BUCHA, Ukraine (AP) — There is a body in the basement of the abandoned yellow home at the end of the street, near the railroad tracks. The man is young, pale, a dried trickle of blood by his mouth, shot to death, and no one knows why the Russians brought him there, to a home that wasn’t his.
There is a pile of toys near the stairs to the basement. Plastic clothespins sway on an empty line under a cold, gray sky. They are all that’s left of normal on this blackened end of the street in Bucha, where tank treads lay stripped from charred vehicles, civilian cars are crushed, and ammunition boxes are stacked beside empty Russian military rations and liquor bottles.
The man in the basement is almost an afterthought, one more body in a town where death is abundant, but satisfactory explanations for it are not.
A resident, Mykola Babak, points out the man after pondering the scene in a small courtyard nearby. Three men lay there. One is missing an eye. On an old carpet near one body, someone has placed a handful of yellow flowers.
A dog paces by a wheelbarrow around the corner, agitated. The wheelbarrow holds the body of another dog. It has been shot, too.
Babak stands, a cigarette in one hand, a plastic bag of cat food in the other.
“I’m very calm today,” he says. “I shaved for the first time.”
At the beginning of their monthlong occupation of Bucha, he said, the Russians kept pretty much to themselves, focused on forward progress. When that stalled, they went house to house looking for young men, sometimes taking documents and phones. Ukrainian resistance seemed to be wearing on them. The Russians seemed angrier, more impulsive. Sometimes they seemed drunk.

[Americans should be careful about throwing this label around; while Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos may be past an imaginary “statute of limitations”, plenty of people in our government today were involved in killing far more civilians in Serbia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.]

Russians and Ukies are both considered slavic. And there are slavs who are Christian and not orthodox. Get your facts rights before spewing your CCP crap.
And thanks China for the wonderful laboratory-made virus that Americans funded that you unleashed on the world. Up yours.
You know nothing of the Russian and Ukrainian relationship. You parrot the MSM.
This is why you're a fool, with no creds whatsoever.
People know "Travis" and who he is in real life. Same with me and others. I can find Travis and go sailing with him if I wanted. YOU should read his books, instead of NPR.
OTOH, literally NOBODY knows you, and fkrs like you, who run in here obsessing and binge-posting every available pile of trash available re: the Uke $***hole.
That's why you're called mystery meat.
He’s just trying to earn a living. Under 20 other screen names he’s doing the same thing on different accounts, from real estate scams to live online porn. It’s just a job. Everybody’s got to earn a living.

And now this..
Kremlin has blasted the ‘neo-Nazi regime’ against Baltic https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10703253/Kremlin-rants-against-Baltic-neo-Nazi-state-chilling-echo-Moscows-threats-Ukraine.html?ito=native_share_article-masthead
“The history we learned was, “Those Japanese just refused to surrender, darn it! That’s why 99% of them died.””
Well, the Japanese army back in WWII (and before that, actually), thought surrender was a supreme insult to the emperor, and they considered surrender as not only cowardly, but dishonorable.
The Field Service Code issued by General Tojo in 1941 put it more explicitly: Do not live in shame as a prisoner. Die, and leave no ignominious crime behind you.
My research, though incomplete, shows that a White person is murdered by a black, in the US, every 6 hours or less.
But but all those Ukrainian grand-ma’s were making Molotov cocktails to kill invading Russian soldiers! They were praised 24-7 by the media for bravery and patriotism. I saw that with my own eyes on TeeVee.
But then the soldiers are at fault for killing the killers?
Good ‘ol NPR.
No way was an active duty U.S. military officer in Mariupol. That’s a fantasy. But I would not rule out US, UK or French “advisors” who were “former specops” and are now “civilian contractors” (wink wink).
Doubtful if there are any pockets of Ukraine Azov Nazis left in Mariupol in the steel works. Doubtful.
Any foreigner “advisors” were probably killed by their Uke handlers and blown up/burnt, to prevent their very embarrassing captures or even body recovery.
Folks who will fire their own obsolete Ukrainian Scarab-U cluster bomb missiles into downtown civilian Donetsk (March) or the train station false flag (April) will not hesitate to eliminate potentially embarrassing “advisors.”
But it cannot be ruled out that some have been captured by the Russians. These must be nervous times in Langley, Whitehall, etc, waiting to see who appears on camera.
I actually indulged you and read that.
Is English your second language?
My father in law was a USMC radioman on Iwo Jima. Many many of his friends died in next foxholes/shell holes. He said they did not take prisoners. It was a very luck Jap who wound up alive, by fate or happenstance. He told this to me from his own lips.
5th MarDiv, landed on D-day, saw the raised flag on Suribachi with his own eyes, went the distance.
Your turn, based on “your recollection.”
