Justin thankyou again for making the time to talk openly with me, Part 1 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMBdnLmrt8W9qZc.html As an independent reporter you make this possible, To support the channel directly. www.patreon.com/willybeatingcancer www.paypal.me/MWilliams745 MERCH www.willyoam.com/

At this rate, this guy will be presented to the Canadian Parliament soon.

Bandera was nazi SS general, he killed 24 thousends of civilian poles only in one place, what side u can watch this human? By his orders died a lot of ukranians and russians. A hero? Playing both sides? He is mass murder. And he is the person who was made for mordern Ukraine kinda national hero. And all this "ideologicaly motivated ppl" azov will portrait him as angel, like themselves.

The title should be called" why you should not join someone elses war."

Thanks for setting this interview up. Justin has obviously experienced the worst of humanity but is making a concerted effort to get on top the inhumanity. Full respect ✊

1:05:28 "None of them were executed, none of them were put against a wall and killed or shot..." 1:06:29 "I didn't say anything because I was afraid I might get shot..." Does anybody else have a feeling our boy here is leaving out many things that would be found unpopular in todays political climate :)?

Soooo somebody forced him to join AZOV?

This young lad is convinced he's now a very experienced, sage, wise old head. He seems to not be aware how young, silly and clueless he still actually is. It's kinda like climbing a mountain. There's always seemingly another rise after the last one. I'm now 60. And still look back at myself only 5 years ago as being dumb and naive. I no doubt will in another 5 years. If I don't croak it in the meantime. This kid has got some serious shit infront of him. I'm honestly sitting on the fence as regards as to if he's "right" or "wrong". He's struggling to justify too much. He may not be able to continue the narrative as time goes by and he learns more. As indeed Willi himself has done. He's quite a different Willi in comparison to many moons ago. He's now seeing thing more clearly. Less ideologically, with less simplistic flag waving. The narrative will continue to crumble. It's a crying bloody shame. Far too many folk on both sides have, and are dying.

O damn, so the dude was in the Nazi battalion

It’s hard to find any sort of sympathy for people that fought for AZOV. In the azovstal plant there’s actually testimonies of the civilians that were trapped and used as human shields so the Russians would completely destroy the unit. There’s numerous war crimes they done against Russian POWs executions poking eyes balls out with forks humiliation torture list goes on.

The last thing a naive young man like this needs is a war to serve in as a mercenary. He was probably troubled before he joined in, now he has to reflect on doing terrible things without knowing why. Not what i was worrying about at 25 years old thankfully. Regardless, i wish him well despite his misconceptions.

Fighting as a volunteer for Ukraine is one thing, but joining a AZOV battalion??

I am a US Army Infantry veteran, but am one of the few who conscientiously objected when I figured out what an immoral and evil racket it all is in 2009. I left on my own terms, and on moral and ethical grounds. There are many of us during GWOT who did this and were administratively separated under honorable conditions. You could even call it refusal of orders or desertion and i would laughingly and proudly agree. . You're damn right I refused immoral and unlawful orders. What did you do? Kill or abet the killing of innocents and not even get rich for it? It was better than doing the wrong thing which is to serve an immoral and illegitimate authority, every day, all day, any time of day. I dont care what anyone calls it. I did the right thing. It's the proudest decision i ever made to face my company chain of command and the entire NCO gang at the age of 20 and insist to them dead in the eyes that i would never wear the uniform again regardless of any consequences, including jail or death or ridicule. When you make those sorts of decisions on your own terms and on moral and ethical grounds regardless of what anyone else thinks, you will be able to deal much better with any trauma and any inbound criticism of others, and you will come to terms with the truth you know deep down and most of all, you will feel free. You should always admit when you were wrong. I sincerely hope you find the best way for you to make it right, Justin. Dedicate your life to always doing the right thing and standing for truth in all times and places. That would be my suggestion.

This dude needs help. A lot of help.

Labeling your enemy with extreme slogans is a war strategy.

“I’m not ashamed of being a Neo-Nazi” lol ok kid

Fought side by side with the Azov Nazis. You made your country proud, mate 😫👍

And the funniest thing is, this guy had no business there! He absolutely didnt have to go. I cant feel empathy when this guy literally went there to kill Russians.

Theres no way this guy just openly defended the use of “pagan symbolism” nazi symbolism and bandera by saying theres missing context WHAT

1:10:37 where the guy tries to defend naughtyism. Disgusting. When Nazis were under trial, they used the excuse of “just following orders.” This guy went out of his way to volunteer for Azov. We will point our fingers at you, sir.

I’m no fan of Russia, but I have absolutely no empathy for Azov Nazi wannabes. This dude gives off creepy hater vibes.

Aside from all disagreements on perspectives about how the war is going I hope Justin can find peace and recovery and live his life as he wants it.

I feel sorry for this dude. Being a government stooge is not for the sensitive.

This interview is the closest corollary we have to watching a modern day waffen SS volunteer justify joining the SS and massacring Poles because the SS is “anti Russian” and they’re “fighting for freedom”. The amount of mental gymnastics here is staggering.

War criminal that went to war that has nothing to do with him

"War Permamently Changed me" No S### Shelock.! It's differnet when you don't fight guys with flip flops,and rusty Ak-47,Right Amirite.

Revoke his citizenship he fought with the nazi azov, his presence is an affront to our ww2 dead

Ah that little scratch in our souls we call guilt...

Hunting with this guy forget it.

What was it like fighting along side Nazis?

Ah azov, the racist guys who like to poke people’s eyes out while they are alive. Stunning bunch of people

Unfortunately, the people whom Justin killed in the war won't be seeing any sunrises or smelling flowers or hugging puppies. But He will be down at the pub telling war stories and weeping into his beer.

He fought with the Azov battalion? Now he's complaining about ptsd. He volunteered for this. Take your porridge.

The guy justifies the Nazis' involvement in the war on the side of the Good Guys by saying that they are doing a good thing. If the Nazis are fighting with someone you don't like, then everything is ok. In fact, his opinion coincides with the opinion of the government: to spend the Nazis in order to bleed the Russians. But instead of being so verbose in his search for excuses, he should simply say “I was stupid, I was deceived, I did something stupid.”

he give me a " I dont know what the gun is called i just know the sound it makes when it takes a mans life" vibe

"Mate". That's not would I would call anyone fighting in a N@zi battalion

He is still trying to justify his involvement and can't admit his error......he fought for N4ZIS.

We didn’t get a Good day Mates

I think this guy is hiding his true beliefs about how far right he is, he could have just joined the foreign legion but he chose the azov battalion for a reason he isn’t being truthful about imo

hardcore nationalism is an easy word for the Nazis, in Azov. It's funny how a guest tries to get around this. And he simply says that Azov simply forced people to go into battle like well-known barrier troops, sounds like “Russian propaganda” ))

Will you tell you're kids you fought for the nazis?

I can’t watch any more of this self pity CRAP , city boy goes to war , spends the rest of his life whinging .

If he’s Azov, why isn’t he still fighting?

The guy knew who Bandera was and he still joined Azov Battalion. That makes sense.

Young kid goes to war because he is unhappy in life and has no direction. He's crying for attention. Comes back, now has PTSD. Well, no shit sherlock. He made his bed and now he has to sleep in it. If his true intentions were to help, he would still be there alive or dead. Not back in his comfy home telling his story at bars. **EDIT** Thank you for the thumbs up. Any vet or even non vet with a sound mind would understand what I am saying. I praise the journalism, but this kid is not one to be praised for anything. Hope the war ends fast. God bless.

These are not heroes

A guy who was a member of a nazi unit? One that committed war crimes since 2014? Nah, I'm skipping this one, you should be ashamed.

He traveled thousands of miles to kill people who had been in that land for more than 1000 years. Now he goes on podcasts to tell us of his trauma. What about the trauma of the people you helped kill???

Lots of people (particularly young men including myself) romanticize war in their minds. We want the action and we have an idea of how we think we would react and perform in those situations. Then I hear an interview like this and am instantly reminded of not only how terrible war is, but how it never leaves you. Your day-to-day activities and thought processes will never be the same. I think a big reason armies are having a harder time recruiting these days is because more and more people understand what the real effects of being in combat are and how it changes you forever.

Please don’t tell me this kid is writing a book… He has been spitting fake ‘poor me’ self help bullshit for the past 90 minutes. He’s the last person that should be giving anyone advise. He needs therapy, not a book deal…

Hey! Azov is those guys with the really cool lightning bolt tattoos!

so nato proxy wars suck ..... let's go brandon

He has a few candid moments, but overall it seems like he’s trying to overcompensate by trying to be philosophical, or have deep intuitions when you can tell hes just masking his sadness and despair its written all over his face and cracking voice

The saddest comment this young man made was that he thinks he will be remembered in history. Many a young men have gone to their deaths on the battlefield since wars began. And those were ppl fighting in their own country’s uniforms. I’ve lost friends in war. No one remembers them but me, they are not even a footnote in history. This guy will grow up.

Bro, u were not embedded with Russia, how do u know how they treat the civilians?

This guy seems like a future Timothy McVeigh

Fighting to serve others interest as a puppet for me is foolishness.

No discussion about Boris Johnson and his contribution in 2022? Why can't Ukraine be a neutral buffer state, like Austria was for 50 years?

I've had to listen to this over 4 sessions as I can't take it in one sitting. The longer I listen to this war criminal, and the futher in to the interview we get, the more sick he makes me feel.

Are We suppose to cry for the Nazi

The only thing i could get from this interview is how broken this guy is. find some help. Breakup with your abusive nazy girlfriend

Sorry to say this, but this kid was delusional, and still is delusional. He got what he asked for. I have pity for him. He ruined his own life. He even chose to fight for avowed NAZI'S. I pray he finds peace. God is merciful. Much more merciful than he was.

A year after the first interview with Justin it is intriguing to see how he has reconstructed the ego that was shattered by his war experiences. It is clearly an ongoing process.

It's amazing that this individual dislikes death so much, yet is quite at ease in taking life from others. When you choose to go to the war zone, don't complain about the trauma you suffer.

He thought war was sexy and now he is mind fu---ed.

A lot of Vets like myself like to bitch about the VA, but I have to say, it would be harder without them. I know the same is true when it comes to the VFW and other groups, I never wanted to join them, I'm just not a joiner, but they for sure help people. He won't be getting VA help or the comradery that comes from the VFW. That's another good reason to not run off and join foreign wars, when you don't have to. I'm not saying I was brighter than him at that age either, just that I got "lucky" in regards to the fact that I was dumb and joined the US infantry, not AZOV. (some of my friends were smart and joined the Air Force, think of it that way, it's a matter of degrees) If you join and see combat, it's likely you WILL be fucked up to some extent for the rest of your life. At the very least you will be "different", so you need to have "insurance", that's what the VA and VFW are. When I was young I had no idea why people would actually choose to buy insurance. Young people are bulletproof after all, or at least most think they are. He's right about the petty shit that the average American caring about seeming stupid. Who gives a fuck about 99% of the things the average spoiled American does, right? And at least he's still trying to have a social life and carry on, I personally couldn't do that without way too much booze in my system. I found that I was better off just forgetting about doing half the stuff I used to enjoy and really dial down my friends, to the ones who understood why I couldn't enjoy a lot of things I used to. (Hunting is a big one, I can hunt, just not with other people, which is a drag.) I'd suggest that you try not to feel guilty if you don't want to do stuff anymore, same with feeling guilty about not being able to do a lot of stuff. Figure out what you CAN do and what you CAN enjoy and be happy that there are things left that bring enjoyment. Don't dwell too much over what you can't do, as we get older a lot of that stuff becomes less important anyway. I see a lot of people judging this young man harshly, but trust me when I say that this could have happened to a lot of people here, if life had taken them to the same place in life he was. (If you tell me you were never young and dumb you are lying) Same thing goes for all us veterans. But for the grace of god, it could have been you. I think about this one from my family history, My grandfather came from Russian my Grandmother was from Galicia. Given different circumstances, I could have ended up on either side of this war. It's likely I have distant relatives fighting on both sides right now, which is why I want this war to end and don't much care which side "wins". Nobody really wins a war and peace never comes a day too soon.

Dudes out of his mind

Azov is really the EU 4th Reich ss division experiment, Azov have few hundreds "international volunteers" but it's not too much speak for obvious reasons ahahaha.

It's pitiful that a young man seeking adventure in war will be haunted with a ruined life due to his own ignorance. It proves the axiom be careful what you wish for.

Omg this dramatic war tourist drama queen is dramatic, says lots of words but isnt saying shit.

Almost 2 hours of bullshitting

This guy has 'main character' vibes. He thought he was Tugg Speedman in Tropic Thunder, but shit got real. Unfortunately, no Academy Award, fake or otherwise.

It's a shame Justin is still so completely ignorant of the history of the conflict, and what the fascist government of Ukraine did and is still doing to the Russian people. Thousands of Russian civilians were killed in the Donbass, by the Azov and their ilk, prior to the Russian invasion. You fought for the bad guys mate.

The guy said PTSD isnt flashbacks....but then goes on to describe having legitimate flashbacks ...so ptsd is flashbacks...

You know a few of thes people you interview found out that they was just a war tourist and found out it wasn't for them and they chise to leave because they didn't have to stay and fight because it wasn't their country. Basically some of them did go for the right reasons. They went because they wanted adventure and got a lit bit to much adventure. More than they could handle, but this guy went for the right reasons. He should realy listen to the therapists and do all the trigger exercises that they recommend. They may not seem like they do anything but as you progress they will help.

PTSD is basically not a thing when you’re the one defending you’re home and seems to effect those who are go half way across the world to fight people in their own country who are most effected by ptsd. Must be the guilt

A nice “ideologically motivated” fellow you have here. Does he have any interesting Hindu or rune tattoos?

MF’er looks like something out of the German Waffen SS of WW II

This dude is a mental patient and already was before the war. Like all mercenaries. Which are no different than the members of Murder Inc.

this guy obviously hasnt grown out of his edgy phase, i am the hero, i can feel it in my bones aaaaaa~

After joining the SS AZOV battalion you might get a stand innovation by the Canadian parlament.

"...me being Norse pagan, myself..." Dude. Come on, dude. Jesus Christ.

So y'all actually thought u were at war in Afghanistan? Wow

The UN Charter, in Articles 106 and 107, gives the right to the winners of the Second World War - the USSR, the USA, Great Britain and China - to apply all measures against the countries that fought against them to prevent actions aimed at revising the results of the Second World War. In particular, it is possible to use military force against these countries. To do this, it is enough to notify the other three winning countries, but not to get their consent. Forceful coercion of countries that want to revise the Yalta-Potsdam system in Europe can also be carried out by Russia, which is the legal successor of the USSR. Russia can stop attempts to revive Nazism in Germany, Hungary, Romania, Austria, Bulgaria, Finland, Croatia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy, Spain, Norway, Denmark, Holland, Japan. Articles 106 and 107 of the UN Charter also apply to all those countries that refuse to inherit from the USSR - Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania. Their attitude that there was a Soviet occupation and the treaties of Friendship and cooperation concluded by them with the Third Reich move these countries into the ranks of the Hitlerite coalition. The same position is taken by modern Ukraine, which accepts as its predecessor the military-political formations of the OUN-UPA, created by Ukrainian fascists. Proves that all these post-Soviet republics belong to the Hitlerite coalition. Hence the possibility of revising the territorial acquisitions of countries that position themselves as supporters of the Hitlerite coalition. Plus SPONSORS OF the Nazi regimes (USA and Britain)

dont let this guy have pets, he'll let them die before taking them to hospital

This discussion about Azov should not be abstract. If its simply a matter of questionable tattoos and edgy music, then that is one thing. The real question, however, is whether these ideological soldiers commit war crimes, and have they been driving the conflict by terrorizing the local, ethnically Russian population?

The “E’s” silent 😂😂😂😂 Niche 😂😂😂

This poor kid. It seems he found himself in a foreign war and immediately wanted out, but felt he couldn’t escape for fear of his fellow soldiers. He’s got to try to ration with why he fought for a f’ed up country in f’ed up foreign war. It makes me angry at our gov for creating this conflict and our media for selling it on a lie. I wish him all the best and to keep close to family for support.

The Azov Battalion? Really? Unfortunately he will have to live with this the rest of his life. I truly hope he can get his life together since living a stable life will be a challenge for him. He definitely needs some serious therapy.

When he talks about those Ukrainian soldiers that did not want to fight and were beaten....I can't help to think that famous video of the guy smoking a cigarette and gun downed, is more likely a Ukrainian that was done with fighting and executed. Then blamed on the Russians.

The guy, by his own admission, is a Nazi. He went on to fight for the Azov Nazis. However I'm glad he put it all out there for us and exposed Azov for what they are.

This guy lost it at first movement he joined Banderas Nazi battalion . That’s Willy that you advertising for him . Hopefully Russian secret service gives him some therapy .

I have very limited military experience, joined at 16, 3 years training, no combat, but it set me up for life for the one reason you talk about. It taught me to understand my own limits and be confident in dealing with difficult and stressful situations and to bounce back from losses, which inevitably happen in life. In my professional experience this is an essential trait for executives and the military train it the best. Vets are highly sought after in the consulting industry for this reason (not this reason alone, but I would argue likely one of the biggest contributing factors) and can be extremely valuable in any managerial/executive position. This is extremely undervalued in the general job market, but every company needs determined people, who can make decisions under pressure and can get shit done.

The cat part got me. As a teenager i rescued a dog in Greece in the summer, we spent the whole summer together but i couldn't bring him back because of paperwork so i left her with a friend i met there. A few months later we lost contact. Until this day 10 yrs and counting i haven't heard from him and I've tried my best. So i lost to friends. I still miss luna my dog.

I want to see his Azov tattoos😂

Him trying to justify Azov and all its ideologies. He definitely has Azov Stockholm syndrome.

Justin Thank You. Your Honesty, your Courage are to be admired. You are an Incredible Man. Our politicians could learn so much from you. If only they would listen. I wish for you the best things that life has to offer. May the future bring you healing and peace.

The FSB have a long memory, his life expectancy will be adjusted to suit

Is he transitioning to woman?

The soul often finds guilt in our actions. We then express that through trauma. This kid is like a lot of vets who fought for unjust reasons, they are in an eternal fight to justify what they did and fought for while, knowing they deep down inside it was unjust. I say this as a vet from Iraq. When I came to terms with how wasteful and misused were are as soldiers, I then was able to come to terms with my own actions and realize there is a karmic debt owed. Meditate, pray, talk to someone, but seek help. Other vets are helpful, we understand and can help decompress the physical side, but the spiritual and emotional side has to be fought through time, many don't win that battle.
