Having reached the end of the line, having been felted, the Ukraine is doing some very serious brand management. They’ve introduced a totally anal Unicorn Force.

They’re also trying to be slightly less Nazi, in order to appeal to people who are not so Nazi.

This is happening as the Ukraine is trying to form a completely new military from people they’ve just grabbed off the streets in Kiev.

RT:

The infamous Azov nationalist regiment, which is being revived by Ukraine after it surrendered to Russian forces in Mariupol, has removed the Nazi-linked Wolfsangel symbol from its insignia, The Times reported on Monday.

According to the British paper, the unit’s new recruits in the city of Kharkov were sporting patches with a golden trident, which is Ukraine’s national emblem, thereby replacing the Wolfsangel or ‘wolf’s hook’ which had been used by the Azov Battalion since its formation eight years ago.

However, the commander of the new unit, Maksim Zhorin, told that paper that it was formed “on the same principles and ideological basis as the legendary Azov regiment.”

The Wolfsangel is a historic heraldic symbol that was chosen by the Nazis during World War II and appeared on the insignia of several SS divisions.

The Times said that the presence of the Wolfsangel on the uniforms of the Azov fighters had “helped perpetuate Russian propaganda about Ukraine being in the grip of far-right nationalism.”

However, before the launch of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, the use of Nazi symbolism by the unit had been raising concerns in the Western media, including outlets such as Time magazine and the New York Times.

The Azov Battalion was assembled in 2014 as a volunteer unit that was mainly comprised of far-right activists willing to fight against the self-proclaimed republics in the Donbass region. Several months later, it was officially incorporated into Ukraine’s National Guard by order of then president Petro Poroshenko.

I don’t really even understand this.

It’s not like anyone was criticizing the Nazi thing, other than… Nazis on the internet.

Maybe it was getting criticism from the Europeans, who the Ukrainians may be worried they’re being abandoned by. But in American media, the entire narrative was solidly behind Azov, to the point where it is obvious that there is top-down order to never criticize them.

The other thing about this is: it’s basically an admission that they were Nazis, which goes against the narrative.

I don’t think this really relates to trying to get people more invested in the military domestically. The entire narrative of “Ukraine identity” that the CIA has been building since 2014 has surrounded this “Nazi” Banderaite ideology.

Although, maybe the entirety of Azov surrendering has damaged their brand domestically?

Anyway, I’ll say: changing the Azov logo is on par with threatening to invade Moldova in terms of desperation levels.

Hell hath no fury like a Jew felted.

“neo-Nazi symbol exploited” that’s great journalizm by itself.
Btw the “Civil defense units” (CCO) used that symbol for quite a while e.g. in Bucha. No idea if the Azov battalion still exist.

Well, that’s sound really awkward. Taking a symbol down but insisting on “based on the same principles and ideological basis as the legendary Azov regiment”. Be real journalists and tell us what this ideology is about, how this symbol got there in the 1st place. We are curious.

Neo-Nazis remove neo-Nazi symbol after Russians cite existence of neo-Nazis for justification of removing neo-Nazis? Wow great job guys.

Toning down the Nazism since it’s undermining the virtue-signalling.

I’m going to have to give a firm disavow/10 on this one, fellas.

RT:

A US soldier arrested for sharing information on how to build bombs also allegedly planned to travel to Ukraine to fight with the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, and plotted to bomb a major American news network, according to the FBI.

Jarrett William Smith, a soldier stationed in Fort Riley, Kansas, has been arrested after unwittingly sharing bomb-making instructions with an FBI informant. The private first class is charged with one count of “distributing information related to explosives and weapons of mass destruction,” according to charging documents released Monday.

First of all, the war is pretty much over in the Ukraine.

They do this “leap-frogging” back and forth game where they try and seize a few meters of land in the DMZ that goes back and forth and lob shells at the commie blocks occasionally, but that’s about it.

Oh, and some occasional sabotage.

I don’t even think that they take volunteers anymore.

Either way, I’m starting to get the impression that this guy didn’t really think things through.

Smith reportedly planned to travel to Ukraine to fight alongside the far-right Azov Battalion and also talked about a plot to blow up the headquarters of an American news network with “a large vehicle bomb” in his conversations with the informant.

“Fill a vehicle full of [explosives] then fill a ping pong ball with [commonly available chemical] via drilling then injection. Put the ball in the tank of the vehicle and leave. 30 minutes later, BOOM,” Smith allegedly told the informant in an online chat group, where he said he was looking to meet more “radicals” like himself. He also floated other violent possibilities – including killing members of Antifa or Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke, and blowing up a cell phone tower.

Well…

At least it wasn’t a Walmart, I guess.

Smith reportedly admitted that he provided his online contacts with instructions on how to build bombs when he was arrested on Saturday. “I got knowledge of IEDs [improvised explosive devices] for days,” he said in a Facebook group chat. “We can make cell phone IEDs in the style of the Afghans. I can teach you that.” He also allegedly provided “very specific instructions” for building bombs out of household chemicals and devices, which an FBI bomb technician confirmed were viable.

He apparently decided to incriminate himself upon his arrest and give the names of the people that he sent those bomb-making materials to over FUCKING FACEBOOK of all places.

Not smart.

There is a reason that we talk so much about “fed-posting” – because the feds are real and certain types of posting attracts them like flies to shit, which is why you should avoid doing it.

In general, I don’t understand why people feel the urge to talk to randos on the Internet about their plans to commit acts of terror.

It is very difficult for me to put myself in their shoes, which is why I am inclined to believe that they are all glow-niggers.

But dumb people do exist, I guess. Or maybe these people just need to blow off steam somehow. Either way, by the time someone decides to start fed-posting, they’re certain to do the time without even doing the crime, and the people around them suffer because of their misplaced machismo.

All this is to say that low-IQ rage-posting on social media isn’t the path to victory.

There is a better way, fam.
