    Shame on Jews for fighting for one of the most brutal anti-Semitic country Ukraine. Why do some Jews live in dangerous places? Move to a safer country!

    I’m not impressed.
    There may very well be a jew at the other end of that bullet.
    In world war one, it happened that jews killed jews. But at least there was the excuse of a draft.
    But to volunteer for an army that is fighting an army that has jews in it?!

    That’s a last thing we need that Jews should be killing russian soldiers.
    Did you think of your brothers in Moscow?
    All we need is a reason for some anticemites.
