Appearing from Ukraine Monday on MSNBC's 'The ReidOut,' Navy veteran Malcolm Nance said he joined forces there because 'it's time to take action.'

“The war that is being waged here is being waged against everybody. His latest book, “They Want to Kill Americans,” focuses on the ideologies that led to the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. And that is the fundamental reason everyone is here,” he added. You have another group — I won’t even refer to the Russians as an army — just using mass heavy weapons that are used in combat against civilians,” he explained. “So about a month ago I joined the international legion here in Ukraine, and I am here to help this country fight what is essentially a war of extermination. This is an existential war, and Russia has brought it to this people and they are mass murdering civilians and there are people here like me who are here to do something about it.”
