Victory day parade organised in Dublin by the Russian supporters

For all those who want to labour under the delusion that this convoy isn't Kremlin connected, who is organising this jamboree? Council of Russian Compatriots of Ireland.

Who are they? I'm glad you asked.

These Compatriots organisations are in every country with a significant Russian diaspora and are directly coordinated by the Russian embassy. Have a veneer of "community group", but are actually a nationalist rent-a-crowd for the Russian Foreign Ministry for when they want to kick up a fuss.

World Coordinating Council of Russian Compatriots is the overarching body which is directly under the control of the GRU.

So yeah, anyone defending this convoy is a useful idiot if they want to admit it or not.

What's wrong with waving a Russian flag? When you're doing it at the behest and coordination of the Russian embassy in the guts of a fascist war, that's when.

Feel free to spend your life acting as a useful idiot and speaking in defence of an autocratic regime. Perhaps you like the masochism of it all. Other people aren't so naiive.

The Azov battalion spent their time waxing Donbas separatists and uniformed combatants.

They were a nasty outfit that had little time for the rules of war, but there is no serious accounts outside of Russian propaganda guff of them systematically or deliberately targeting civilians.

Russia started a dirty war with astroturfed separatist extremists and later regular debadged Russian army. Azov rinsed a lot of these assh*les and sent them to meet their maker, which made them a bete noir in the Russian world.

They were never a particularly large outfit and were composed at the start by mere football ultras (from a particular club when two of them were shot dead by Russian irregulars in cold blood). That Russian forces got f*cked up by them is actually rather humourous.

Keep on huffing nonsense from the Kremlin propaganda hosepipe.

Because anyone arming themselves to invade and pillage another country at the behest of fascist is going to meet their end. They'll meet their end by the laws of war or will be sent back to their mothers infirm eating through a straw, so what does it matter what they get called?

After the butchering of civilians in Bucha and the razing of Mariupol, you're worried about what people on the internet call the perpetrators?

Your backside is showing son.

I'll repeat, there are no credible reports outside of Russian guff indicating systemic deliberate targeting of civilians by the Azov battalion. You can guzzle all the congealed nonsense from Kremlin hosepipes all you want.

What they did do was wax Russian regulars and irregulars by the bushel in 2014, often not by Queensbury rules, but I can't say that I give a sh*t.

They were nasty pr*cks, but hey, don't try to bring down a state by hybrid warfare and you won't get nasty bastards sending Russian fascists to the grave.

I'm not a pearl clutcher, every Russian separatist or unbadged regular Russian troop earned their ticket to the afterlife in 2014 and beyond.

Tankies never learn. I see Prigozhin is losing it. Filmed a video of himself wading through the bodies of his merry army of criminals, ranting at Putin. Love to see it.

Is your credulity anything to do with your Tankie posting in other threads or is it a mere coincidence?
