NAFO Asia Pacific
NAFO Asia-Pacific Regiment was formed in August 2022. It has more than 180 members from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Philippines, Japan and the Americas, South Africa and Indonesia. The total number of Fellas, the name for members, in the world exceeds 85,000.
In December 2022, the NAFO Asia-Pacific Regiment held a ticket-busting campaign for the three day Russian Film Festival, booking EVERY TICKET. Russian Ambassador Pavlovsky was not laughing at all.
More recently our team booked 400 free and 80p tickets to George Galloway’s No2Nato Conference in London. And there’s our video “George Galloway: Peace Warrior or Russian Shill”.
Government Fellas
Do you know that our ambassador, Vasyl Myroshnychenko, and the Australian ambassador to Ukraine, Bruce Edwards, also support NAFO? Many Ukrainian ministers have their own Fella avatar, including the Minister of Defence Oleksiy Reznikov.
How do we do it?
We are a creative bunch of Fellas.
Our community uses memes as a means of combating Russian propaganda and disinformation. The power of memes is limitless. Nothing spoils the mood of propagandists like thousands of witty comments under their posts, which emphasize the absurdity of disinformation!
Since forming in August 2022 our team has made special purpose videos for Christmas, Lunar New Year and George Galloway.
We’ve also created NAFO themed Christmas and Valentine’s Day cards to send to your favourite Russian.
We also create parody accounts! Just because it’s fun! And because the Russian officials do not like being made the punchline of jokes.
