I have repeatedly countered @Jezcoe that the above battalion is not powerless. They dominate the police force, they are in the RADA even if not out loud. They are mayors of towns. It’s minimizing and rationalization. Here i just did it it again.
By the way i never ever ever tell you what to do. Other than ask you nicely to never change.
From my understanding, the rejection of the Right Sector neutered the far right politically in Ukraine leaving basically the Azov Battalion as the vestige that held no real political power.
The Azov Movement since 2014 has softened it’s historic anti semitism because it just isn’t popular… and has moved away from the hard core far right…. Even though they are on the right.
The military arm, the Azov Battalion was pretty much destroyed in the defense of Mariopal and has been reformed as the Azov Regiment… it has the name of Azov… but not the same people.
So in my view… the painting of sending Neo Nazis in Ukraine billions of dollars in arms is not a fair assessment.
The majority are not hating on gay people. The issue is the indoctrination and forced acceptance at what we find amoral, especially regarding children.
When you have activists you’re also going to have the opposite side become active.
