WARSAW—Tens of thousands of Poles marched across downtown Warsaw on Saturday, in an independence-day procession organized by a nationalist youth movement that seeks an ethnically pure Poland with fewer Jews or Muslims.

The largely young crowd shot off roman candles and chanted “fatherland,” carrying banners that read “White Europe,” “Europe Will Be White,” and “Clean Blood.” Some of the marchers flew in from neighboring countries—Slovakia, Spain and Hungary—waving flags and symbols those countries used during their wartime collaboration with Nazi Germany.

Considering Hitler's and the Nazi parties' views about Poles, Polish neo Nazi's are a special brand of stupid, above and beyond even the common garden variety type of neo Nazi.

To give you a sense of scale, the population of Poland is nearly 40 million people so even though this is larger than most such rallies, it still doesn't amount to much. However, based on their voting there are quite a few Poles who, while not as radical, do have similar ideas. I am genuinely curious about what Merkel et al were thinking was going to happen when they tried to foist Muslims on Eastern Europe -- they can't possibly have been ignorant of the history there.

Well, if they need another good ass kicking, I'm sure drones kill Nazi's as easily as they kill civilians in the middle east.

Yes, let's start bombing Polish nationalists. I'm sure that will help to improve our standing overseas.

One would hope. 

It's a big pain in the ass to stop out fascism, man. A bit of gratitude is always welcome. ;)

Or we could just take a page out of old Schicklgruber's playbook and test our weaponry out on the citizens of other nations first.  

WRT to drones, we already pretty much do that already. Our "drone the terrists to death" policy has always blatantly ignored national boundaries and been very blase about collateral damage in the guise of "making the world safer."

It's unfortunate to see supposed liberals arguing for such a thing (even if facetiously), but not entirely unexpected given the current climate. Not sure which parts of those statements are more sad to me.

It boggles the mind that Trump supporters can still see him as a tough guy leader when he is so groveling and obsequious toward Putin. If Obama had licked the boot of another world leader like this, Republicans would have called for his head.

Perhaps. However, in today's political environment, it is much, much more important that his attitude towards Putin is drawing strong condemnation and outrage from liberals -- any repercussions to his image are secondary.
