'I'm a Former Marine Training Ukrainians—The Russians Are Worse Than ISIS'

I have completed tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, been involved in the evacuation of civilians from Libya in 2011 and commanded a special operations task force against the Islamic State (ISIS) in 2016...I have a greater respect for the ethical behavior of the Islamic State than I do for the Russians. That is no exaggeration.

Last time I checked, UkroNazis were kidnapping, torturing and killing dissidents like ISIS does.

I must have missed in that article where he describes exactly how the Russians are ‘worse than ISIS’. I didn’t see any specific examples. What did I miss?
The article seems mostly as a description why he was qualified to be over there and of his overall experience while assisting the Ukrainians. Good information, but not fully matching the headline.

Russian conduct is outrageous.

Let’s stop pretending.

This is Syria all over.

Too much emphasis on how he FEELS. Doesn’t sound technical. Ukrainians are better than us and u.k. soldiers cause they understand drones better....oh, yeah that’s gonna win the war....phony news...phony opinion...the UK’s are going to have to match the Russians.....right now the uks seem to be doing resistance type stuff..

Yeah there’s a reason the suicide rate is so high among vets.
War is hell and atrocities didn’t start in WWII either.
