Previous speakers at Stanford university have faced disruption, but Azov gets a free pass. You'd think that a glance at the logos at the bottom of the flier would raise eyebrows at the prestigious American university, if only because the Azov insignia looks like it could belong to Nazis. Not that it's any coincidence.
Canadian military officers who had been involved in Western training and equipping of Azov fighters going back years prior to the current conflict with Russia had expressed concern with tattoos that they had spotted on their Ukrainian trainees. But instead of slowly backing out of the room, the West forged ahead while hoping that its enabling of neo-Nazis wouldn't catch the attention of the press, as the Ottawa Citizen has reported. The Canadian military was particularly concerned that the trainers' photos with the Azov fighters would appear in public. But apparently Stanford senior fellow Francis Fukuyama, had no such issue, appearing in a photo from the event that was posted online by one of the Azov wives.
Comment: This further exposes how universities are just as much part of the Western propaganda and control system as mainstream media and governments themselves. See also:
