The front isn't solid like shown in the maps and the force density seems fairly low in the south. The main show seems to be further north at Popasnaya where the Russians are building up to try to cut off the salient and in the Sumy area where the Russians are trying to completely cut off the city and I'm assuming the Ukrainians will try to relieve it at some point. |

Does Azov have Jewish members? It's basically an argument of "Are they Nazis, or are they Ultra-nationalists promoting Ukraine." View Quote So...this is my understanding of current status of "Azov". It's now a regular (though considered somewhat 'select' due to it's history ) unit of National Guard of Ukraine. Vast majority of soldiers in it get there through the same process as any other NGU soldiers. Any 'neo-nazis' are left over from it's original volunteer incarnation and are a small minority. If anybody has other information, I am ready to be corrected but this is what I think is currently going on. |

Alexi Joneskov just published another bullshit article on his webpage about Ukrainians in WW2. My Ukrainian family including my mother had their home and business taken away from the Nazis. My mother (in her 80s) still remembers when Nazis came to her home and questioned my grandmother as to where my great uncle Michael was (he joined the Ukrainian partisans in the Carpathian mountains WHO WERE KILLING NAZIS). That day, my mother heard all of the women and children crying in her village because the Nazis were executing all of the men. My grandparents even hid their Jewish neighbors in a root cellar- had they been caught, they would have been executed. My mother and grandparents wound up in a German prison camp. Over 2,000,000 Ukrianians were killed directly by German forces in WW2. In 1932-33, Stalin mass murdered between 7 - 12 million Ukrainians in the largest genocide by famine. The Ukrainian Insurgent Army fought both the Nazis and the Russian Communists and the fight against communists continued into the 1950s. As far as this other bullshit you and the others keep harping on: I once remember a guy set up at a 500 table gun show in Ohio who was selling Nazi WW2 paraphernalia BUT not just for collecting but for promoting, he was also a skinhead type. The news went right to him for an interview, Guess what was on the news? "Gun shows are meeting centers for Aryan Nations and other Neo-Nazi groups". THE GOVERNMENT OF UKRAINE SUPPORTS AZOV BATTALION! The Jewish president of Ukraine supports Azov Battalion (100% integrated into the Ukrainian military). Kyiv Mayor Klitchko supports Azov (1/2 or 1/4 Jewish, I forget).Ukraine is the ONLY country outside of Israel to have a Jewish president AND a Jewish Prime Minister serving AT THE SAME TIME. There are Jewish leaders in AZOV BATTALION.

View Quote Zelensky banned 11 parties. 10 of those parties do not currently have any representative in Verhovnaya Rada (Ukrainian parliament). The one that does holds 39 seats (out of 450). That leaves 101 seats for unbanned opposition parties. Under the circumstances, I see no reason to cast him as second Hitler/Stalin/Mao. |

A military convoy was spotted carrying up to six nuclear warheads headed along the motorway through Glasgow to an arms depot on Friday. The convoy was seen only a mile south of Glasgow city centre, heading to Royal Naval Armaments Depot Coulport on Loch Long, according to NukeWatch, an organisation that tracks and monitors the convoys that transport the UK's Trident nuclear warheads. The weapons of mass destruction were a 'reminder of the UK's contribution to nuclear terror,' the group said, amid heighting tensions between NATO and Russia - which recently put its own nuclear weapons on high alert.
