A note about the 'Azov Regiment' [View all] speak easy Apr 2022 OP
Ever heard of Werner von Braun? tirebiter Apr 2022 #1
Indeed. speak easy Apr 2022 #2
They Will Die There, Sir The Magistrate Apr 2022 #3
That's a bit overstated, and it's not like Ukraine can be picky about who defends them in Mariupol. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #4

Long, long before the Russian invasion, I was a large documentarian of neo nazi Celerity Apr 2022 #23
Wrong. National Idea, in Ukrainian, using Latin letters, is NI. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #29
In a letter signed by 40 US House Democrats and addressed to the Secretary of State Mike Celerity Apr 2022 #38
This was from 2019. The Azov REGIMENT in Mariupol does not "openly welcome neo-Nazis" SunSeeker Apr 2022 #39
it's the same group, it didn't magically change in the last 2 or so years, that is preposterous Celerity Apr 2022 #45
No, it is not the same group. The people of Mariupol are in the Azov Regiment. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #47
repeating the same rebutted statements and ad hominem attacks via false framing is a sure sign you Celerity Apr 2022 #48
You haven't rebutted a damn thing. Those civilians are now in the Regiment, as shown in that pic. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #49
the totality of our colloquy paints a far different picture from your claim: Celerity Apr 2022 #50
Do you think Post 20's picture with the NATO & NAZI flags is not Putin propaganda? SunSeeker Apr 2022 #58
You are applying ex post facto framing. Also, you cannot even keep your Ukrainian cities straight. Celerity Apr 2022 #64
So you're fine with that picture in post 20? So noted. nt SunSeeker Apr 2022 #65
Non sequitur, plus you are apparently fine with using the wrong city to push a false claim, plus Celerity Apr 2022 #67
Here is a good start for your scorecard. SmallFry Apr 2022 #68
I have made no "false claims." Here's pictures from Mariupol. All you had to do was ask. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #70
Ever heard of the Wagner Group? Crunchy Frog Apr 2022 #6
I haven't posted a word of criticism. speak easy Apr 2022 #7
They are literal neo-nazis. Socal31 Apr 2022 #8
Do you think they're worse than the Wagner Group? Crunchy Frog Apr 2022 #9
I heard an interesting BBC Inquiry into the Wagner Group. speak easy Apr 2022 #12
Kind of like the Waffen SS was the arm of the SS in Nazi Germany mitch96 Apr 2022 #19
Their founder was a Neo-Nazi speak easy Apr 2022 #10
My understanding they were founded as such, but are more generic RW militia now Amishman Apr 2022 #22
No, they're not. They deny they are neo-Nazis. That is why Twitter allows praising them. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #33
You're wrong. Socal31 May 2022 #73
You're wrong. "The flag" of the Azov Regiment of the Ukraine National Guard is the Ukrainian flag. SunSeeker May 2022 #74
The Ukrainian Marines and volunteer fighters made a mistake when joining with them recently. Xolodno Apr 2022 #11
Russia isn't going to take Kharkiv easily. speak easy Apr 2022 #13
Yes, which the Soviet Union built. Xolodno Apr 2022 #14
By some accounts the Russians were not expecting much resistance in Kharkiv speak easy Apr 2022 #15
Ты откуда? Igel Apr 2022 #55
I've read different things. I do know they are fighting to defend Tomconroy Apr 2022 #16
I wrote this OP to say most of the Regiment is trapped in Mariupol, speak easy Apr 2022 #17
Many of the Azov have proclaimed they are Nazi. mitch96 Apr 2022 #20
An Auschwitz tattoo. Is this real? speak easy Apr 2022 #21
Why post those random, undated Putin propaganda pictures here? SunSeeker Apr 2022 #30
This message was self-deleted by its author mitch96 Apr 2022 #35
They're literally Nazi's AntivaxHunters Apr 2022 #24
cf Ivan Gomza 'A short history of Azov and Ukrainian fascism' speak easy Apr 2022 #25
No, the Azov Regiment in Mariupol is not "actual Nazis." That is Russian propaganda. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #31
Sorry but no AntivaxHunters Apr 2022 #36
You are citing years-old comments. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #41
Read the article you posted AntivaxHunters Apr 2022 #51
Your own source calls them Nazis. Why cite Russian propaganda? Lancero Apr 2022 #37
No it doesn't. The neo-Nazis split off to become an (unsuccessful) political group. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #40
Except that most of the incidents the article cites happened AFTER he left. Lancero Apr 2022 #42
Their commander in chief is now a Jew. You think that makes no difference? SunSeeker Apr 2022 #43
No, you're just posting a article calling the Azov Regiment a neo-nazi group. Lancero Apr 2022 #44
Bullshit. As the article points out, the Regiment now includes the citizens of Mariupol. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #46
Those are CIVILIANS AntivaxHunters Apr 2022 #52
They are former civilians who are now part of the Azov Regiment in Mariupol. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #56
It's very disgusting that some people keep repeatedly posting articles... Lancero Apr 2022 #57
It's very disgusting that people claim the Azov Regiment in Mariupol are Nazis. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #59
I'm not the one posting articles calling the Azov Batallion Nazi's. Lancero Apr 2022 #60
Of course I don't think they're Nazis. Why don't you answer my question? SunSeeker Apr 2022 #61
Still waiting on a answer to the question I posted in 37. Lancero Apr 2022 #62
Got it, you want to play word games. Not interested. nt SunSeeker Apr 2022 #63
Miinor detail: Richard Wagner, not Robert. But thanks for Ilsa Apr 2022 #66
Thanks, I fixed the typo. nt SunSeeker Apr 2022 #69
Here's an interesting article. Crunchy Frog Apr 2022 #26
I wish I had never posted the OP. speak easy Apr 2022 #27
This was more for the benefit of some of the other posters on here. Crunchy Frog Apr 2022 #28
Yes, unfortunately it summoned the posting of some pretty vile Putin propaganda pics/posters. nt SunSeeker Apr 2022 #32
This message was self-deleted by its author mitch96 Apr 2022 #34
Even the ADL disagrees with you AntivaxHunters Apr 2022 #53
Bull. Again, that is referring to the Azov Batallion. Not the Azov Regiment in Mariupol NOW. SunSeeker Apr 2022 #54
They are Nazis. Many with swastika tattoos. David__77 Apr 2022 #71
cf Ivan Gomza 'A short history of Azov and Ukrainian fascism' speak easy Apr 2022 #72
