- jedmeyers 5y agoYou don’t understand, they are “nazi” because they are nationalists and support their country. So Russian nazis are going to attack Ukrainian nazis do “denazificate” them.
- nickysielicki 5y agoAzov battalion is full-on white nationalist neo nazi and they’re a large and legitimate player in this war. And they’ve been wiped off the map tonight. I guess it depends on your definition of a made up word but I’d certainly call it denazification.
- woodruffw 5y agoI don't know what the Azov battalion is, but I don't think shelling Kiev has much to do with them. Edit: They're a far-right/neo-Nazi group in the Donbas, apparently.
- nickpp 5y agoNot the whole country, just the President. Remember, the Russian people generally do not want any wars, they are not very prosperous and happy.
- BasDirks 5y agoNo. The Russian people are accountable.
- waffleiron 5y agoBut somehow the US citizens are never accountable for their illegal wars. The hypocrisy is astounding.
- nickpp 5y agoIt’s Russia invading an independent country right now, not USA. Don’t change the subject.
- pruski 5y agoNot just the president, there’s a whole elitist gang around him. Once he’s out, things might get even worse

- tehjoker 5y agoYea, the US weapons going to the Azov Battalion are certainly not undermining that case.
- jazzyjackson 5y agoCan you say what you mean for those of us not familiar with the Azov Battalion?
- tehjoker 5y agoNATO (the US) is funding Nazi nationalists that wear swastika tattoos and think Bandera was good. They are doing this because Ukrainians don't want a civil war, so it's hard to find people to fight and die. Therefore, we pick the moderate rebels as we are so fond of doing.
- woodruffw 5y agoI just learned about the Azov battalion about 15 minutes ago, but I can't find any sources online that indicate them having more than a few hundred volunteers. The US has a knack of dumping weapons on countries and having those weapons eventually end up in the hands of reactionaries, but I think at present those reactionaries make up a vanishingly small fraction of the weapons recipients.
- tehjoker 5y agoI can't claim to be intimately familiar with Ukraine, but based on the US's history of funding the most violent psychopaths imaginable, I really doubt it's an accident. I will also note that in the past, several elements of NATO's high command were former Nazi generals, so I really doubt there's a ton of angst about it internally.
- woodruffw 5y agoAbsent any evidence that NATO arms were specifically directed towards neo-Nazi groups (and not just groups affiliated with Ukraine's national police, which Azov unfortunately seems to be), I think there's nothing to support anything except it being an accident. And again, this is from someone who exercises extraordinary skepticism in the context of US international action.
