It was a genuine question believe it or not. And “yes” would have been sufficient.

    It may be heavy handed. But it is understandable. Ukraine has bigger fash to fry. And specific actors defend the bigger fash by constantly bringing up Azov. Should Ukraine reject the aid of our fascist government, and azov’s manpower. Just letting the Russian fascists roll over them? How is this a currently useful discussion?

      Didn’t you know, critical support can only go towards Russia. They can tolerate homophobia, genocide, and nazism but draw the line at Ukrainians right to exist.

      That’s a really weird point to make, because you are skipping so many steps.

      • implies the ukraine forces are mostly fascists and, without them, they will get rolled over
      • implies also that the government is unwilling or incapable of applying rules to oppose nazi symbology in its own military
      • people are okay cheering some nazi as heroes

      these are huge problems in my opinion no?

        I barely mentioned Ukraine’s forces. Let alone said anything that could have implied that most of them were fascists. The one and problem segment I did mention, Azov, isn’t a major segment of their forces. Or representative. This is an absurd reach.

        In a war, the enemy of your enemy isn’t your friend. Just useful. The Nazi sympathizers in Ukraine are a problem as they are everywhere. But they never bombed residential blocks regularly. Killing women and kidnapping children. That’s Russia.

        You’re asking why Ukraine isn’t singularly focused on pulling out a millimeter sized sliver from their finger. When a 5 millimeter shard has pierced their thigh, and they’re bleeding out. The answer is obvious, and the question disingenuous.
