And Putin is using the notorious Wagner Group, founded by Dimitri Utkin, a former GRU who is identified as being Neo-Nazi (he even has an SS tattoo on his neck or shoulder). The Wagner Group chose its name because of German composer Richard Wagner, Hitler’s favorite composer. Within the Wagner Group is a unit called Task Force Rusich, which is also reported to have Neo-Nazi sympathies.
The Wagner group may be scum too, but I hardly think they are Neo-Nazis considering they are Russians who obviously hate the Nazis. But the US isn’t supporting the Wagner Group with billions in arms and military training like we are with Azov, which is a big difference. My perspective is that of an American whose country is being dragged into this mess against my wishes, and probably the wishes of the majority of other Americans. And it’s OUR TAX DOLLARS supporting these scumbags, Putin’s relationship with the Wagner Group is not my concern.
