Russia/ Not Russia


And for that Sudentenland speech...(https://speakola.com/political/adolf-hitler-my-patience-is-now-at-an-end-sudetenland-1938)

Has the U.S. been training neo-Nazis in the Ukraine?  The question never gets answered, but here is the case for it: https://jacobinmag.com/2022/01/cia-neo-nazi-training-ukraine-russia-putin-biden-nato/

Despite sometimes open acknowledgement of its Nazism — its former commander once said the "historic mission" of Ukraine is to "lead the White Races of the world in a final crusade for their survival" in "a crusade against the Semite-led Untermenschen" — Azov was incorporated into the country's National Guard in 2014, owing to its effectiveness in fighting Russian separatists. ...Given all this, it would be more of a surprise that the neo-Nazis of Azov haven't been trained in the CIA's clandestine make-an-insurgency program.

And perhaps these Azov people have been turning around and training American insurgents....

A 2018 FBI affidavit asserted that Azov "is believed to have participated in training and radicalizing United States–based white supremacy organizations," including members of the white supremacist Rise Above Movement, prosecuted for planned assaults on counterprotesters at far-right events, including the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally that Joe Biden later co-opted as a rationale for his presidential campaign. While it seems the perpetrator of the Christchurch mosque massacre didn't travel to Ukraine as he claimed, he clearly took inspiration from the far-right movement there, and wore a symbol used by Azov members while carrying out the attack.

Jacobin is a socialist magazine. This means Chomsky loves it, also Bernie bros. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobin_(magazine)   These are young theorist types, who are doing a sort of Marxist revival, so who is their audience here?

Is the enemy of my enemy my friend?  In any case, it seems like a good idea if these Azov folk were occupied elsewhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Battalion The symbol on their battalion flag is called a Wolfsangel, which is actually kind of interesting. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfsangel
