NY Times ignores the obvious, that only Nazis would want to wear Nazi insignia, but adds this little gem, "In the American South, some have insisted that today, the Confederate flag symbolizes pride, not its history of racism and secession."
Racism denial day at the NY Times.
The decision by some Ukrainian soldiers to wear patches with Nazi icons threatens to reinforce Russian propaganda used to justify the invasion. It also could give the symbols mainstream life after the West's decades-long efforts to eliminate them.
