Well they found the only bastion of actual Nazis in power in the world and gave them heavy weaponry. Not "aren't swastikas cool" Nazis. The folks who keep accidentally showing off their SS and black sun insignias on their footage committing war crimes, those Nazis
I could care less about the folks lobbing around the word 'nazi' so willy nilly that they started accusing proud boys of being neo-nazis despite the whole 'black men taking a creed explicitly denouncing racism to join a multiracial group' thing.
America remained a whole lot more nebulous about our support for ISIS during the Obama era. At first the neoliberals tried to sanitize "pro-democracy sunni freedom fighters", but when they started forming their own caliphate we eventually backed off and armed the kurds to kill ISIS, so we can say we explicitly supported the Kurds and that might piss off Erdogan but I don't really care, and our creation of ISIS boils down more to poor strategy and lack of foresight and a few shadowy CIA weapons shipments, more than actual overt support for ISIS against Assad. But we really threw that kind of deniability and clean-hands approach out the window when it came to the Azov Battalion and all those wonderful folks with Swastikas, SS tattoos and framed pictures of Stepan Bandera.
always nice to see narratives change
we got years of propaganda to get support for so called "moderate rebels" in syria who just wanted democracy
they were (aside from the kurds ofc) literally sunni extremists the entire time and then became ISIS
now we get people worshopping literal nazi collaborators as heroes (bandera), that participated in the holocaust, running around with swastikas and black sun symbols fighting for the freedom of the entire world
a while ago the same media talked about the same place being one of the most corrupt shitholes in the world with a government eliminating all opposition, bombing civilians and nationalists hosting literal hitler youth camps
npc's gonna npc
