A good portion of the neo-Nazis in America with paramilitary experience went to fight for Ukraine in the 2014-2015 Ukrainian civil war alongside the Azovs against Donbass separatists backed by Russia. It is unthinkable that the Nazis will somehow defect and turn around and fight against their own.
Also, you just reminded me of something unrelated but incredibly funny.
Remember when Ian from Forgotten Weapons (youtube gun channel) was promoting a new book from a Swedish fascist about his experience fighting with the Azovs? He was eventually bullied and backed down from publishing the book. That was 3 weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine.
Imagine if he had just waited for another 3 weeks - that book would probably have become a bestseller with liberals hailing the Swedish Azov fighter as the great anti-Russian hero of our time.
