They did the same thing with the Azov brigade.

You are allowed to support radical neo-Nazis, but only in the context of the Ukraine-Russia war.

Besides command and control vehicles engineering assets should be high on the target value list as well. Russia has always run very lean on engineering vehicles and they are critical to mission capability in hostile AOs.


Seems like the engineering assets would be ripe for capture once you hit the control vehicles and tanks.

So the Ukrainian army is almost 200k and Azov is what, less than a thousand?

The Russians are mounting cages on top of their tanks to defeat diving missiles like the javelin. They don't seem to work too well.

Largely irrelevant to the concept of what they represent.

The brigade is a state sanctioned entity that is part of the Ukrainian military now (it previously wasn’t), and they aren’t exactly shy about their views.



Hell, Amazon was allowing them to sell their merch through their website.

Every once in a while, when whipped into a frenzy, we should stop and take a step back and think about our actions.

Consider who we give weapons and money to.



This isn’t a situation where we can be discerning, but are you ok funding and arming that group?

We tend to have an issue with arming and funding radical groups that then turn around and either screw us or screw other innocent groups.

Iran, ISIS, Al Qaeda, the list goes on.

So I imagine if the Azov folks dissolve altogether and no longer "represent" Ukraine, Putin will declare Ukraine "de-nazified" and leave, right?

Considering that isn’t why he is there, despite the rhetoric…no.

Our friends in the CIA will be telling us in a few years how vital it is that we send forces into Ukraine to take them out.

I have no problem at all with the support we’re giving to Ukraine. I think you’re inflating the importance of Azov for (reasons?).

I think he's trying to say that for the last 5 years we've been hearing about how neo-nazis and white supremacists are the largest threat to democracy but now we're handing them as many weapons as we get them.

Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where a comet is going to hit earth and only Flanders has a shelter, so he lets everyone into his, its overcrowded, and they have to kick someone out...so they kick out Flanders.
