Always proof read. You blew the title badly.

You lost a word in the headline - everyone will think they captured that 275 lb general!

[max americana]

Was it this camo-clad behemoth?

Literally, a single Google search will bring up 100s of pics that says this is BS.

“The Kremlin propaganda machine had long sought to use the far-right origins of the Azov regiment as proof of its FALSE claim that the Ukrainian state has been infected with Nazism.”

“Ukraine announced the largest exchange of prisoners of war”

Sorry all! Although it would be real funny to capture and release that ‘new’ 200 stone Russian General! :D

Your title saved us from another boring thread about Ukraine. Thank you.

Title is off as I was trying to most complete info source. Russian General Pavel-Retired, 67, has been summoned from his comfortable life in the Moscow suburbs and told to don his specially-made army fatigues and go to the front lines of eastern Ukraine. Reports have also claimed that Pavel is required to wear two sets of body armor as his body is too big to be covered in one body armor!!! He will now take charge of Russian special forces operating in the region after the unit's former commander was seriously injured in an artillery strike.

LOL, so all the posters here who thought that Azov members who surrendered would be summarily executed, shipped to Siberia, or put on trial in Russia for “war crimes” turn out to be wrong.

But they’re used to being wrong by now I think.

The Western propaganda rings false on the Azov battalion. Here I see them admitting its Neo-Nazi background, but still stridently calling it false that it retains any of that heritage. Really? None at all? (I admit to being in ignorance about this battalion, so I'm just skeptically reading between the lines of the propaganda.)

It seems to me that if I discovered a unit under me had something horrible in its past - not something that happened to it, but something about its own origins and character - the right thing to do would be to disband it and create new unit(s) without a traceable connection to the former unit. By maintaining the unit it becomes harder to believe that ties were ever totally cut with the past. Seems like the higher ups are trying to play both sides, retaining the unit for the sake of neo-Nazi sympathizers while downplaying it to the rest of the world.

Oh, prisoner EXCHANGE. I thought maybe they caught a 500 lb. Russian.
