So a bunch of conspiracy bullshit with no backing, just a stupid sounding voice over and a flat denial of reality.
Really, calling Jan 6th anything but an insurrection led by Trump supporters who were whiny little bitches, mad that their preferred hate monger lost, is pathetic.
We all watched it live on TV, although, you might have been there in person, you seem the type. Hell, even Fox covered it as it was happening, and didn't start denying the events until almost a full week later.
The Azov Battalion, which was only allowed to exist because they were fighting off a Russian invasion, you know, the invasion that Russia started in 2014. It's just that the Russian troops in Ukraine were "on vacation" until the official invasion kicked off. But being on vacation didn't stop them from shooting down a commercial airplane that flew too close to their paranoid trigger fingers.
For those not in the know, the Azov Battalion was originally a volunteer unit that was founded by far-right figures (and admittedly, and somewhat bizarrely, partially funded by a Jewish-Ukrainian oligarch). However, in 2015, it was folded into the Ukrainian National Guard, and subsequently subjected to the ordinary controls on recruitment and retainment (ie active neonazis were kicked out).
There is some suggestion that the unit still has elements of a far-right culture that linger, but it would be disingenuous to continue calling them a neonazi unit, as recruits from all over Ukraine regardless of leaning or origin; Jewish, Liberal, Leftist, etc; have been assigned to the unit through normal channels and very few of the original members remain.
the only agreement needed is for russian troops to leave all of ukraine. if russia was a better neighbor maybe ukraine and other countries wouldnt be looking to join nato.
