A Ukrainian Neo-Nazi soldier visited the Auschwitz death camp wearing a shirt quoting Hitler in order to mock the camp's victims. This is the type of truly fascist scum that billions and billions of US taxpayer dollars are going to fund and arm.

Many died and then more nazis joined, and the ones who were captured are now leading the unit
And they're all commanded by ideological nazis and banderites leading cohorts of other convinced nazis or demoralized conscripts who don't want to be there regardless
And then the years 2015, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23 came and went, the concept of time I know it's wild, now Azov has thousands of fighters and premier government approved status and is simply one of dozens of openly neo-nazi units operating within the Ukrainian military

Your entire argument is based on delusional magical thinking, it's the equivalent of asserting the Wehrmacht of the Third Reich weren't nazis because the SS was a separate institution and the majority of the German army conscripts weren't SS or party members, it's a derivative of the clean Wehrmacht myth except in this case applied to the Ukrainian army whose official policy is to actively celebrate nazis like Bandera and elevated neo-nazi militias in its own institution, also misses the point that these are considered elite bodies with strict recruitment policies, not football clubs any dipshit banderist can join, that's what the other dozens of brigades and incorporated nazi units are for
Just take how delusional this sentence is, any institution that allows nazis to openly organize and preach is by definition a nazi organization, doesn't matter if the leadership and the hardcore members are outnumbered by conscripts, conscripts who judging by internal Ukrainian polls are open and susceptible to Banderist nazi ideology, which is why the literal fuckin majority of western photography shows a cavalcade of soldiers proudly displaying nazi paraphernalia
Yeah the difference is now the nazis are given institutional approval and funding, lmao how the fuck are you missing that obvious development, if the federal government found some random neo-nazi militia and gave them federal approval, funding, and arms, that wouldn't be a good you delusional nazi apologist
There wouldn't be a reduction of their "identity" it's would instead be elevated and given prestigious institutional status from which they can use to recruit and spread, which surprise is what has been happening, to the point we now got a nazi comfortable enough to go to Auschwitz and mock the victims of the Holocaust without any media backlash IN NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES, what do you think is going in Ukraine proper

Ok denying Banderism is a nazi ideology just makes you a nazi yourself, can't say I'm surprised

What are the reasons they consider him a "national hero" what did he do while he was alive, what did he advocate for?
Are you claiming the Banderist movement did not collaborate with the Nazi regime that occupied Ukraine? This is your last and final chance to start engaging on this topic with some honesty and rigor before I press the report button on your nazi ass
Excellent posting.
Bandera led the OUN-B. The OUN-B collaborated and essentially became an arm of the Nazi party in Ukraine on the eve of the invasion, and attacked in the rear of the Red Army. This is all info available on Wikipedia. Don't even have to open a book.
Their actions, both sanctioned and unsanctioned by the Nazis, were ones of antisemitism, Ukrainian ethnic superiority, anticommunism, and assisted in the German exterminations in eastern Europe. Not in common with Nazi ideology is that their targets didn't include themselves as Slavs (obviously).
As far as I'm concerned this is a distinction without difference.
