There's actually zero footage and reports of Azov doing anything Nazi or supporting any Nazi ideology. Nazis are the guys who try to invade and take over other countries and destroy other people. They're not the guys who get invaded by an imperialist dictatorship that's trying to genocide them.

I'll take that as you not having any examples of what Azov is doing that's "Nazi." And, you don't need to waste your time spreading Russian propaganda either. They have actual paid government agencies to do that already, spending hundreds of millions every year on RT, Internet Research Agency, etc.

The craziest thing about this war is how many "conservatives" who were apparently pretending to support liberty and freedom, turned on those actually fighting for their freedom against a leftist dictatorship, and like common leftists started calling them "Nazis." You couldn't make that shit up.

Nah dude, one lot wants to fight because they think Ukraine belongs to Russia and was always Russian, and the other lot wants to fight because they experienced what it was like to live in a free democracy after spending 70 years under communist dictatorship, and would rather die than go back to living under Russian occupation.

And yet, Russia still holds control from the same Kremlin as USSR, many of the same leadership who were in power during USSR are still there (even Putin is ex-KGB), Russia took over all the seats and positions of USSR in international organizations like UN, instead of reapplying like all other ex-Soviet countries, and what's worse Russia continued all the same USSR policies, from economic like state ownership of all major industries and direct control of businesses, to social like state ownership and control of all media and massive government censorship and propaganda, to international policies. Russia, despite not being USSR, still continued to invade, wage war on, and suppress neighboring countries, such as Georgia 1991 Moldova 1992 (Transnistria) Georgia 1992 Tajikistan 1992 Georgia 1994 (South Ossetia & Ingushetia) Chechnya 1994 Dagestan 1994 Chechnya 1999 Dagestan 1999 Georgia 2008 Ukraine 2014 Ukraine 2022 In Ukraine alone, Russia broke five peace treaties already. And just recently Russia staged a coup in Niger, same way USSR has been doing for decades before it fell apart. But clowns think that "USSR is dead" just because it changed its name, and because western media convinced them that "Russia is okay now, it's different, it's not USSR," and ignored or tried to cover up all the wars and rights abuses Russia has done over the last 30 years.

That's funny. Ukrainians want to be left alone, but you support the ones who aren't leaving them alone, and implying they "deserve" it, that Ukranians deserve Russians and what Russians are doing to them?
