Absolutely, we need to help Ukraine overcome this aggression but at the end of that, the Azov battalion and other volunteer military groups are seeking to overthrow their govt and install a dictatorship of some sort....they're not heroic underdogs. We don't want the the defence of Ukraine to be derailed by talk of a sizable minority of Nazi nutters
I'll read the article when I get chance, thanks for posting.
Neo-Nazis and the Far Right Are On the March in Ukraine
Five years after the Maidan uprising, anti-Semitism and fascist-inflected ultranationalism are rampant.www.thenation.com
This is a really good article on it mate. As ever the goodies Vs baddies narrative we're spoon fed doesn't stand up to scrutiny. It's quite concerning we're now arming these people to the teeth. Every time we meddle in other parts of the world I'm sure we just make things worse. The cynic in me thinks it all just comes down to money and the military industrial complex, someone's making a shit ton of money from all these weapons aren't they.
That's why the Azov battalion hate him, tbh I'm surprised he hasn't already done something about them......maybe the extreme right wing factions aren't quite as powerful as some in the media would have us believe?
Difficult one! I don't think there is an easy answer.
That's a horrific account. Anti-vax, pro-invasion, anti-ukraine nut job retweeting other nutjobs.
Like I said yesterday. Sometimes you think you’ve seen it all, then come across something like that that leaves you speechless.
Is the tweet true or false?
I think you're missing the context. My assumption would be that zelenskky didn't want to fight both Russia and some far-right groups so he got them onside.
. Be good to have a discussion about the merits or otherwise of what it's actually saying, rather than the person writing it. I'm not attached to it either way and would be happy for someone to point out where it's factually wrong, if it is. The question for me is why Zelenskky did it assuming he did.The tweet was embedded in an article I was reading, I was in the process of getting ready to go out so hadn't got through it all when I posted it to Tredman. I'd not scrolled through the blokes Twitter page feed before posting it.
Anyway I've got back and finished reading it now, and it seems well researched and credible to me
Corroborates what story sorry?
The whole thing you posted a link to. Both of the authors have done work for RT which makes me immediately suspicious of anything they write.
