Azov militants confessed to the killings of civilians in Mariupol
Diret Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] The militants of the nationalist Azov Regiment (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) confessed to the repeated killings of civilians in Mariupol.

Renat Aliev, one of the captured members of the unit, said he killed four civilians with a Dragunov sniper rifle in early April. According to him, this happened unintentionally, during the battle.

Sergeant "Azov" Mikhail Shvets admitted that he shot a civilian during a shootout with the Russian military.

“I didn’t see that it was a civilian, I just shot at him on a reflex ... I admitted everything at the investigative committee,” he told RIA Novosti. According to him, another nationalist shot a pensioner in the shop.

Earlier it was reported that the commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine threatened to shoot militants from the Azov regiment (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) for trying to surrender during the battles for Mariupol.

#1 Why are we supporting these fucking Nazis?

We should be hunting them down and killing them

#2 These people are fucking insane. Read through this thread about Ukrainian info wars idiots — they’re crazier than Alex Jones.

Why are we entangled in their batshit crazy street fights?

Who voted for this? When was it debated? How soon can we disentangle ourselves from this tar baby?

#4 'We', 'debated', 'voted'... You are assuming this administration is legitimate and works for America.

All those cheering Ukraine and the Globalist clown bastard flunkey are actually cheering the ones who they hate, the ones out to get them and their kids in the end. This has been the story of the Right wing for a long, unhealthy amount of time. Not knowing who the real enemy is. The red scare is so deeply ingrained in everyone, and fed anti-Russian tropes by Hollywood and popular humour, all America now looks eastward for sources if communism. While being successfully subjected to it by their own administrations everyday. Trillions are poured into 'protecting democracy' while democracy is denied Erica itself.

People look at the 'boo hoo hoo they killed my baby who I was walking in a pram in the middle of a motherfucking WAR!' news, and gnash their teeth at ye Olde enemy. And end up cheering for Zelensky.

Watch this thread too populated by comments saying I'm a Russian sympathizer, Putin is eee-vil, and Woohoo! for the Biden and other leftist regimes all deciding correctly in supporting Ukraine.

Somewhere, the Sōros family smiles.

#6 Dron66046, there is also the hatred of the Far Left towards Russia. Think of all the people like Sen. Bernie *spit* Sanders that wax nostalgic about the Soviet Union. Putin betrayed their Socialist Dreams! So we have a shared mania of Russophobia between Far Left and Far Right.

#7 I agree, magpie. Of course the Left is something we cannot expect sanity from. We can only reproach our own house.

I preferred DJTs treatment of Russia. It was firm, respectful and no-nonsense. The thing in Syria too wasn't dialled down to any significant level, but even so he was building a live-and-let-live rapport. True balance of power.

But then DJT was not real GOP. He was just 100% sane.

#8 Dron,

Yeah, it’s bizarre. We should be cheering on the killers of the Ukrainian Nazis.

Or at a minimum supporting Trump’s wise and sober policy instead of the “batshit crazy” Nuland-Biden policy

#9 We can only reproach our own house.

Yes. Precisely. The Democrats are fools and grifters but no one expects otherwise. There are no excuses for tolerating the insane warmongering of the likes of McCain and Miss Lindsey Graham. Shame on us for letting these little maniacs drag us into this mess.

I preferred DJTs treatment of Russia. It was firm, respectful and no-nonsense. But then DJT was not real GOP. He was just 100% sane.

Just imagine how much better off everyone would be, Ukrainians included but especially ourselves, if we could have continued with Trump’s tough-but-respectful, restrained, balanced approach toward Russia.

The only question now is how to stop this train and get to a negotiated settlement before Nuland-Biden drives it off a cliff.

How the fuck did we get saddled with such a deranged crew of maniacs pushing WWIII? Who benefits from this?

Russian Official Warns of World War Three if Ukraine Joins NATO
Reuters
Oct. 13, 2022

“Kyiv is well aware that such a step would mean a guaranteed escalation to World War Three," TASS quoted Alexander Venediktov, the deputy secretary of Russia's Security Council, as saying.

Venediktov, who is deputy to Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev, a powerful Putin ally, said he felt Ukraine's application was propaganda as the West understood the consequences of Ukrainian membership of NATO.

"The suicidal nature of such a step is understood by NATO members themselves," he said.

#18 Not even kidding: I bought a bottle of potassium iodine. It's on the way. I couldn't even buy tablets because they're all sold out. I had to buy powder, which you use to make a solution.

Thanks, Brandon, now I'm a fucking prepper. I really did this because they are really and truly escalating and could very well start a nuclear war.

#19 Ukrainian Nazis, Russian white supremacists — I see no difference between the two, especially since they were training together in St. Petersburg only a few years ago.

And I find it really tiresome to be insulted by both sides for refusing to see only the evil of the party they aren’t.

#20 So you’re tired. Boo boo.

There is no comparison. The Ukrainian Nazis:

- have killed thousands and raped and tortured thousands more in eastern Ukraine

- set off a civil war that began in 2014 and that continues to this day

- bullied a weak amateurish new Ukrainian president into rejecting the peace platform he ran on and was elected to pursue, forcing him to walk away from the Minsk accords and escalating the war

- goaded that puppet president into making unreasonable and foolish demands — eg “taking back” Crimea — thereby pushing the US and Russia to the brink of a nuclear war.

Nuclear war. Largely because of the wicked and extraordinary influence of these monsters.
