    Are we supposed to be surprised that someone in Ukraine - a country at war, highly dependent on support from the U.S to continue to stand up to its invader - now appeals to the new hand that can either feed them or cut them off?

      He received it in 2022 and Azov really is a neo-nazi unit so it’s perfectly plausible, I say this as someone who is generally pro-Ukraine’s right to self-defense and self-determination and anti-Putin (and have been long before the war due to LGBT issues)

        I don’t doubt him being a Nazi.

        I think his Nazism is basically orthogonal to this - everyone and their grandmother who relies on the American empire for anything is kissing the ring at the moment, Nazi or not.

    But I thought Putin’s whole invasion was about removing nazis from Ukraine.

      Aha, but Azov is very powerful neo-nazi movement. They and their allies may hold no political seats, but the only way to be sure is full-scale invasion special military operation. Will only be few days weeks months years
