First the Russian milbloggers having a go, now this guy on the TV saying Russia is in trouble
Basically saying that in any fight, the guy that's willing to die has the advantage - and right now that's the Ukrainians
Your wan here keeps pushing back on the guy, but he's laying it out fairly plainly (or what passes for plainly) on Russian TV
for sure, talking on two different topicsi don't think his two statements are mutually exclusive
I’ll warn you now this is a tough one to watch.

yeah - generally I google people before making judgements and do my own research.I’m dreading any response to this because the video really is horrific and I have no desire to defend the russian invasion. the problem is that there is now a more-or-less open western proxy war in Ukraine, which will not only kill and destroy many thousands of humans, but it will also effectively turn Ukraine into a third-world disasterzone for decades to come, which is something that the western world ultimately doesn’t care about. and we are part of the propaganda side of this war.
we should, at the very least, keep our eyes open about who exactly is being amplified here.
Personally, right now, I don’t care. She seemed to be doing the right things for the right reasons. I know that’s a gross over simplification but I think Ukrainians will be happy to wait and deal with who is/isn’t a nazi when the war is over.the video is by a woman called Julia Paevska
back in 2019, a different universe, it was still acceptable for mainstream journalists to to call her what she is: an ultranationalist

taken from an article in January 2019 by those renowned tankie Putinists, the Pulitzer Center:
The Art of Crowdfunding War
Yuri Deychakiwsky thinks he was home in North Potomac, Md., when he saw the video. He can't recall exactly. After writing so many checks to support the war effort overseas, even watching bombs rain...pulitzercenter.org
all I would say is — why do these people keep popping back up now? why do people who are “ultranationalist,” “ex-far-right,” “extremist,” “unsavoury past,” and all the rest of it, keep getting laundered through reputable outlets like the AP, and are now able to re-launch themselves as context-free patriots?

There’s an interesting quote comparing the levels of nazis in azov battalion & “hillbilly klansmen” in the US Marines further down in that article.
saying Julia was a ultranationist now turned battlefield medic would have done the job. the issue is the tenor of the report. in journalism if something is held back then the whole piece comes under question.Personally, right now, I don’t care.

Absolutely 100% agree but in this specific case if there’s someone out risking their life to help save lives - ukrainian or Russian - then that’s good enough for now.yep, that’s partly why I said I was dreading pointing this out. but I suppose the difference here is that I don’t think that there will ever be some kind of neat settling-of-accounts “after the war.” if anything, the more capable parts of the ukrainian far-right will simply be integrated into a new western-aligned state security apparatus, just like what happened throughout much of europe after world war 2, and will get to terrorise whoever they feel like. there’s precedent here.
