That's the verified account of the National Guard of Ukraine btw.
Edit for context: Kadyrov is the Head of Chechnya, a majority Muslim republic of Russia. Chechen troops are arriving in Ukraine as part of the war.
Azov - a neo-Nazi Battalion within the National Guard of Ukraine - are greasing their bullets with lard out of the idiotic Islamophobic idea that Muslims believe getting shot by one will send them to hell (which is definitely not at all how haram rules work).
For bonus racism, the author of this tweet is calling said Muslim Chechens "orcs".
But Westerners say Ukraine doesn't have Nazis. But then this was so bad that even Twitter can't deny it.
Edit 2: Can't believe I forgot to link the tweet: https://twitter.com/ng_ukraine/status/1497924614865002497
Twitter removed the comments since nearly all of them were calling the Nazis out. The post is still visible.
I think that's a policy not specific to this tweet. Any tweet with that tag seems to have the ability to comment removed and the existing comments hidden in a way they can't be found. But at the same time, you can still quote tweet it.
Pretty bad policy IMO, they should at least leave the existing comments.
The dumbest part is their rational:
We try to prevent a Tweet like this that otherwise breaks the Twitter Rules from reaching more people, so we have disabled most of the ways to engage with it. If you want to talk about it, you can still Quote Tweet.
Except quote tweets reach much more people than replies. A quote tweet reaches every follower of whoever is quote tweeting, a reply doesn't.
Although from a technical standpoint a quote tweet is just a normal tweet that includes a link to the tweet being quoted so it's hard to disallow quote tweets.
Not 👏 every 👏 Ukrainian 👏 soldier, says the entirety of Western media.
Nazi in charge of the Ukrainian National Guard's Twitter account:
Wow, that’s very bad. Are you saying Putin’s denazification rationale for invading Ukraine is legitimate?
It's... complicated.
The need to denazify is definitely there, but it's arguable as to whether Putin actually cares or if he's just using that as an excuse.
But overall, this tweet has cemented me on the side of "Ukraine needs to lose".
I personally don’t believe he truly cares, otherwise I would assume he’d first try a number of steps falling well short of “massive invasion resulting in the likely deaths of thousands of civilians”.
I’d hesitate to be cemented on the side of Putin in this conflict before learning what his objectives truly are, which none of us can know at this point yet. While the Azov battalion is almost comically evil they aren’t the ones who have escalated this conflict to the levels Putin has. Granted if they had the capability to they probably would have but I don’t trust for a second that Putin would give a shit about them being Nazis if they weren’t anti-Russian Nazis first and foremost.
