Definitely a partnership of convenience. As a group with prominent historical ties to National Socialists, it's wise to limit their military power. OTOH, they have been extremely effective in fighting Putin's army.

The enemy of my enemy...
- Because nobody learned anything from operation Gladio. Once the war is over these guys will be doing terror attacks all over Europe with weapons they stashed and the US will act all surprised again.
Seems just like an ideological alignment.. why not supporting them then?

This makes me believe Ukraine it's running out of grinder meat, for the US to ally with their ideological peers openly beside the appearances of "American freedom" being so important and being publicly condemned for it.

  Being recluted for a pardon and 10 times the minimum wage than rotting into a prison seems like a fair deal at least for me.
  
  I think lifting a ban of doing business with neo-nazis it's several times worst.
  
  Why would you lift the ban if you are not planing to do business with them?
