&gt;just like there's Nazis in Russia and the States and in Mongolia 

Nazis in the USA don't get to have an official unit in the national guard with wehrmacht and SS symbols

Putin's 100% using them as a scapegoat and he doesn't give a shit if there are nazis in ukraine but calling the nazism situation in Ukraine "just like anywhere else" is disingenuous tbh.

There's anywhere between 700000 and 1.5 million Ukrainians who have taken up arms currently. The Azov battalion at its peak had 2500 ish men. See battalion. I think my analogy stands especially when you consider something like 20-25% of white nationalists in the US are active or reserve military.

 Honestly the best thing that could have happened to the Azovs did. They fought valiantly, killed a massive number of Russians and then were wrapped up and killed. It's Machiavellian but that's realpolitik. They did their duty twice, killed Russians and then got killed so that a) a bunch of Nazis are dead and b) the official Ukrainian Army doesn't need to worry about them doing sketchy shit anymore. The biggest shame of the whole Azovstal situation is that poor Mariupol got flattened by the Russkis. Such a beautiful city, gone. I always wanted to visit the area around it where my grandpa's grandpa left to come to Canada.
