Foreign Fighters in Ukraine Could Be Time Bomb for Their Home Countries

The real question, when it comes to Ukraine’s foreign legion and some of the more distasteful characters that its international call-to-arms has attracted, is how much of a threat they pose to their countries of origin. The loosely organized International Legion, which may not have any central command, is limited in its ability to vet volunteers. Radical miscreants from all over the world who subscribe to the blood-and-soil ideology of neo-Nazi subcultures like the Misanthropic Division have a very real opportunity to travel to Ukraine, get military training, and participate in intense armed conflict against a technologically advanced enemy. If they survive, their combat experience could give them the confidence and ability to carry out acts of political violence in their home countries. This is clearly cause for concern at a time when incidents of hate crimes and domestic terrorism are on the rise.
Note : l’article prend soin de réfuter l’idée que toute l’Ukraine (ou ses forces armées) serait gangrenée par les néo-nazis. En revanche, la question du retour des éléments extrémistes qui vont faire leurs classes au combat est préoccupante. (Vu qu’on cause en ce moment de jihadistes revenus de Syrie et des crimes qu’ils ont commis en France…)
