They're not wrong. Azov have been far-right extremists since the beginning. But imagine if a foreign country invaded the US and gained a sizable stronghole. We'd be arming right-wing militias to repel the invaders too.

They're a help now, but Azov will be a problem in the future.

Yeah, that's a problem. It's almost as if liberalism enables fascism.

They're a help now

No they're fucking not. They're fucking fascists. On what planet are fascists "a help"?

No, you never arm nazis. Azov is worse than just a "right wing militia", they are actual blood and soil neo nazis. How many times that this have to backfire backfire before people realise arming Nazis is a terrible idea?

Also this ignores the fact that far right elements were essential in the 2014 coup taking place in Ukraine. The support of Nazi groups was needed to seperate Russia and Ukraine diplomatically. That's the whole reason "the West" has been arming and supporting them for close to a decade now.

But if we stop trying how will we know for sure it fails 100% of the time?

Who's "we"? Biden? You are saying Biden will arm Jan 6th rioters to repel the Chinese or Russians or whatever?

Also, brave Mujahideen etc etc

I can't wait for Azov to do another 9/11 antelope-popcorn

Point of fact: the right wing militias in the US are already armed.
