Claims that those guys were under our command in Syria

 

Since I'm lazy I'm just gonna quote myself from yesterday when this image was posted on r/militaryporn:

 

"Some context since the OP contains very little information:

The defence and security news site, «Aldrimer», recently reported on an interview that had been published on the Swedish far right website «Skandinavisk frihet». In this interview, a man claimed to have served in a unit of Scandinavian volunteers called «Þorbrandr», and that this unit had been fighting for the Russians in Syria during the winter, spring and summer of 2017. The Norwegian flag was apparently the unit insignia, and its commander a Norwegian man who went under the nickname «Norðmaður».

 

The full Aldrimer article with more details and photos (just try your luck with google translate or another translate function): https://www.aldrimer.no/nordmenn-kjempet-pa-russisk-side-i-syria/

 

Now, if this was something that actually happened or just some Russian psyops shenanigans at work, I do not know..."

   Best kind of psyops our MoD managed to do is to write "For Paris" on one bomb after certain events in Paris. Also, aren't those guys neo-nazis? That would be kind of very bad psy ops to work with that kind of humans.

This is just pure speculation on my part, but one could’ve faked a story about a Scandinavian unit kicking ass in Syria to tempt other far right members to travel down there. Neo Nazis are scum of the earth. Scum of the earth who happens to love war and killing, and it's because of that that they could potentially make for some pretty decent cannon fodder in Syria, provided you can control them, of course. No one in Scandinavia cares if these people end up dead, and more importantly, no one in Russia cares if these people end up dead, which means less crying mothers taking to the street to protest the war. And even if they do end up surviving the fighting, then they aren't your problem anymore anyway. They’re the problem of their home countries who now have to keep an even closer eye on them as they represent a much larger threat than they did before (and it would be another way for Russia to stick it to the countries that are currently placing sanctions on it).

 

Come to think of it, the above also works if it's a true story (or if there is some semblance of truth to it at least).

 

The biggest drawback of this, however, is as you've pointed out that it's very bad PR (though maybe not as bad as it should be since people didn't really seem to care THAT much about it during the Ukraine conflict) to be associated with such people, and if this was indeed a real thing, then it looks like they've done an extremely good job at keeping it under the radar since the anonymous interview and those photos are really the only "evidence" we have that this unit even existed. The fact that the interview was originally published on a relatively obscure far right website could also suggest that it might never have been intended to spread outside of that community if it was a controlled leak or made up story.

 

 

But again, this is just pure speculation.

Something that actually represents the relationship between Syria and Israel instead of a lazy fuck da joos!

 

Dude did you even read the article?  

 

Those are not my 'lazy' descriptions, they were all based on direct quotes from Jewish Israeli commentators, including the perpetrators.

It is kind of irrelevant to current situation anyway.
