"we just want them back to secure a future for ourselves and our children"
"The Nazis are only a small part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces"
/proceeds to do endless articles on Azov
Why is the western media so focused on putting Azov in front of the camera? Are we getting some kind of confirmation bias where we ignore other stories?
Could be NATO putting a big "Nazis welcome here" signal to encourage nazis to come there to get training and create some kind of global network of terrorist cells.
It could be them doing damage control for all the anti-Azov articles they were doing before, so they can defend Ukraine. This seems to be working because people are believing it.
Could be because journalists sympathize with oppressors in almost every conflict nowadays.
Azov are the vanguard of Ukraine military propaganda. There are other reasons, but don't discount the power of simply being the main group putting in an active propaganda effort with the full backing of the state. While Right Sector sits in bunkers, Azov runs training programs for children and pulls stunts like these.
A conspiracy reading would be that Nato benefits from continuation of war and those are the people who are committed to not taking any peace deals, even when Zelenskyy seems to be getting cold feet.
If you hide it, people might find out about it, and then there's no mainstream narrative ready to tell them what to think. But if you put it right up front and say "they're not really Nazis," people belive that because it's the mainstream narrative.
I wonder how we could predict and pre-empt the next attempt at glowing up another of history’s greatest monsters? Nobody in America was thinking of Azhov, so MSM got to define the narrative.
it should also be noted that they aren't trying very hard by for example trying to get their husbands to surrender
Despite Russia apparently bending over backwards to give them an out. Remember when Russia was going to flood the plant? Or when Russia was going to use nerve gas?
It's a shame they didn't flood it. The thought of wet Nazis being forced to go outside and surrender is hilarious.
no because they've got the civilian population in there with them as human shields
They'd be trialed for war crimes, possibly executed. I guess that explains the pointless resistance. Of course the death of hundreds of their soldiers is the price they are willing to pay.
Russia has death penalty, there's just a moratorium on it. Politicians were floating starting executions again ever since we've been kicked from European Human Rights Court in February.
How do those trials work though? How are you supposed to try enemy combatants for war crimes committed on territory you don't claim jurisdiction over?
The citizens of Mariupol were terrorized by nazis for years and lots of survivors will gladly testify, legal details I don't know - the territory will become independent entity in some kind of union/federation with Russia and maybe Belarus+some other countries, thus I believe it's laws are yet to be written or adopted formally!?
As I said I don't really know law, but they won't just let nazis go away, Russians are very serious with that matter.
I assume Ukraine has jodies, therefore critical support to those ukrainian jodies
"jody", the guy back home sleeping with deployed soldiers' wives/girlfriends
Awh are their fascist husbands starving to death in a pit eating rats because they refuse to come out and face justice? That’s so sad for them
Have fun never finding your husband's corpse cuss it got atomized by a bunker buster
Definitely, honestly been amazed at how the media has suppressed that kind of info as well as similar events of Azov shooting fleeing civilians.
Only the sweet embrace of death can free the Nazis hiding in the basement under Azovstal now. It's either that or facing responsibility for their crimes in Russian courts.
Those are their only options.
the sweet embrace of death
facing responsibility for their crimes in Russian courts
:same-picture:
Nah, in Russia they would get only 10-20 years of prison. In Donbass republics, on the other hand, they would get :pit: . Luckily, there are a lot of mineshaft there.
As a certified woman appreciator, someone please give me the contact details of any Azov wives whose husbands are for-sure going to die.
:volcel-judge: HALT, DO NOT APPROACH THE AZOV WIVES :volcel-judge:
