Putin is Hitler reincarnated! Demented Joe is Mr. Chamberlain reincarnated.
INTERESTING INFO:
“The Azov battalion was organized in 2014 when the poorly armed and unprepared Ukrainian army was forced to fight an unexpected war against Kremlin-orchestrated “separatism” in eastern Ukraine.
Seeing how the military was failing, one of the richest Ukrainian industrialists and the governor of the Dnipro Oblast, Igor Kolomoisky, spent a hefty chunk of his own money to recruit and arm a volunteer battalion to defend Ukraine. The unit was named Azov after the small Azov Sea in southern Ukraine. This was quickly followed by a series of Ukrainian victories, in which Azov played a part.
Its initial sponsor, Kolomoisky, is Jewish and has since become an Israeli citizen, living in Israel. Not exactly neo-Nazi material, but the media influencers conveniently omit that fact. The smear is as absurd as if Hitler were to spread rumors about General Patton being a Nazi so as to hinder the American war effort. To reference American popular culture, Azov is the Ukrainian version of the Suicide Squad.
Accordingly, they chose a bellicose, ominous-looking emblem of the crossed letter Z that also calls to mind a modified Ukrainian Trident but, to the critics, it appears too close to the SS emblem or the swastika. It arguably follows traditional embroidery ornaments, and, after all, we don’t demonize the entire Buddhist community in Asia for the continued use of their traditional swastika symbol.
In the seven years since Azov was formed, it has been cleaned up to become a special unit in the Ukrainian National Guard, but the smear of being a neo-Nazi militia is still being artificially inflated out of proportion. It came to a point in January of 2021 when the battalion had to write an official refutation to a Time Magazine article that called them a “white-supremacist militia.”
If you remember what happened in Washington in January of 2021, you may wonder if the timing of that story was not coincidental and if a Russian influence operation may play a role in the sudden surge of “white supremacist” and “Nazi” name-calling in the American media, aimed to split and demoralize the country.
By the logic of the Nazi smear, Azov should be fighting on the Russian side against Zelensky. But Russian propaganda has never bothered to be consistent. The more insane, the better. Of the English-language sources, observe the debunking of one of the vile examples of the anti-Azov Russian hoaxes.
On the eve of the Netherlands’ referendum about relations with Ukraine, Russian propaganda released a video in which alleged “Azov members” in masks threaten Dutch citizens with violent terrorist acts and burn the Dutch flag. This example speaks volumes about the goals, methods, and targets of such operations. Speaking of neo-Nazi videos, here’s a recent one on Instagram, in which neo-Nazis swear allegiance to their Fuehrer. Only they are not Azov fighters, nor are they even Ukrainians. They are goose-stepping, black-clad young Russians declaring their undying love for the Putin regime.
In other words, Putlerjugend.
The best source is saved for last. It was published by The Hill and written by Kristofer Harrison, who worked for defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld and secretary of state Condoleezza Rice and was a foreign policy adviser to Sen. Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign. He is a co-founder and principal of AMS, a company that specializes in Russian information warfare.
In the article “Did California’s Ro Khanna get duped by Russia’s propaganda?,” Harrison writes: Congratulations, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), it appears you were just duped by Russia (and bragged about it). As a result, you promoted Russian propaganda about Ukraine’s Azov Battalion being Nazis with text in the behemoth $1.3 trillion spending bill.
The question is, who put you up to it? ... It is ridiculous nonsense that Ukraine is beset with a bunch of Nazis.
The Russians have been pushing this foolishness for a while. In Russia, if you want to discredit someone, call them a Nazi. Putin is using it to justify his war to his subjects. Russians are not particularly keen on attacking Ukraine. But if it is to free them from the yoke of Nazis, well, that’s different.
The reason why the Kremlin is using information war against the Azov Battalion, specifically, is partially because they sometimes make themselves easy PR targets. These are guys with guns fighting a Russian invasion, not a PR agency with media training. But the bigger reason is that the Azov Battalion is one of the most effective defensive units.
Russia can’t beat them on the battlefield, so they use K Street lobbyist sellouts to help cripple them. Who wants to provide guns to fascists? Nobody. That is the ruse you fell for. ... In this instance, the Russian active measure began with an article in a publication that should know better: Foreign Policy.
John Conyers read the piece on the Congressional Record. It then spread like wildfire among lazy journalists and Russia’s network of fools, knaves and propagandists. ... Russia is attacking the U.S., and quisling K Street lobbyists are helping them. Help us identify them.
Propaganda surely exists on both sides, it’s part of any war. But it’s curious to see how, in American social media, especially among some conservatives, it has become popular to ridicule and debunk any embellishments coming out of Ukraine, with no attention whatsoever to a less noticeable, creeping insertion of anti-Ukrainian tropes in the American media.”

Terrorists from Syria go to Ukraine to fight Russia: will Turkey suffer?
Excerpt:
Radical Islamic terrorists in Idlib/ Syria are among those foreigners seeking to reach Ukraine to fight the Russians. Radical Islam is a political ideology that has been called Islamo-fascist, and shares commonalities with the Nazi militias in Ukraine. Both the Nazis in Ukraine and the terrorists in Idlib are fighting the Russians. The terrorists in Idlib have devised a plan to send fighters to Ukraine, while also fighting the Russians in Idlib, thus hitting Russia on two battlefronts.
The UN envoy to Syria has said there are around 10,000 HTS terrorists in Idlib. Other terrorists are fighting under the Free Syrian Army banner. However, once President Erdogan of Turkey began sponsoring them, he changed their name to the “National Front for Liberation”. The US-NATO war on Syria for regime change used the Muslim Brotherhood partisans as boots on the ground in Syria. The terrorists were originally named Free Syrian Army but were taken over by Al Qaeda, and finally morphed into ISIS.
