Oh so you’re defending specifically the nazis fighting Russia.

Interesting stance for a German to take. 🤔

You can, as always, stop defending Nazis.

I’m also in favour of sending the proud boys to the front in case of Canada invading the US. Really, any defensive situation.

Making them fight defensive wars is the only sensible use a society can make of fascists. In more senses than one.

You’d have a good point if the ukranian state was doing some kind of gloryless Suicide charge with them. Based on all they’ve said they’re integrating the Nazi militia into the state to fight alongside normal people and become war heroes.

Stop finding excuses to defend Nazis.

If you’d send them only on suicide missions they wouldn’t cooperate. Still, each Nazi on the front is one non-Nazi not needed at the front.

As to heroes: Needs must. In Germany we’re nuking Nazis in the military from orbit, we’re also disallowing Nazis from fighting in Ukraine’s foreign legions, because we don’t want to have Nazis skilled in combat. That, however, is a secondary concern when you’ve got Russia invading you.

As to heroes the second: The likes of right sector are very unpopular, politically speaking, in Ukraine. There’s plenty of non-Nazi war heroes – another reason to not have Nazis fight alone, so that there’s no valour that they can earn alone. They won’t be able to capitalise on having fought.

The only sensible use a society can make of nazis is as catapult ammunition. You DO NOT, under any circumstances, want to give fascists actual combat training and military action. That’s how you get Freikorps after the war. Why would you want that?

Because read a bit more into the thread I addressed that. Right-wing bullshit is politically rather less popular in Ukraine than it was in WWI-era Germany. Context matters.
