lol, the US is so beholden to Saudi Arabia and helps prop up their evil government, and then SA sides with Putin and offers no negotiation on oil issues.

I love how the US keeps shooting itself with these one sided relationships with countries like Saudi Arabia and Israel.

its wild how all our allies either give us poo poo in exchange for nothing or receive poo poo in exchange for nothing and theres no middle ground between the two

it's also becoming clear that this is not limited to azov, nazi regalia looks pretty common among the rank and file ukrainian soldiery. which shouldn't be a surprise, considering that soldiers at war tend towards extremism (i'm sure there's tons of weird and deeply suspect attitudes in the russian camp as well + kadyrov's army of psychos), but it does demonstrate a part of the problem with including an explicit nazi batallion as a valourised part of your official army, namely that naziism then gets an official sanction with hardcore guys posing a "good" example

It's not just the "soldiers at war made into extremists" thing. Ukrainian nationalism is a movement descended from anti-Soviet Nazi collaborators. Their whole national identity and mythos is linked to it (note the constant imagery and praise for Bandera and the OUN).

So you basically have far-right anticommunists who, due to the circumstances of history, now have their hatred aimed at modern Russia, another right-wing nation (and also anyone within their country unfortunate enough to be non-white).

Not a whole lot has happened recently, it looks like the Russians are either prepping for the siege or waiting to see how negotiations are going or both.

or demoralized, starved and getting owned by militias, if you believe some overly optimistic accounts.

Without saying I necessarily disagree with your broad strokes here, what is your point? Ukraine should be folded into Russia? It does not have a legitimate claim to sovereignty?

There’s been speculation as long as I can remember that low, slow, Colts (AN-2) would be used for air landings by the DPRK. They have an absurdly low stall speed so you can use them like those WW2 gliders.

The Hostomel airport battle honestly made me think if there isn't a place for a modern design of glider in airborne operations.

Then again, people have been trying to made zeppelins work for aerial logistics and observation forever and apparently it just doesn't work, so probably just my foolish romanticism speaking.

the point is that NATO, as it has since its formation, is actively supporting nazi takeovers of foreign powers in the hope nazis will serve as a better counterbalance to Russian interests, OP

The chief export of ancient Germanic tribes was cool shapes and unfortunately, when the Romans invaded, they inextricably linked forever fascism with those same cool shapes. It's one of the great tragedies of history.
