Ukraine’s National Guard boasts of Nazis killing Russian Muslim ‘orcs’ with lard bullets

Ukraine’s National Guard praised its neo-Nazi fighters from the white-supremacist Azov movement for greasing bullets with pig fat to kill Russian Muslims, demonizing them as “orcs.”

Ukraine’s Western-backed National Guard has praised its Nazis fighters for greasing bullets with lard to kill Russian Muslims, demonizing them as “orcs.”

The official, verified Twitter account of the Ukrainian National Guard tweeted a video on February 27 showing a soldier from the neo-Nazi Azov movement dipping bullets in pig fat.

“Azov fighters of the National Guard greased the bullets with lard against the Kadyrov orcs👊,” the Ukrainian National Guard wrote.

“Kadyrov” is a reference to Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of the Chechen Republic, a Muslim-majority region of the Russian Federation.

The Ukrainian National Guard dehumanized these Muslim Chechen fighters in the Russian army by referring to them as “orcs,” brutish monsters from fantasy books like “The Lord of the Rings.”

The Ukrainian Nazi soldier in this video is also greasing bullets with lard as a way to insult Muslims.

In Islam, pork and other pig products are seen as haram, that is to say unclean and forbidden.

In other words, the Western-backed Ukrainian state is publicly portraying Muslims as barbarians, and praising its Nazi soldiers for threatening to kill them with lard-greased bullets that they hope will send Chechen fighters to Hell.

Azov is an explicitly neo-Nazi militia that helped lead a violent US-sponsored coup in Ukraine in 2014, and was subsequently incorporated into the Ukrainian National Guard.

Azov uses Nazi symbols like the German Wolfsangel and preaches a white-supremacist fascist ideology that portrays Ukrainians as a pure white race fighting supposedly impure “Asiatic” Russians.

Russia militarily intervened in Ukraine on February 24, claiming its goal is to demilitarize and “denazify” its neighbor’s government.

Ukraine’s Western supporters have long insisted that Russian claims of Nazi influence in Ukraine are false or greatly exaggerated.

But Ukraine’s own National Guard publicly praising its neo-Nazi fighters for insulting and killing Muslims shows that far-right extremist ideology is pervasive in the Ukrainian state, especially in the security services.

Nazi Azov fighters have received training from the US military and support from other Western governments.

NATO’s de facto think tank, the Atlantic Council, which is funded by the US State Department and Western governments, has previously praised Azov neo-Nazi fighters as anti-Russian heroes.

Western corporate media outlets have also amplified Azov Nazi propaganda as recently as this January and February.

    Echos of the 1857 Sepoy rebellion in India, when propaganda was spread that the Enfield’s rifle cartridges were greased with pig or cow fat. The British attributed the propaganda to Russia.

      Not echos but replay of the hateful script script against Muslims and their faith of pig fat as sacrilegious.
      It was not a “propaganda” back in 1857 nor is it now.
