Did they write this before or AFTER the war-propaganda blitz?

If after, pretty obvious what’s going on. That’s why I ONLY look at what was written about Azov BEFORE this year, when the lies about them, if any, were much less.

Why rely on Snopes. Just do an Internet search for Azov Battalion and makeup your own mind.

Isn’t there still a rule on FR about labeling Satire? Anything from Snopes is false, so at best it would be “satire”.

“Isn’t there still a rule on FR about labeling Satire? Anything from Snopes is false, so at best it would be “satire”.”

It is pretty bad when the Bidenistas have to use Snopes for a ‘source of truth’.

You know the Azov NAzis are bad when even Snopes can’t whitewash them.

“Snopes? Think I’ll pass”

Their rivals are Communists.

David Mikkelson, the co founder of dopes, is a serial plagiarist. Just like President Comatose

Nazis and communists are just two groups of socialists that domt necessarily like each other. Nazis are national socialists. Commumosts are not true communists, they are socializt working to achieve communism, which is 100 percent impossivble to achieve.
