PS I never said I cared that the Ukrainians were not upholding the Geneva Convention just that they were not upholding it.
[[Ukrainians making Russians solderers eat the flag off their uniforms.]]
LOL- they should make them eat their own underwear too- just for good measure
Stalin did the same in WWII for soldiers in Battle of Leningrad........................
That’s hilarious, a new high in ridiculous propaganda. I bet you believe it, don’t you. I mean it’s on the internet and all.
“ That is how I told you all last week that Ukrainians were not upholding the Geneva Convention.”
LOL @ you for trying to make people feel sorry for Russian soldiers who are invading a country.
Re casualties, even the official Russian numbers are not good, if you take them at face value. Iraqi Freedom cost 173 American dead in 6 weeks. The Russian KIA count was 500 several days ago, a week after the invasion began. That is literally 18x the US rate on a weekly basis. And the Russians have (until Ukraine is pacified and absorbed) less than 1/2 the US population. In per capita terms, the Russians are taking roughly 40x the punishment per week that the US did in Iraq.
The US lost under 20 men a day in Vietnam. The Russians are losing 70 men a day in Ukraine. And that’s just the official Russian numbers. If you multiply by 2 to account for the usual Russian fiddling with numbers that gave Putin his $200b piggy bank ...
At minimum, morale might soon be a problem. Russians fought like demons in WWII for their lives. The Nazis literally wanted to kill them all:

Whereas other Russian wars have triggered mutinies.

Russian army committing a war crime, shooting at and destroying a civilian car driving down the road
Maybe.
But a lot of the stuff is fake.
They’ve used movie stills to show people supposedly evacuating. Video game stills to show fighting, video from earlier conflicts as if it is now.
Really we have little idea what’s actually happening.
I’m not sure what a good source is.
Sorry. Not buying this at all.
Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, spokesman for the Russian MoD, told media on Tuesday, Russian armed forces have destroyed 2581 military targets in Ukraine since the launch of the military operation on 24 February.
He also stated that 897 Ukrainian tanks and other armored vehicles, 95 multiple launch rocket systems, 336 field artillery systems and mortars, as well as 662 special military vehicles and 84 UAVs have been destroyed by Russian forces.
On Tuesday, Russian combat aircraft have destroyed 32 military targets in Ukraine, including four control facilities, three radar stations, two fuel dumps and 23 “areas of concentration of armaments and military hardware”.
And?
Russian Troops are doing what they do best , Looting
Wow, just like WWI.
“I told you all last week that Ukrainians were not upholding the Geneva Convention.”
Shooting civilians isn’t really following the conventions either. Nasty business all around it seems.
The usual fake news from Fake News Daily Mail?
Yup.
Daily Mail often sounds fake like this one
Point the gun at Putin.
Once ordinary citizens are forced to take up arms against an invading force, in my view you are way past any Geneva Convention.
It’s propaganda unless you name names. Surely the young soldier knows the name of his lieutenant. Surely he knows the place where this happened, and I don’t think anyone removed the bodies. Journalists used to care about confirming facts on the ground.
