I realize mine is an unpopular view. To be clear, I do not support Putin nor the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. I just find it uncomfortable that so many are suddenly willing to look the other way while Ukraine employs militant Nazi battalions in their own national guard.
I also find it unsettling that all of a sudden Facebook unbanned the Azov Brigade, a known terrorist organization, but only as long as they are fighting against Russia [0]. Principles are principles and I can't support this kind of hypocracy.

- djohnston 5y agoIt's interesting that militant Nazi battalions are "the good guys" compared to the Russian invaders. Last time this matchup went down the Russians were the righteous. It's about survival for Ukraine, nothing else matters.
