For months, the Base, born in the US and with a web of cells all over the world, has been offering money to supporters or willing participants for targeted assassinations and attacks on the critical infrastructure of Ukraine, coinciding with allegations that its American founder, Rinaldo Nazzaro, was a Kremlin spy. Ukrainian authorities have also been warning in recent weeks of similar Russian intelligence operations covertly paying unknowing citizens to carry out sabotage inside their country.

Rightwing extremists ARE NEVER your friend, and they are always “just kidding” about their fascism. They are always pulling all the strings and yet publicly claim they are powerless to stop the puppets they animate.

Nazzaro, who is a former Pentagon contractor with the US special forces, declined to comment on the Ukraine cell of the Base and the killing when reached on his Telegram account.

“I have no personal involvement in this incident and I don’t know who is responsible,” he added.

Previously, he had publicly endorsed the group’s Ukraine operations on Telegram and said it was being overseen by members inside the country that he did not control.

Fascism is in some ways not even an idea, but rather a pattern of rhetoric where someone in power stokes violence against minorities and then when challenged by other powerful figures in a public forum claims they are powerless to stop said violence against minorities. It is a trick of speech where the speaker flips openly from encouraging violence upon minorities with their power to speaking about being powerless to inhibit violence against said minorities.

Throw these people in the closest dumpster you can find.
