The John Stewart, Azov battalion Halushka "War Games"connection is one of the most unnerving things I've heard lately. Halushka has the sonnenrad symbol tatooed on his left elbow, it's big. This is an example of what I perceive as the new fascism: ethnic, religious affiliations, are of no account: all are welcome, especially, the rich, powerful and socially prominent.
Yes, but you see that the Buffalo shooter, who also sported Sonnenrads, was a Bad Nazi, while Azov are Good Nazis.
Sorta like how the same people who became the Taliban were "freedom fighters" when the USSR was the enemy, and Bin Laden himself got fawning puff pieces in the NYT.
And speaking of ancient history, does anyone remember that much hyped brigade of special LGTBQXZYPDQ+ Ukrainian soldiers sporting a rainbow colored patch in the shape of a unicorn?
I follow combat reports from Ukraine pretty closely and I haven't seen these brave warriors mentioned anywhere since. Strange, since Ukraine is on its seventh mobilization, press ganging men as old as 70, and needs all the warm live bodies that it can get.
Unicorn, eh? Well, why not? Who knows what's really going on when you can strike off. Western media unilaterally and must be very careful about the rest as well. I think we can believe the West chipped around $50 billion into this crap shoot, betting the rent on a Ukraine "win," however that is defined. As for sexual identity generally, I couldn't care less. We are what we are and the universe doesn't take sides, so long as it doesn't all end in anihilation.
There are the good bad guys, and the bad bad guys, and gals of course (the great philosopher Rumsfeld?). And they're all interchangeable, depending on what's called for. Keeps us all busy tsking and tasking, hoping and or praying, feeling good/bad, sending money to good causes, voting and paying taxes, supporting Nazi causes. And of course, some of us even volunteer and die for hopeless, and even evil causes.

Unless, of course, it was all a publicity stunt.

I bring it up because it was a pretty clear case of empty virtue signaling, intended to keep western liberals on-side.
I wish it was empty, but it seems to be packed with a toxin, a poison pill to enquiry.
You are right, of course: these non-issues always come in handy as distractions.

All "sins" are forgiven if the cause is "right". Story is as old as the hills or corruption in government.
