    Russia, with its many faults, still fucking hates nazis.

    If that’s true, why are they in so many ways nazis themselves? Some Sun Tzu thing perhaps? “To know your enemy, you must become your enemy.”

      name one nazi battalion in russia with police authority. One. Name a single openly nazi official in the entirety of the russian parliament. Can you even properly spout your own propaganda?

        name one nazi battalion in russia with police authority.

        Why did you have to specify “with police authority”? Did you invent that specifically so that I couldn’t say “Wagner Group”?

            Wow, that’s weird. Was that politically motivated or what? I see the resolution was adapted on 2014-12-18, so some time after Russia illegally annexed Crimea from Ukraine.

                There’s gotta be a reason why countries like Germany or Sweden, or practically all of the western world abstain from voting on this.

              It’s a couple of things. It was politically motivated in the case of Ukraine’s vote (it was submitted by Russia) and the US has an intense dedication to freedom of speech that is almost unparalleled.

            If you read that article, nowhere it says it’s fictional. It’s the informal name given to a loose group of organizations. You really want to push some narrative here.

              If you read the article then it’s pretty clear that there is no such group, and nowhere does the article claim that there are any nazi groups in Russian military. All the article says that Russia has mercenary groups and black ops. Pretty much all the allegations are pure speculation without any hard evidence. Sounds like you’re the one who’s determined to push a narrative here.

          No, because the Nazi Battalions in ukraine have police authority. Thats why its been hell for ethnic russians. the Wagner group is despicable, but are not a concrete organization. It is more of a broad name about different mercs and some groups that could be hired.
