yo that reminds me, yesterday Al Jazeera did a piece on older Ukrainians who are signing up to the military to help with the war. They interviewed an older bloke at a military recruitment centre, and after that interviewed one of the soldiers at the centre who was STANDING IN FRONT OF A GIANT FUCK-OFF AZOV BATTALION BANNER AND NOBODY MENTIONED IT. Not a single word. Normally photos/video of Ukranian soldiers is like Where's Waldo for Nazi symbols but this one was on extra easy mode.
I was expecting the journalist to say something like "Hey what a cool banner you're standing in front of what does it mean?" but no. Crickets. I wish I had grabbed a screen capture because I couldn't believe my eyes, and I spend like half an hour last night looking for the video but it wasn't anywhere on Al Jazeera's website or youtube page.
