This is primarily a video put out by Iforces.news.

It is a different view of the Azov battalion than what has been pushed on freerepublic. It is less than four minutes.

“Good grief/ They are nazis you fool.”

Why? Because they run around with rune symbols like the wolfsangel just like a number of Russian military units do?

What do you think the “Z” symbol is? To the Russians it is not a letter because it does not occur in Cyrillic. It is a wolfsangel, which in Europe is a symbol of wolf hunters.

Notice how the official globalist narrative about the Azov Battalion has gone from "They were never, ever, Neo-Nazis and you are a Putin loving , free world hating traitor to suggest otherwise" to "well they aren't Neo-Nazis anymore because all of them have been kicked out" .

Before Ukraine Crisis

Every country has far-right groups. Its moronic to use it as an excuse for russia to invade Ukraine and rob, rape, murder, level cities, annex land and threaten genocide. Russian actions that are truly nazi-like.

Exactly, Neo Nazi’s are a Ukie problem, everyone knows it. ( except for Biden’s war cheerleaders). The corrupted little beggar Zelensky was elected to make Peace with Russia- he didn’t, he sent Azov into the Russian Donbass and started shelling the ethnic Russian provinces.

The truth is slowly emerging, Biden’s war cheerleaders have one hell of a hang over coming.

Your post is archaic, meaningless, no longer of import.

Zelensky is the President of Ukraine that defeated the Russian war criminals. That is what History will record and is all that matters

Your thoughts are beach detritus to History, just washed up trivia of no use or value

Russia: "We're fighting NAZI's"

Russian: "I get it, we're in a fight with NAZI's. Who are we fighting against?"

Zelensky was installed by Obama/Biden. Your support for him is support of Obama/Biden.
