It’s usually safe to say that when the term “Nazi” is used, it’s probably just a meaningless smear. Just a cheap way to say, “I don’t like those guys”.
But, the term Globalist means something more. I see the ties between Ukraine and Hunter Biden. I see Soros, and Schwab and the rest of the Globalists rushing to support the corrupt Ukrainian regime. I won’t have any part of that.
The left’s hypocrisy:
Just calling people NAZIs is not enough to use violence against them.....unless it is here in the US and ANTIFA/BLM is conducting the violence.
Azov is a far-right all-volunteer infantry military unit whose members – estimated at 900 – are ultra-nationalists and accused of harbouring neo-Nazi and white supremacist ideology.
As a battalion, the group fought on the front lines against pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk, the eastern region of Ukraine. Just before launching the invasion..
.These forces were formerly privately funded by Ukraines oligarchs – the most known being Igor Kolomoisky, an energy magnate billionaire and then-governor of the Dnipropetrovska region.
Individual members have professed to being neo-Nazis, and hardcore far-right ultra-nationalism is pervasive among members.
In January 2018, Azov rolled out its street patrol unit called National Druzhyna to “restore” order in the capital, Kyiv. Instead, the unit carried out pogroms against the Roma community and attacked members of the LGBTQ community.
“Ukraine is the world’s only nation to have a neo-Nazi formation in its armed forces,” a correspondent for the US-based magazine, the Nation, wrote in 2019.
Anyone who believes that Russian “stopping the Nazis” propaganda completely lacks any semblance of critical thinking ability. It’s very similar to Hitler’s lies about “attacks from Poland” before launching the blitzkrieg in Sept. 1939.
Problem is, it’s a Strawman Argument to say only Gateway Pundit has reported on it.

Neo-Nazi militias in Ukraine are preparing for all-out war with Russia as they arm themselves for the fight against Vladimir Putin’s forces
Pointing all of this out doesn’t make them or someone else pro-Putin.
The Main Stream Media should not be rooting for either side and opinion is the job of the editorial board of newspapers.
Secondly, there are people who don’t like Putin and yet who see Slo Joe’s, Hunter’s, Soros, the WEF, and other cretin like neo-Nazi’s involvement in this and in Ukraine, wondering to what extent Zelensky is corrupt, and are looking outside the narrow box some try to construct for others as the main stream media has done.
Saying someone is Pro-Putin” is along Rachel Maddow lines, when in reality many say Putin is horrible and also say the U.S. can play a role with sanctions, looking to restart Keystone XL, and letting Europe grow up and deal with their own back yard as the U.S. is $30 trillion on debt, going broke, and we don’t even take care of our own borders.
Nazis that aren’t even anti Semitic, just anti Russian. Putin used the same pretext to invade in 2015 and still has yet to provide any evidence that the rest of the world can acknowledge as genocide.
I sure wish Oleg would explain the Jew, Soro’s role in Ukraine.
Yes, there are Neo-Nazis in Ukraine, as they are in the USA, and in most countries. Few and far in between. There are also Communists there and some corrupted, mostly former, politicians. Biden and Soros used to be having influence over there.
However, almost all Ukrainians are nice, carrying, honest, hard working people, who just want to be left alone.
Pres. Zelensky is working hard to get rid of the corruption and excesses. That’s why they want to kill him!
Letting poor people of Ukraine be destroyed, because of some past sins, seems to be inhumane and heartless to me.
Unless those people badmouthing Ukraine are Russian trolls!
Why is it so difficult to believe there are neo-nazis in Ukraine? They’ve been there for years. The Bellingcat website has done exhaustive investigative reports going back years to document the Azov Battalion. Why are people trying to erase facts?
Poroshenko was a monster. Ukraine is in the shitter, in the most miserable way. And corruption has made what was once the wealthiest Republic of the Warsaw Pact into the poorest, with 1/4 to 1/10 the wealth of most other nations. And for the purpose of reforming our own foreign policies, it’s helpful to remember that.
If acknowledging those facts justify Russia attacking Zelenskyy’s administration in any way, shape, or form, you are a dangerous, psychopathic lunatic.
I don’t support Russia’s invasion into Ukraine but I’m not going to pretend Azov Brigade aren’t neo-nazis
Larry Johnson got it right. He must be destroyed. 😆
There are Neo-Nazis in Russia too. I would guess, a lot more of them!
No one believes most of this garbage except the InfoWars crowd.
And there are neo-Nazi’s everywhere...
It’s not a smear. Azov Nazi batallions have been wreaking havok in the East for a decade. The State Department pusahed out a neo-Nazi leader from a coalition of parties when the engineered their 2014 coup. Is Zelenskyy or the government neo-Nazi. Of course not, propaganda. But it is NOT a “smear.”
Gateway Pundit should have been long-ago banned from FR. It has always been nothing but a source of half truths and conspiracy nonsense.
I read a book recently about Berlin during the post WWII occupation, and read something I’d never heard of before.
IMMEDIATELY upon taking Berlin, Stalin had people find Hitler’s body and identify it. They found the name of Hitler’s dentist, found a dental assistant who worked for him, made her take them to the dentist office, found the dental records, identified the body, the took the dental assistant to the gulag, so she could not talk, where she remained for years. Her name was Käthe Heusermann.
Stalin knew immediately that Hitler was gone, but wanted to use the idea he might still be alive as the bogeyman to attack any opposition as Nazis seeking to restore Hitler to power. Which of course he did.
Thanks. Great ammo against the Putin trolls - both here and on Epoch Times board.
