Ukrainian Boxer Holds Nazi Flag While Accepting Medal (Jimmy Dore)

16-year-old Ukrainian boxer Diana Petrenko took the silver medal at a recent boxing tournament in Hungary, and while on the medal stand took the opportunity to unfurl the flag of the Azov Battalion, a Ukrainian neo-Nazi militia force. She was asked to put down the flag, but otherwise will face no repercussions, but meanwhile Russian athletes are barred from even participating in international athletic competitions just by dint of their nationality.

Jimmy and his panel of The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal and American comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the casual acceptance of Nazi iconography when it’s in service of U.S. imperialism.



The clip actually deals with the economic fallout of the sanctions. The flag held up in the thumbnail reveals that the Russians were correct about the Nazi problem in Ukraine.
