Darksheare: "Ever heard of Azov?"

Sure, a battalion of fewer than 1,000 men in 2022, out of Ukraine's armed forces today totaling around one million -- Azov were largely destroyed in Russia's siege of Mariupol.

In 2014 Azov was taken over by Ukraine's government and its leadership replaced, its mission redefined.
Ukraine's Pres. Zelenskyy alone has appointed three different Azov commanders.

The use of the Azov Regiment for propaganda purposes by the Russian Ministry for Agitation and Propaganda is laughably absurd, though of course 100% understandable, considering it's all they have.

Bottom line: I think Goodwin's Law should be applied to any nonsense regarding Ukraine's Azov Battalion/Regiment/Brigade.

“Fewer than 1000”
Now.
They weren’t.
And the goose steppers were absolutely worshipped over there.
Funny thing is, the media once acknowledged it, now they either deny they exist and it happened or literally say “but they’re GOOD Nazis!”.
Soooooo, ever heard of Azov?
