They are the guys who get the job done. Their military successes and the warm welcomes they receive from the people they liberate

from the horrors of Russian occupation, says it all.

Russians besmirch their reputations and call them, โ€œNazisโ€ because they lose in battle to them. Jealousy runs to propaganda, and too many โ€œuseful idiotsโ€buy into the whole scenario. DUH.

Even at the level of their cartoons, Russians are inculturated from childhood The Nazis were/are the bad guys. By transferring that hatred to the Azov Battalion or the Georgian Legion, they create a default enemy image guaranteed to activate the will to be thrown into the meat-grinder of battle and to endure poor Russian tactics, logistics, weaponry, food, command loyalty, et al. Oh well. Russians kill their wounded or leave them to die or send wounded men back.into battle or shoot them themselves if they try to retreatโ€” no, the same as at Stalingrad.

Slava Ukraini!
