Former MSNBC on-air terrorism and national security analyst Malcolm Nance is now fighting Russians as he joins what is essentially a Ukrainian version of the French Foreign Legion.
Nance made it known during an appearance on Joy Reid’s 7 PM show. He stated that his friends are in the Ukrainian army as a reason for his choice to join; Nance added that he had seen enough carnage a few weeks into Russia’s unprovoked war.
“You know, as the more, I saw of the war going on, the more I thought, ‘I’m done talking,’ all right?’” Nance told Reid
“It’s time to take action here. So, about a month ago, I joined the international legion here in Ukraine, and I am here to help this country fight, you know, what essentially is a war of extermination.”
The former naval intelligence officer who became executive director of The Terror Asymmetrics Project on Strategy, Tactics and Radical Ideologies appeared on the program in full camo, explaining his desire to make a difference.
“The more I saw of the war going on, the more I thought, ‘I’m done talking, all right? It’s time to take action here,’” Nance told Reid.
“I am here to help this country fight what essentially is a war of extermination. This is an existential war, and Russia has brought it to these people, and they are mass murdering civilians, and there are people here like me who are here to do something about it.”
