      It's certainly possible that the Buffalo terrorist is aware that Ukrainian fascist Azov regiment uses the Nazi "black sun." But more likely source is the manifesto of the man he names as inspiration, the Christchurch terrorist, who closes *his* manifesto with it.

      Or both could be true--which means nothing more than fascists copy other fascists, which we already knew. What anti-Ukrainians on the right & the fake left don't get is that Azov & Russia can *both* be bad at the same time! Also, Azov doesn't equal Ukraine.

      The Azov Battalion of 2022 is not the Azov Battalion of 2014. It started as a group of fascist soccer hooligans and it has now been rolled into the Ukrainian national guard. I’m sure some of the old fascists are still there, but it’s not a fascist force like it was.

      What's the basis for thinking that there's been a massive abandonment of fascism by the Azov Battalion in a mear 7 years? Particularly since the members of the group seem to use all the symbols that are common to fascists (symbols used in Russia and USA as well).

      I see it as a moot point. If it’s at all fascist it’s too fascist for me—but the ideas that Ukraine is fascist or that the US shouldn’t support Ukraine certainly don’t follow.

      Exactly so, even a few fascist in the military is problem (as USA should know all too well from McVeigh etc.).

          Saw recent video by E Euro think tank that had been suspicious of Azov. It explained the original Azov had splintered - old leader left. Further housecleaning when they were shifted under UAF authority. Said still has strong esprit de corps, but nationalist rather than neo-nazi.
