decades of war on terror propaganda has compressed the average American's brain into a pate-like paste
What's this? Tavor rifles? From Israel? Gosh, it's almost as if Israel supports them. Oh wait they do. Tavor rifles are produced under license from Israel Weapon Industries and as such were manufactured and exported authorized by Israeli government bodies.
Well that's probably a Trump conspiracy theory, so let's consult The Atlantic Council, a hardcore NATO organization: Why [Ukrainian Nazis] should not be designated a foreign terrorist organization.
The post admitted that it is “indisputable” that Azov’s ideology is rooted in Nazism, and the “leading core of” it “was formed by the far right.” But Shekhovtsov argued that Azov must not be designated a terrorist organization because it is a special operations detachment of the Ukrainian National Guard, and therefore “an integral part of official structures” of the state, following “orders given by the Interior Ministry.”
Labeling this Ukrainian government-sponsored Nazi group a terrorist organization would be a “gift to the Kremlin,” Shekhovtsov insisted.
NATO thought so poorly of these Nazis that they embedded a journalist in their violent fascist group for a sympathetic inside look. The “Battle For Mariupol” report makes absolutely no mention of their fascist ideology.
