In an article denouncing on-going Russian investigations into Ukrainian captives for "crimes against peace," @NYTimes correspondent @MarcSantoraNYT offers a full-throated tribute to the fascist Azov Battalion. He writes: 1/ #UkraineRussia #Nazi
"Those being investigated include members of the Azov regiment, who are widely regarded as heroes in Ukraine for holding out for weeks underneath a Mariupol steel plant as Russian forces bombarded the city at the end of one of the bloodiest battles of the war." 2/
Though acknowledging that the Azov Battalion "started out as a far-right militia" which "is now part of the Ukrainian National Guard," Santora, contradicting himself, denounces Russia's "unfounded claims about the influence of Nazism in the country." 3/
Obviously, the integration of Azov into the Ukrainian military is a demonstration of its influence. Moreover, Azov is not some small rag-tag neo-Nazi outfit. Its role not only in Ukraine but as a powerful force in international fascist militias is a well established fact." 4/
The NY Times, in the not all that distant past, reported extensively on the role of Azov in the military training of neo-Nazi militias, including groups active in the United States. On of the articles linked to a video report posted by Time Magazine. time.com/5926750/azov-f… 5/
The NY Times and its reporters, corrupt cheerleaders for American imperialism and its proxy war in Ukraine, are presenting as "heroes" out and out Nazis. 6/6
