13. If my govt unleashed the Azov battalion on my town, damn straight I'd fight back

The Azov fly the flag of Hitler's SS, the wolf symbol.

I would never, ever, agree to be part of that country again.

DUers can type all kinds of eloquent posts saying that Ukraine's govt is just a bit fascist, but they are probably not going to convince the people of eastern Ukraine.

I don't want my government arming fascist brigades anywhere.

ETA a quote from another Guardian article:

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/08/donetsk-pro-russia-rebels-ukrainian-junta

In Donetsk, there was anger and resolution among the 1,500-strong crowd who had gathered at the rally.

"We loved Ukraine until they started bombing us, now we can never go back there," said Zinaida, a 58-year-old local. "They are fascists and they have your support. We read that you have Scotland wanting to secede there. Why don't you send your tanks there and destroy them instead of sending them here? We will be part of Russia now and will never go back to those fascists."
