Side question: I wonder if any Yankee neo-Nazis volunteered with Azov only to come home to their CHUD families and got disowned put Zelensky is a judeo-trans-Marxist or whatever the fuck FOX told them.
A good portion of the neo-Nazis in America with paramilitary experience went to fight for Ukraine in the 2014-2015 Ukrainian civil war alongside the Azovs against Donbass separatists backed by Russia. It is unthinkable that the Nazis will somehow defect and turn around and fight against their own.
Also, you just reminded me of something unrelated but incredibly funny.
Remember when Ian from Forgotten Weapons (youtube gun channel) was promoting a new book from a Swedish fascist about his experience fighting with the Azovs? He was eventually bullied and backed down from publishing the book. That was 3 weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine.
Imagine if he had just waited for another 3 weeks - that book would probably have become a bestseller with liberals hailing the Swedish Azov fighter as the great anti-Russian hero of our time.
That's also around the same time that the bromancd between Karl (In range) and Ian (FW) ended. I think Karl interviewed TactiCool Girlfriend and also did a bunch of history about African Americans taking up arms during the Civil War / Reconstruction / Civil Rights era.
I was surprised that we (non chuds) got Karl in the Divorce. I don't think he's a leftist but he's at least reachable.
Ian went on to do some stuff with Larry Vickers, who is now in trouble with the ATF for NFA violations around possession of machine guns ( it would take a bit to explain)
Close to zero would defect.
You're a soldier, you follow orders, its not for you to think about anything outside of that.
Same reason there will not be a chud led civil war in the near future, people are far too comfy for that level of radicalism outside of isolated stochastic terrorism. The material conditions aren't right. Even on the battlefield a US troop will have much nicer conditions than what the Russian military can provide
do you think any/many would defect cuz Tucker told them Putin is anti-Woke
like 3 at a stretch. troops that defect & desert are usually ones growing a conscience, not feeling an ideological affinity for the enemy. if that was a thing, evangelical freaks would've heard about the Taliban kicking girls out of school and switched sides
It's really mostly grunts that are foaming MAGA chuds. Not saying their aren't fascist at every rank but the higher ups are educated enough not to take anything fox says seriously. No officer is going to lose their carrier and freedom (disobeying a direct order like that will land you in the brig for life) because some moron mouth breather spouted bull shit.
Probably could count em on one hand. You're more likely to just have people willingly surrender when they're getting overrun or surrounded than you'd see them run across the no man's land between frontlines praying they don't eat a bullet from either side.
Most likely you'll see people trying to play the Conscientious objector card, quit, or outright desert to get out of the war. But at the point we see that there's gonna be plenty of bloodthirsty people trying to sign up to take their place.
