I agree with Jon Harper's take. Asshole leftists here in the US imagine Ukraine as a bigger version of California, a liberal suburb being overrun by Trump voters.
Never mind the reality of the Azov Battalion or the history of Russian-Ukrainian relations.
Every damn thing must conform to their cramped little outlook. Michael Malice is absolutely right about NPC Americans--every nation in the world is judged according to the privileged leftist American orientation. Their globalist utopia looks like Palo Alto.
Brigade (3 battalions and other subunits).
One reinforced (with a heavy weapons company and an airflift of volunteers by helicopters into the siege) battalion was lost in Mariupol, but I think they recreate it now if they didn't already.
English Wikipedia is always ever one step back. When it was a regiment since late 2014 to earlier this year they called it a battalion, now that is a brigade they call it a regiment.
They also still call the Islamic State ISIS and "ISIL", with 8 years of, well, retardation.
Well, that's useful information, thanks. What's your take on the whole Azov/Ukrainian "Nazi" angle? Ukrainian culture in general is not exactly welcoming to foreign influence or wokeism, which is why I find the lockstep, knee-jerk cheerleading for Ukraine sort of puzzling.
They have "street" following (hooligan clubs) and friends in high places, but didn't have popular support (with 0 deputies in the parliament between their 2 rival circles, Banderovite Right Sector and "Social National" Azov movement). Buy may have now, especially Azov as the "300" of Mariupol (ironically with the DNR unit Sparta among their enemies). RS once tried a very half assed coup of sorts. Azov guys run a NSBM restival but their music videos from Mariupol were set to a neofolkish synth of sort, and now they have a more socially acceptable logo too.
