What Is Ukraine’s Azov Battalion?
Snopes ^

Posted on 03/21/2022 5:47:48 PM PDT by navysealdad

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing military violence and instability have mobilized far-right extremists, playing into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s propaganda about “neo-Nazis” running the country as justification for invading Ukraine.

In a speech given just before Russia launched its ongoing attack on Ukraine, Putin justified what he described as a “special military operation.

Nope. You totally miss the point.

It is very foolish to misinterpret &/or misrepresent my political viewpoint merely because I reject your favored journalist for abusing the position & the power of the press.
But, by all means, enjoy your ‘news’ source.

Nope, I haven’t missed anything.

But, I will stand with Lara Logan before I stand with NWO puppets and their supporters (lying MSM/Schwab/$oros/UniParty Dems/RINOs, etc).

Go back and read the articles I posted, from YOUR favored sources.

THEY certainly seem to agree with Lara’s brilliant take on the situation, rather than the MSMs version.

No need to post to me, again. We’ll have to agree to disagree.

Have a good night.

I AGREE!!

The Russian National Unity [Russian Nazis] adopted a red and white modified swastika emblem, openly expressed admiration for German national socialism and publicly celebrated the rise of the Nazis.

MOST IMPORTANTLY many of Russian National Unity militia wearing black and camouflage uniforms; with the red and white modified swastika emblem, & publicly celebrated the rise of the Nazis joined PRO-RUSSIAN FORCES in Ukraine in 2014: when the war in Donbas began!!!

Further, the Russian National Unity sabotaged what was to be a “free and fair referendum.” Again, remember the conversation between Barkashov and a local Donetsk activist Barkashov said to Boitsov that he could CALL-OFF the “referendum on independence of the territory.”

Barkashov said that it WAS NOT NECESSARY to perform referendum the LEGOT way. He said that in the end no one would care about it.

He told Boitsov all that he had to do was to write whatever he found suitable. If he wants, he can say that 99% of people voted for joining Russia!!!!!!

I’m sure one of the possibilities Snopes considered to describe Azov was it being a battalion of former Orthodox Church altar and choir boys.

Of course, you totally are entitled to have a right to esteem Lara Logan.

However, you do not have the right to impose your views upon me. You indicate you “stand with Lara Logan’ “before I stand with NWO puppets and their supporters (lying MSM/Schwab/$oros/UniParty Dems/RINOs, etc).”

THAT EXACTLY IS THE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US.
I choose to be an independent thinker without the process of subjugating my views to a single reporter.

I WILL NEVER CHANGE MY STANCE AGAINST: Q-ANON, NWO puppets and those that support such i.e.MSM/Schwab/$oros/UniParty Dems/RINOs.

American Thinker is usually pretty spot-on with things, and tends to cite regularly.

I say that even if they retained some of their Nazi-esque hatred (I’m not sure they’d be willing to serve a government run by Jews if they have), let them deal with their invaders and then be dealt with afterwards. They clearly have the balls to fight, and they need every man they can get.

You're welcome.

Short memories, indeed. They can't even remember 2014 or even 2019, when the PlanDemIc was rolled out, just like what we're seeing now, with the gaslighting, etc.

There's a thread posted, too ... not that the blind sheep will read it, and, take note....

 

The America First Movement has a Sean Hannity Problem

In 2016, Donald Trump showed that a Republican candidate can run, and win, without swearing fealty to the permanent war party. He ran on a platform of “America First,” and since that moment almost all Republican politicians and commentators have at least paid lip service to the idea.

Yet now, all of that is being thrown aside for the sake of Ukraine.

In 2019, would-be America First Senator Josh Hawley delivered a speech about “Rethinking America’s Foreign Policy Consensus,” condemning “endless wars” and “metastasizing commitments” to far-off countries, and demanding a new narrower focus on keeping America and Americans safe and prosperous.

And then Ukraine came along, and Hawley suddenly looked like any other Republican from 2006.

It is one thing to see the Democrats eagerly join the CIA, State Department, and Pentagon in demanding the escalation of U.S. involvement in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. That alignment makes perfect sense politically—why wouldn’t the left align with the same national security state that embraces all of its values, and which has repurposed itself to target the left’s domestic political enemies on the right?

Seeing lawmakers on the right take the same stance, though, is both puzzling and pathetic......

Thanks, I’m getting sleepy.

I received a surprise birthday gift of a Freedom Phone: Uncancellable Apps, Decentralized Identity & Safe Web Browing.

There was no return address with only D.C. postmark: so all I can say is Thank-you! It made me feel very special

It most certainly IS for a bonafide “democracy”.

Quite common however for an authoritarian dictatorship.

Well, Putin grew the Russian nationalists [extremists and Russian neo-Nazis] fighting in the Eastern Ukraine on the side of the separatists and against the Ukrainian army.

Among fighters for the Russians are neo-Nazis activists supported by the Russian government and criminals wanted by Russian police.activists supported by the Russian government and criminals wanted by Russian police.

So, chances are Putin will eliminate them when he is ready.

Even MSM is now having to admit that Putin is only going after the really bad apples.
