I scrolled through the irrelevant section "Outsmarting Russians" devoted to the events that has been reported on many times before, but they buried two paragraphs about this "commander" being a Nazi there. I don't think many people would read through this haystack of already known events in search of the needle they don't even know is there.
"The drones had been smuggled into Russia and assembled, and launched from trucks deep within Russian territory, in another huge victory for Ukraine’s spies.
Ukraine’s latest intelligence success means Denis Kapustin, a far-Right extremist and former football hooligan, is inside Ukrainian territory and “preparing to continue carrying out assigned tasks”, said a Ukrainian commander.
The commander’s family moved from Moscow to Germany when Mr Kapustin was 17 and he relocated to Ukraine in 2017.
Since 2019, he has been banned from entering the Schengen Area for promoting neo-Nazi ideology."
Quite abrupt switch of topic, don't you think? It's like the editor cut and pasted these paragraphs from more prominent place to the place which 90% of readers won't read. It's not the first time I see this dark pattern in Western media.
So if the section that's irrelevant is the one with your "concerns" then why on earth are we expected to care about the thing you are calling irrelevant.
I'm a bit concerned by that, yes. Your portrayal isn't very accurate, as this thread shows clearly, but yes it's a bad situation.
Regardless, you're doing a hero's version of moving the goalposts here, which tends to undermine the point.
The small point I'll make for you is that white nationalist / neo nazi agenda is unforgivably bad, regardless of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".
The small point I'll make for myself is that war is complicated and nasty and we, the world of folks not currently at war, aren't doing enough to shape this conflict according to our stated values.
Not so.
