That seems to be a matter of contention. One Jew says they are anti-semites, another says the guys he knew were not - they just have nazi tattoos. I believe them both.

Is a Nazi battalion ordinary? If not, by definition it is extraordinary.

I'm going to have to agree with the Jewish leader of Right Sector, that Azov are not people we want to be involved with.

If anything has changed since he denounced them as anti-Semites, a source for it has not been provided. The article posted earlier by Theodoric only indicates that they changed their political party name. Unfortunately, this makes me wonder if he even read his own link.

I can't help a person that is looking for reasons to believe Ukraine is full of Nazis. You're simply ignoring the reality, which is that the Azov battalion was led by neo-Nazis, neo-Nazis do exist in Ukraine and everywhere else, and they did form a paramilitary group in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014 and the Russian setup of Donbas, and those neo-Nazis did fight the Russians. What is also true is that Ukraine sucked Azov into their National Guard and the leadership left the battalion to form a political party.

"But, while the ideologically inimical nature of Azov's roots is indisputable, it is likewise certain that Azov attempted to de-politicize itself; the toxic far-right leadership formally left the regiment and founded what would become a far-right party called "National Corps." The party formed an electoral bloc with the other Ukrainian far-right parties for the 2019 parliamentary elections, but even a united far-right front obtained only a miserable 2.15 percent of the vote and thus failed to secure a single seat in the Ukrainian parliament."  Link

When you have a nazi battalion, you need to take some actions. I don't think those are for Putin to handle, but I do think the US, who sends billions of dollars to UA, should have worked on the problem. It would sure make it easy to refute Putin's assertions with something like "UA disbanded their nazi unit, so they were already in the process of denazification".

The idea of addressing a potential enemy's concerns before hostilities kick off is called diplomacy. If we all agree that nazis shouldn't be running battalions, it should be an easy bargaining chip.  

It's unfortunate that you feel the need to call me stupid instead of having a discussion.

It's called stupid because it has no basis in reality. As I've said before, there are some people, usually provincial in thought Americans, probably due to Hollywood movies, etc. who think that Nazis are OMNIPRESENT and are the greatest threat to humanity, by far the world has ever seen. People like this know nothing of the totality of European experiences in the Second World War, if I can be blunt. If you want understand other experiences, talk to E. Europeans who lived through WWII; I guarantee they don't imbibe the Allied propaganda of the "Good War."

I notice the people who are infatuated (like elementary school kids) with the omnipresence of these evil Nazis never comment on the continual celebration of the Soviet Union and its ideology and works in present day Russia, and with ongoing rehabilitation of all Soviet Criminals against Humanity such as Lenin and Stalin. It's odd that these shallow people, who continually bring up utterly fringe Nazi connections in Ukraine, will think that is it absolutely acceptable for Russia to judge in any WAY, SHAPE, or FORM the country of Ukraine. Remember this is the Russia which is just the geopolitical successor to the Soviet Union, which continually and progressively rehabilitates all of their Soviet Criminals and has never undergone an utter and final repudiation of this criminal Soviet past in the manner in which post 1945 Germany underwent Vergangenheitsbewältigung.

Yes, it's utterly stupid to think that Russia, which still embraces the historical disease and poison of the Soviet Union, has any justification whatsoever to even contemplate judging any country in their near abroad before they address and confront their own Soviet crimes, which we know are enormous.

There's no micro antiship munition for the TB2. An AT round won't be able to get below the waterline, and a 2cm penetrator hole in the deck or side will not sink a Russian warship.

Strikes to bridge or deck-mounted missiles might put one out of action, though.

The fact that one of his biggest opponents was chastising Zelensky for not moving more quickly to join NATO... Is a putin fanboy?

Now Zelensky wants nothing to do with NATO... Go figure.

3)Carries its own infantry squad for screening/recon/additional firepower.

I’ll speculate that the “tank of tomorrow” looks like a big APC, with modest armor and a medium-caliber (40-57mm) main gun which is actually triple-purpose.  It’s the classic “main gun”, and also the active protection system, and also the anti-aircraft/anti-drone system.  Mount it in a highly agile unmanned turret and back it up with a small VLS of missiles for longer-ranged SAM use or non-line-of-sight use.  The physical armor is moderate to stop fragments of weapons that the active system disrupts.

Like the Trophy system? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trophy_

I could foresee something much lighter, smaller, faster, like a modern side-by-side ATV, with a roof rack to haul weapons and gear. Maybe a LMG for the guy riding shotgun. Something that can navigate anywhere a 4wheeler can, scavenging any kind of fuel, and setup for range.  Just a fireteam that can hit 90mph through a field, or go down a creek bed and up through the woods.

Isn't there another thread for this discussion?  This thread is about good Russians and combat updates.  Most of us couldn't give a single shit about Ukrainian Nazis and their Jewish politicians.

The Ukrainian war for existence does not equal US politics and it is a mistake to conflate the two.

Frankly, the fact that so many here can only view world events by clumsily connecting it to US politics is becoming increasingly annoying.

Well, a couple times. But it's not that much of a thing, really. It is what it is.


It's not as if I think I'm going to actually succeed at disassociating a swastika from the National Socialist paradigm in the public perception at large, that's not a done bun that can be be made undone; it's fixed in stone forevermore.

All are eastern slavic languages with their own but similar alphabets. Ukrainian vs Russian is akin to Spanish vs Portuguese. I'm Ukrainian but can understand a shedload of most slavic languages to a degree. Russian and Belarusian are the easiest for me as I can speak both fluently on top of Ukrainian. The rest I can pickup probably every 2nd word.
