Could you not imagine the Proud Boys being allowed to serve as a unit if Canada seized Montana and Idaho, and the national guard needed resources? (With the assumption that the US had a GDP equivalent to Ukraine's.)

Keep in mind Ukraine is a very poor country being attacked by a much larger, richer, and more powerful country. This would be more comparable to Mexico deputizing the cartels if the US decided to invade.
i think you mean the cartels would deputize the Mexican government if the US decided to invade
Honestly I'd prefer to send them in first.
No, I cannot
Sounds like a lack of imagination, honestly. Per your sibling comment Ukraine needs all the resources it can get
For some reason, I feel like assistance in the effort from nazis would actually be a net harm to the cause.
If you have a limited headcount, a country invading you, and a violent bunch of nationalists who want to fight the invaders, you're going to turn them down?
