View submission: Ukrainian thoughts on Azov
I'm not saying the whole unit holds (Neo)Nazi beliefs. Just that it's weird they removed the black sun, yet retained the 'Wolfsangel'.
And to the second part : The fucking US army armed and trained the FSA, which, in part, turned into ISIS.

Both symbols hold meanings beyond nazi ideology, also its an inverted "wolfsangel" the letters I and N meaning "National Idea" not remotely the same as the nazi symbol. Its almost the same as people who confuse the Hindu swastika with nazism, although in that case it represents the sun, good luck and prosperity not anything remotely related to ultranationalist ideology.
Did you even read the entire post OP made or did you just go and make a comment with your preconceived ideas?
I don't know if you can really compare some of the Free Syrian Army members joining ISIS with Azov battalion, apples and oranges. Also Canada is not the US, they don't help or go into wars they have no business being in. Not sure if you remember but we were one of the nations that objected at the UN to the illegal Iraq war, along Germany and France.
There actually was intensive debate about helping Azov because of the Russian propaganda that's been spread, but intelligence officials shared their info with the house of commons and now the mission only has a handful of detractors.
