  1. There's a video of an old man in Maripol saying Azov were "super" after saving them from Russian troops.

  2. Accountable for what? Being smart? The option was disbanding the group and them going underground, or the Azov members gaining political power. They picked the third option which was outsmart Azov, make them part of the armed forces so that the political leaders have to quit. They lost the elections and the military purged the top Azov guys. They are smarter than their critics, who didn't understand the political chess.

  3. Nobody said it was a conspiracy. Conspiracy is what you said after not taking your meds. So take the meds.

  4. They don't. They replaced the symbol by three daggers or three slashes.

  5. ​ @h3w45  Triggered by the Z letter? His name is Zelensky, snowflake.

  6. ​ @baniSaqer  They were Russian speakers from Kharkiv. Metalist FC ultras.

  7. Israel actually refused to support Ukraine because they're friendly with Russia. They only supported Ukraine because Russia supports Iran and Hamas.

  8. ​ @Mcgee833  It was because Russia is friends with Iran which backs Hamas which attacked Israeli civilians in a gruesome attack.

  9. Strelkov was a FSB asset. He was working for the Russian government. The problem is that they thought Ukrainians were weak but once they pushed back Russia could not flood them with weapons and ammo without getting caught. Part of the "success" of the Donbas operation was that most of the world didn't care about the US presenting the hard evidence of Russian intervention. Had Russia actually given them the entire support they asked, the EU could have been persuaded into boosting Ukrainian capabilities.

  10. It's fitting? Mariupol is on the coastline with the Azov sea. They used to be stationed in Mariupol and are known for defending the city when Russia attacked in 2015. It's a perfectly fitting name.

  11. The baseless conspiracy isn't about the existence of the unit, but the portrayal as some kind of SS unit rather than a national guard regiment protecting Mariupol (in Russian-speaking Eastern Ukraine).

  12. Not true. He was going to sign the deal with the EU but Putin forced him to cancel the plans by sanctioning Ukrainian goods. With Ukraine's economy held hostage he was forced to blow off the EU. There could be no middle ground because once you enter EU space you can't have a porous border with Russia. That's a fantasy. It's like the Brexit and the Northern Ireland border with Ireland, the UK leaving the EU creates a situation where NI could create an uncontrolled entry point into the EU. Easing up border control for Ukrainian goods would let Russia funnel goods into the EU without getting caught if such a "middle ground" existed.

  13. Zelensky only tried to join NATO when Russia massed troops at the border. Zelensky tried everything to get Putin to stop but the demands were basically to shut down the entire army. A robber breaks into your house, and promises to leave if you remove the locks from your door. Exactly how would you trust him to simply not open your door tomorrow night?
