloway in the UK represented a rejection of the continent’s pro-war establishment.

As the rise of Russia threatens to topple Western hegemony, it seems political leaders are committed to protecting their power at almost any cost. Will Russians once again be forced to save the world from European brutality?

Russian Valkyrie: How blue-eyed ballet dancer turned into military commander

This female soldier with call sign Valkyrie had no combat experience when she came to the conflict zone.

"Yes, I am a theater dancer by profession," she tells Sputnik. "But it really helps to endure physical stress. Because at the Academy of Russian Ballet you go through a sort of military training – it's an 'army for girls', which shapes you as a person. So yes, this experience helps, oddly enough."


The beautiful slim blue-eyed woman is also a deputy commander of the assault company of Russia's Espanola brigade. She says that she never sought a senior position, but her commander said she has organizational skills.

"The fighters of our assault company and the commander himself could say whether I handled it well. Espanola's motto is: 'Never retreat and never give up.' They promoted me, and so far it seems to be working."


Valkyrie has learnt a lot of life lessons at the combat zone and she wants to pass on her experience to Russian youths: "I don't want the younger generation be sort of pampered flowers on the lawn. Let them develop in sports, let them develop as true patriots," she concludes.

Biden's State of the Union address: POTUS vows US will 'fight to the last Ukrainian' - analyst

By pledging during the State of the Union address that the US "will not walk away" from its support for the Kiev regime, President Joe Biden effectively "assured the world and 'history' that America will fight to the last Ukrainian," Michael Shannon, a political commentator and Newsmax columnist, told Sputnik.

It "might be reassuring if the world hadn't recently witnessed the great Afghanistan skedaddle," Shannon said, referring to the chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan in late August 2021.


Commenting on Biden's pledge to "stand with Ukraine" and provide it with weapons, the columnist noted that "who will be operating the weapons as Ukraine's fighting age manpower dwindles was left unsaid."

As for POTUS calling on Congress to pass another aid package for Ukraine, Shannon stressed that "many Republicans are more worried about our [US] border than Ukraine's so passage of this latest bill remains uncertain, in spite of Biden's State of the Union yelling."

Military commander with call sign Valkyrie has explained how Russian women fight and defend their Motherland in the zone of the special military operation.

"I realized that such a chance could come once in a lifetime, because defending the Motherland is an honor. This is an honor that is not given to everyone. I grabbed this opportunity and joined [the Espanola brigade]. At the front line, you also stop perceiving yourself as a girl. No, you are a fighter. You are given certain tasks that you must accomplish."

Each fourth US citizen wants their state to secede, Alaska first to leave

The survey conducted by YouGov in February showed that 36% of Alaskans want their state to leave the federal United States and establish an independent nation.

The idea of saying farewell to Washington is also supported by 31% of residents of Texas, 29% in California and 28% in New York and Oklahoma, respectively. Independence movements are also popular in US territories such as Hawaii and Puerto Rico. On average, one in four US citizens is pro-secessionist.

Secessionism is especially popular among Republicans – for instance, in Texas 44% of GOP-aligned citizens support the possible ‘Texit’, believing that this bold move will help solve the migration crisis and gain full control over the border with Mexico.
