At first I was a bit skeptical about the 14/88 thing, admittedly it did sound like it could plausibly have been 2 random numbers of tanks(maybe it is anyways it doesn’t really matter tbh it’s still being used to defend a client state of Imperialism) but after seeing this comment, idk. This almost makes me double down as illogical as that sounds. The entire analysis is ridiculous and I almost thought it was a joke.
Yeah, the official Twitter account of the Ukrainian military posting a video of Azov soldiers dipping bullets in pig lard to shoot the “Chechen orcs” is totally not something Nazis would do
Added context: Chechnya is predominantly Muslim, in Islamic law, consumption of pork is forbidden.
Also, in the video, the person says: “Dear Muslim brothers. In our country, you will not go to heaven. You will not be allowed into heaven. Go home, please.”
Wait so Ukraine just casually and officially posted videos of them committing a war crime? Because that surely violates something in the Geneva convention
@ihaveibs @ButtigiegMineralMap Yeah, people on my side of fedi (that is, people you’d call “Nazis”) heard the dog whistles and just sort of ignored them.
I’ve heard people say that they suspect that Azov acting that way - and having that be promoted - was an effort to get edgy Nationalists to sign up to go die for NATO as a kind of “two birds with one stone” thing. It didn’t work as intended, obviously.
