And it still keeps coming.

How is it possible that a random anti-ukrainian blogger declares an openly hate-inspired writer "the best writer on Ukrainian public opinion concerning politics" and right away this is accepted as fact and his weired statements as true?

If it's inconveniant to the own storyline that the electorate evidently turns away from right wing parties, then the narrative simply changes to declare all the other political figurheads Nazis.
In such an environment reason luckily isn't required anymore to justiy action. Nazis are the mortal enemy, they're everwhere, behind evey rock. As such, simply pointing at someone and screaming "Nazi", without any explanation or reasoning, is enough to put that person outside of human society. Just like in the dark middle ages yelling "wich" was enough to get a woman burned alive.
Simply stating the ukrainian people are far right as a whole and therefore all their leaders are de facto Nazi just continiues the stream of blunt insults.

Also, how is military action against aggressive, broad scale military grade insurection and foreign military intervention per se a nazi policy?

If there were a violent insurection in Kaliningrad and surrounding nations would welcome and support it, would the russian leadership and public accept this as the free will of the people and abstain from military action to preserve peace in the area?
Or don't you think they'd condem this as foreign inspired moves to weaken Russia and then move quickly and decisively to crush that insurection with overwhelming military force? And if they did, does that then make the russian society ultra-nationalist-rightist nazis?
The same btw goes for the first chechen war, where the chechens decided they want their own state back. They didn't attack Russia, they just said we're a seperate country now.
So in the end, everybody is a Nazi which bring us back to the beginning in that circle. All the hate filled namecalling is completely meaningless.

Its time to rein this section of the discussion in.

The UN vote is a valid point of interest and well worth noting and recording.
Otherwise, we know already that there are some very unsavoury characters involved in or close to the Maidan Government and some openly NeoNazis groups being supported and militarised in Kiev's ATO

These are acknowledged facts, even by the Western MSM

As these are established previously, we do not need to spend any disproportionate amount of time considering them further.
Please will all posters not dwell on this area of the conflict

Sampan skip to page 46, the anti tank systems. particularly photos 53,61 and 63. Late model post fall systems and documentation. Small arms are only really evident in the case of ukraine when they are blatantly late models like we saw in the Crimea.
remember the USSR treated the Ukraine as a weapons stockpile during the cold war, so once the rebels secured the government warehouses they had enough AK's to fight WW3. Incidentally expect that if this ever "Settles out" lots of those AK's to pop up across the world as crime guns and arming all kinds of terror groups and rebels.
but the ATGM's and surface to Air man portable missiles, those have a shelf life. the Stingers the CIA gave to the Afghans are all paper weights now. so you need those to be bought regularly. and there we have critical late dates.

Thanks
I will take a look in that direction.
Meantime a very timely video that touches on the very subject

I don't like the musical choice. The are definitely using live ammo, no simulators or duds here. seems there target is just the broad side of a hill which would be fine for a area target but given the number of burnt out vehicles they have on hand it probably would have been a good move to park a few rusting tanks and APC's down range, even a big board with a tank panted on the side. launcher looks like a fagot ( note nato reporting name not derogatory) or a Konkurs both are known in Ukrainian service.
