On the other, what is that kid 14? So I suspect he was press ganged into this shit, which sucks. Or maybe he was a diehard Banderite in which case fuck em, idk.
Also can't judge a teen for having shit food taste cuz I wasn't much better.
I think he was Azov, captured by Russians towards the start of the war, got traded back to the Ukraine and then proceeded to return to the front lines and didn't get lucky a second time.
I've already conceded to you the comment was ill advised especially considering I hadn't done my research so idk why you don't just take the W here.
If you're that pissed off you can block me, or hell go ask the mods to ban me if you want. I don't really give a shit but I don't see this going anywhere productive.
It's also like one of those things nobody opposes. You see someone is upset. You see they want this. You don't feel like there's any real reason to oppose it if it helps them.
Yeah like with the whole IDF sperm extractions thing. A lot of that can be caulked up to settler colonialist race science brain so I was okay with people laughing at it, but part of me was also like "but grieving people say and do wacko shit sometimes". I wasn't exactly crying bitter tears for some Zionist but I also sorta get why someone would post something like that after getting that news.
Post? No I think you're mistaken. The sperm extractions are standard procedure. They weren't just posting something weird that shit is totally normalised.
The Ukrainian lines are collapsing and chaotic retreats are becoming the norm. This is your best shot in two years to either surrender to the Russians, escape to another country maybe, or die. If you choose to fallback to the next Ukrainian defensive line then you choose to be an obstacle in Russias way.
From what I understand the Russians treat their pows decently well. They follow protocol as outlined by the UN charter, so it’s not like they’re executing people outright or anything. The main thing is the Ukrainian army is in retreat and historically that is the point where you will see the highest casualty numbers because you are losing the cohesion needed to actually mount a defense. Not surrendering is essentially suicide at this point because you might live through one Russian breakthrough, but there is no guarantee you’ll make it through the next one or the one after that. It’s a long way to Odessa.
They do breach international law in that they often film/picture the captives or have them make statements, which I believe is prohibited. Ukraine does this as well.
Outside of that, we have seen prisoner exchanges and the POWs that Russia had don’t have any visible deformations. Apparently Ukraine was castrating and amputating their POWs early on, and the command was encouraging it
Neat! Honestly I kind of expected Russian authorities to be pretty fuckin rude in their handling of POWs given the uh, virulent prejudice against Russians coming out of Ukraine, so that's actually good to hear.
Ukrainians seem to be much more bigoted towards Russians than the reverse. Mostly due to western Ukraines adherence to Banderism and their political shift towards the collective west and pro NATO stances.
