Mainly civnats with some tattoos. Some NatSocs. No quality evidence to the contrary. Take care not to lose your ass. Mariupol still hasn't fallen.

Some claiming Kadyrovski are fighting there or interdicting. They are if shooting into ruined apartments counts. Cowering civilians or disarmed Russian troops who won't fight any more are the only foes they ever face, with almost no exception. Jannies, bullies.

The judge cracked with the back of an axe the shinbone on an antelope and the hot marrow dripped smoking on the stones. They watched him. The subject was war.

The good book says that he that lives by the sword shall perish by the sword, said the black.

The judge smiled, his face shining with grease.

What right man would have it any other way? he said.

The good book does indeed count war an evil, said Irving. Yet there’s many a bloody tale of war inside it.

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge. War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way.

He turned to Brown, from whom he’d heard some whispered slur or demurrer. Ah Davy, he said. It’s your own trade we honor here. Why not rather take a small bow. Let each acknowledge each.

My trade?

Certainly.

What is my trade?

War. War is your trade. Is it not?

And it aint yours?

Mine too. Very much so.

What about all them notebooks and bones and stuff?

All other trades are contained in that of war.

Is that why war endures?

No. It endures because young men love it and old men love it in them. Those that fought, those that did not.

That’s your notion.

The judge smiled. Men are born for games. Nothing else. Every child knows that play is nobler than work. He knows too that the worth or merit of a game is not inherent in the game itself but rather in the value of that which is put at hazard. Games of chance require a wager to have meaning at all. Games of sport involve the skill and strength of the opponents and the humiliation of defeat and the pride of victory are in themselves sufficient stake because they inhere in the worth of the principals and define them. But trial of chance or trial of worth all games aspire to the condition of war for here that which is wagered swallows up game, player, all.

Suppose two men at cards with nothing to wager save their lives. Who has not heard such a tale? A turn of the card. The whole universe for such a player has labored clanking to this moment which will tell if he is to die at that man’s hand or that man at his. What more certain validation of a man’s worth could there be? This enhancement of the game to its ultimate state admits no argument concerning the notion of fate. The selection of one man over another is a preference absolute and irrevocable and it is a dull man indeed who could reckon so profound a decision without agency or significance either one. In such games as have for their stake the annihilation of the defeated the decisions are quite clear. This man holding this particular arrangement of cards in his hand is thereby removed from existence. This is the nature of war, whose stake is at once the game and the authority and the justification. Seen so, war is the truest form of divination. It is the testing of one’s will and the will of another within that larger will which because it binds them is therefore forced to select. War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is god.

Brown studied the judge.

You’re crazy Holden. Crazy at last.

The judge smiled.

Looks like the war will be ending soon giving Putin what he wants and showing that Zelensky had no spine to begin with, and with it the West's care about sancshooning Russia. Looks like the world will be back to normal in a few months save for Russia removing itself from globohomo and hopping on chinse payment processor cock.

They are, more accurately, ultra-nationalist, with an extreme hate for Jews generally, “zionists” more specifically and the idea of a Ukraine for anything other than “Ukrainians” [whomever they might be], but not “Russian” Ukies [whomever they might be]. They idolize Bandera and glorify the grand days of their ancestors contributing to the efforts of the German forces in WWII to, among other things, answer the “Jewish question”. Oh, and they just live them some Uncle Adolf.

Unfortunately, their “Naziism” doesn’t go much deeper than a cursory understanding of the forces that drove Germany to become what it became post-Weimar, a liking for the uniforms, the symbols, the excessive saluting and, as I’ve put it previously, “Jews er bad mmmmkay”. In point of fact they’re more trailer trash “Nazi” than even the Charlottesville crowd - who were just looking for a photo op.

All that said, @Harlay de Champvallon ‘s take on them is about the most ill-informed I’ve seen.

Oh, and perhaps owing to their excessive drawing on Nazi iconography and their belief in the great Ukrainian contribution to executing the grand unpleasantness of the WWII era, they’re the “shiny thing” that many Ukrofaacist apologists point to as an “outlier” when, in fact, they’re just the most well known of a number of ultra-nationalist entities in existence in post-coup Ukraine.

What a load of stupid error riddled words. Mariupol still hasn't fallen. It upsets you.

If you think that war was launched for neutrality, I've a bridge to sell you. Copium huffing gopniks and their Jewish monkey king say otherwise. Mr Monke's first words on the war were to deny the national existence of Ukraine. He wanted a vassal state and now he's failing badly. Now Russia's neighbors are licking their lips. The Russians cannot destroy any but the weakest foes. All they have are nukes. They better hang on to them to defend their depopulating and increasingly Moslem country. The HIV and abortion rates suggest plenty of Globohomo in Russia.

Fyi - the pro-Russia group Wagner is also riddled with nazis and I'm not going to defend or minimize that or call people out if they don't like them.
Same scumbags as AZOV.

>they are natsocs
They're not. They have all the hallmarks of neo-nazi groups. That aside though, it is still hilarious to see western homosexuals simping for what is basically the slav version of Atomwaffen.

No, they're unironic Nazis but in addition to the Jew hate there's also Russian hate.

It's a stalling tactic. Negotiation like this takes weeks, so there's no way it will end soon. It most likely will be used by both Kyiv and Moscow to regroup their troops, respectively. Ukraine will go for the offense now, and Russia will switch to defensive position once Mariupol falls

Those are Chechens, they do not need escaping anywhere. Chechens won the last war against Russia and will win the next one.

Nope since you can have my word that we will NEVER see another Chechen war mostly due to the fact that all the actual Nationalists/Islamists died in the 90s or in Syria. What is left is a small dispora in Europe and Kadyrovs Tik Tok brigade. I doubt that the average fella in Grozny gives a fuck since they all have a <90 IQ and certainly don't want to trade their half way comfy life for the Grozny of the 90s.

Dagestan is way more dangerous for the Russian state today then Chechnya but they are even more clan based then Chechnya what makes it hard to start any sort of uprising in this area.
