So book your ticket. Get to attacking.

Heard that there were so many Canadians they made a Unit of them. Likely true of all other foreign Volunteers as the numbers are high from all over. Anyone serious likely can find a network of Support from Travel Costs to equipment to where they should go and when.

I came across this account of a family evacuating in a car from the smaller city of Rubizhne and were gunned down by Azovs. The young woman's father is now dead. They're being interviewed in a hospital, some of them wounded. Had a Russian soldier not helped as they were pinned down by gunfire it could've went even worse for them.

Sadly this story is not unique. There are many such accounts and witnesses of the inhuman nature of the Nazi nationalists.

One reason the Nazis in WW2 were so inhumane is that many of them were meth addicts. Over time, Meth changes the stucture of the brain significantly, and in a very inhuman way. They loose any sense of compassion. I have more than a hunch that the same is happening here, and that there are many methheads within the Azov battalion, which is a big part of the reason these attrocities are being committed.
you seem obsessed with Nazi's and stuff. Not sure if trolling or need psychiatric help:

Guess you know Trump more than the rest of us.
I mean surely you don’t actually believe he cared about Ukraine or Russia invading it.

I mean come on.
I realize they have a bias (might be hard if not to, if one actually was aware of the reality), but the point that counts is their content is generally valid and imho, fairly reliable. That's something you'd have to see for yourself.

It wouldn't surprise me that some of their field and front line footage is forwarded to them via FSB services.
’they might be a propaganda arm of the Russian government but hey who cares.’

lol.

Thanks for demolishing whatever small amount of credibility you might have had left. I hope you’re being paid to humiliate yourself like this because if it’s volunteer work that’s just sad.

Its already here. Fucked up truth is its already here.
Importantly, it’s not WWIII. The war is being contained to Ukraine and not spreading into other states within Europe. While this bears with it sadness, in that the means to this containment is withholding of NATO forces and not allowing direct military action from taking place against Russian forces in Ukraine.

While it must be extremely difficult for you to watch this devastation from a much closer distance - this is what NATO has agreed to. While it is a small probability that Putin would use nuclear weapons, it is not zero if he were to feel cornered. Out of all the stupid wars we have fought without cause, shedding blood and wasting treasure, this one would be justified.

The world wide sanctions being imposed on Russia will cripple Russia for decades to come, so long as we don’t stupidly negotiate them away. That will end their military adventurism, and pave a long term path to accepting Ukraine into NATO. They deserve in light of their brave defense of their nation and Russia will be powerless to stop it, despite whatever agreements have been made.

Hang in there, as group, the NATO countries are uniting in a common cause and regaining their strength and moral footing.

Ukraine is accepting civilian volunteers to fight...have you booked YOUR flight yet? I mean...if it's so important to you that we do something...lead by example.

I'm really tired of this nonsense. That's what we have a military for, and our elected officials are the ones that decide when it will be used. It's not unreasonable to want our country and our military to do something to help, and our military is the force that would do that work. If you at least want to have a better position, tell them to join the military instead of the "go on your own if you want it so bad" nonsense.

Your argument is akin to a neighbor watching the next door neighbor beating the shit out of his wife and telling that neighbor to go over and deal with the abuse themselves, versus calling the police.

Our military is trained and equipped to deal with exactly what is happening in Ukraine, and I would bet you that many members in the military are chomping at the bit to do something to help if they could. I know kids that volunteered to fight in the middle east in our previous failed wars, and would do so again. The decision rests in the hand's of our commander in chief, and he's so scared of WWIII right now he's shaking in his boots.

They have a car maker? I thought they just bought a few platforms from Fiat, assembled them in Russia, and stuck a Russian badge on them?

From wiki - "in the early years of the company certain parts and subassemblies were imported from Fiat's suppliers in Italy until they could be locally sourced"

Well you shouldn't be tired of it. Spain, France, China, Afghanistan... Americans have a long history of volunteering for wars our government didn't or couldn't join.

Judicious caution about ending the world as we know is not "quaking in his boots," that's a CiC, who isn't a sociopath and moron, doing his job.

You should probably watch the video Racan posted. "Put up or shut up" isn't nonsense, it's telling posers and e-tough guys that both their bluster and take on world events isn't impressing anyone. Someone being all gung ho for others to die while posting from a comfortable warm room 5000 miles away, dismissing the very real risk of nuclear war - now that's getting tiresome.

Zelensky showing video footage of a war torn country to a joint session of Congress. How soon before the pictures of Republican members on their phones?

So by your logic only those gung ho types should go over and fight. You are exactly right, fortunately we have people already trained and available, people that have already willingly joined our military to serve our country. We are not asking to conscript citizens and remove them from their homes and jobs, this is not Vietnam, this is not Iraq or Afghanistan. This akin to Kuwait.
