White Supremacy in NATO Uniform
In the West, it’s considered impolite to talk about it. In polite liberal company, it’s dismissed as “Russian propaganda.” But the facts are on the record, and the swastikas aren’t hiding. As Consortium News has once again documented, Ukraine’s military forces—showered with Western weapons, intelligence, and political support—are deeply infiltrated by neo-Nazi ideology and formations.
This isn’t a fringe detail. This is central to the architecture of the war effort. NATO, the EU, and the U.S. have built their proxy war against Russia on a foundation of ultra-nationalism, historical revisionism, and outright fascist revival. And they’ve done it with full knowledge—and full complicity.
Azov Isn’t Ancient History
Let’s be clear: the Azov Battalion, now formally absorbed into Ukraine’s National Guard, didn’t disappear. It rebranded. The same battalion that flew the Wolfsangel insignia, praised Hitler collaborators like Stepan Bandera, and publicly called for the purification of Ukraine through ethnic cleansing is now one of the key recipients of U.S.-NATO training and arms.
What began as a paramilitary militia has become a pipeline for NATO integration. These formations receive modern Western arms, communications technology, and battlefield intelligence. They are legitimized by photo-ops with foreign dignitaries and elevated by corporate media as freedom fighters. This is not denazification. This is renazification.
The West’s Dirty Secret
Western leaders know exactly who they’re dealing with. The FBI, the State Department, and even the ADL (when not performing selective outrage) have acknowledged the neo-Nazi networks embedded in Ukraine’s military structure. But Washington, London, and Brussels made a calculation: if fascists can bleed Russia, then fascists can be friends.
This isn’t the first time. During the Cold War, the CIA shielded former Nazi officers to use them against the Soviet bloc. Operation Gladio weaponized far-right groups across Europe to destabilize communist and socialist movements. What we see in Ukraine today is not an aberration—it’s continuity. The only thing new is the social media branding.
Militarized Memory and Historical Amnesia
The revival of fascist ideology in Ukraine isn’t spontaneous. It’s state-sponsored. Monuments to WWII Nazi collaborators have been erected. Streets named after ethnic cleansers. School curricula rewritten to glorify Bandera. Journalists and historians who challenge this narrative are smeared or silenced.
This historical revisionism is part of the war. By portraying the 2014 Maidan coup and its aftermath as democratic revolution rather than a far-right seizure of power, the Western media launders fascism and sanitizes settler violence. NATO and EU flags fly beside Nazi-era emblems, and no one bats an eye.
Why the Empire Loves Fascists
Fascism, contrary to popular belief, is not an enemy of capitalism. It is capitalism in crisis—armed, organized, and stripped of its liberal mask. It defends the ruling class with brute force, crushes labor, criminalizes dissent, and offers nationalist spectacle as a distraction from material suffering.
In Ukraine, fascism serves imperialism well. It ensures ideological purity in a client state. It fuels permanent war. It creates a paramilitary culture of obedience and blood sacrifice. It disciplines the domestic population through militarism and chauvinism. And perhaps most importantly, it provides the West with disposable shock troops.
The Liberal Cover-Up
While the far-right openly marches in Ukrainian cities, Western liberals—especially in the media and NGO sector—have acted as apologists and propagandists. Terms like “far-right nationalism” are used to soften the blow. Any mention of Azov is deflected or dismissed. “Both sides,” they say. “Not representative,” they claim.
But the evidence is overwhelming. Neo-Nazi ideology is not a marginal force in Ukraine’s war effort. It is embedded in its institutions. It is armed by its allies. And it is whitewashed by its sponsors. If these were brown-skinned fighters waving ISIS flags, there would be no ambiguity. But since they wear camouflage and speak the language of “freedom,” they are conveniently rebranded.
What’s at Stake
The West’s alliance with fascist formations in Ukraine is not just a moral failure. It is a geopolitical gamble that threatens to export violence, reactionary ideology, and paramilitary networks across Europe and beyond. Already, fascist movements across the EU are emboldened. White supremacists in the U.S. openly idolize Azov fighters. Ukraine has become both a battlefield and a breeding ground.
What’s being constructed under the banner of “defending democracy” is a monstrous contradiction: a proxy war against Russia waged by people who would have fought alongside the Third Reich. And behind it all is a trillion-dollar weapons pipeline and a propaganda machine running 24/7.
Conclusion: Fascism in the Service of Empire
Neo-Nazism in Ukraine is not a bug. It’s a feature. It’s what happens when empire backs any force willing to kill its enemies—no matter the ideology, no matter the consequences. And when the smoke clears, it won’t be Ukraine that emerges stronger. It’ll be the corporations that sold the guns, the think tanks that sold the war, and the fascists who now have a seat at the table.
If the West really cared about democracy, it wouldn’t arm fascists. But the West doesn’t want democracy—it wants hegemony. And in Ukraine, that hegemony now wears a black sun patch and calls itself a hero.
