The Soviet Union was not a party to the Geneva Conventions. Their Vietnam War ally, North Vietnam, was notorious for dragging captured American pilots before news cameras with the POWs issuing “confessions” coerced by torture.

“But why would the Russians promote such a story anyway? It makes no sense............”

Well, what evidence do you have that “The Russians” promoted this story?

I have yet to see any. I read a lot of sources and none of the Russians one believed this or shared this.

If some kiddo from slovenia post this why do people get to say “The Russians”

I noticed you yourself posted this story in another thread, and your source was a website called “Iamamalaysian”.

So are you claiming that “the russians” are promoting this without any evidence at all?

OK, so you admit there is no evidence whatsoever that the Russians believe or promote this, but you asked “WHY ARE THE RUSSIANS PROMOTING THIS” as if it is totally true that they are.

It seems to me that if it’s a positive for the Russian side, they or their allies, North Korea for example, are the source of the story possibly.

Whether or not it’s true is a different question.

And of course there’s always the possibility that it was a teenager in Bucharest with too much time on his hands................🤔

So that you don’t believe anything coming out of Ukraine.

I haven’t seen any sign that Russians believe or promote this.

How is it positive for them if it is readily proven false?

It is negative for them if it is laughably false.

So if this is negative for them, by your own logic it is done by Russia’s opponents to discredit them.

Unless you think your obscure source website for this claim, “iamamalaysian.com”, is hugely read and widely believed and promoted

It’s just one website that carried the story, one out of many. I had no particular reason to choose it over any of the others, since they were all essentially the same................

Wouldn't that violate the Geneva Conventions?

GC doesn't apply to foreign fighters...Russia made that clear a while ago.

"...you and a few other Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion commanders were captured..."

This dirtbag just called the General a Neo-Nazi and was not called out on it.

Frankly only a nut would believe this story. Amazes me that this is given any credence at all here.

Having a top US General on the front lines in Ukraine is about as plausible as old Joe picking up a rifle there himself. It make zero sense on all levels. An Embarrassingly silly story.
