In first, U.S. brands white supremacists as foreign terrorists

Members of the Russian Imperial Movement who are volunteers of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic pose with weapon simulators at a training base in Saint Petersburg in 2015. WASHINGTON -- The United States on Monday branded a Russian far-right group as a foreign terrorist organization, the first time it has targeted white supremacists with tools regularly used against jihadist groups.

"This is the first time the United States has ever designated white supremacist terrorists, illustrating how seriously this administration takes the threat," said Nathan Sales, the State Department counterterrorism coordinator. Sales said that the United States was alarmed by the rise in white supremacist violence around the world, including attacks on Muslims in Christchurch, New Zealand, and against Hispanics in El Paso, Texas.

Most notoriously, Trump said that neo-Nazis whose 2017 march in Charlottesville, Virginia devolved into violence included "very fine people."He said that the designation was made possible by an order by Trump that allows designation of terrorists based on their training, not necessarily participation in violence.

The story is far-fetched. Even Azov battalion, an ultra-nationalist paramilitary unit, trained by the Canadian military as part of the mission in Ukraine, and involved in more than one terrorist attack in Ukraine and abroad, is not included in this list.

Shoot first Order,I hope!

Now do communist groups like antifa they are actually more in numbers and activity.

What does someones skin colour have to do if they are a supremacists...That is just evil saying someone is bad because they are white. What about Yellow Green Blue and Black supremacist. Twitter should ban CTV news for being raciest.

They need to brand domestic white supremacist groups as terrorists as well. This is just paying lip service unless they do that.

No way. You mean the evil muslims in a land thousands of miles away have some company? White males you say, gotta see it to believe it.

So realDonaldTrump is a TERRORIST *president.
