I wonder where the enormous amounts of weapons flooding into Ukraine might end up? Do you think it will be with the nice, moderate forces, or the most extremist forces such as those nice neo-Nazi gentlemen in the Azov? Might this cause problems in the future: Syria & Afghanistan?

Yes, @IAPonomarenko may have explicitly and repeatedly proclaimed his "brotherhood" with an actual heavily armed neo-Nazi militia, but he seems nice, and at least he's not Russian.
That the Azov Battalion and other similar groups in Ukraine were a serious neo-Nazi threat was commonly discussed in the Western press -- until about 3 weeks ago when it became taboo. I wrote about it in 2015 when James Clapper wanted to send arms there:
