Let me get this straight. They invade the Ukraine in an war of naked agression, but think they can say who is or is not a legal combatant?

Mercs usually get the short end of the stick. Going to fight for the courageous Ukrainian forces probably look better on paper

The Republics of Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea are implementing the death penalty for the mercenaries. They didn’t invade Ukraine, they seceded.

It’s true that Soros beat Russia in 2014 coup.

But being a sire loser doesnt excuse Russia from invading the Ukraine.

It is true that two or three nations have recognized the “breakaway republics.”

I think North Korea did.

“Abandoned by the UK and West.”

If they truly were mercs then they were on their own, and not representing their government. So, they were not “abandoned.”

I suppose there is the slim hope they will be exchanged in some fashion.

These two have been living in Ukraine for years. They are not just “Brits”

Brave men. Zelensky should have their names carved at the base of the gay porn memorial in Odessa. May their cause never be forgotten.

George Orwell was a Brit who fought in Spain. After reading Homage to Catalonia I wondered just what he was doing there. Almost got killed. There would not have been a 1984.

Yes, because they CAN.

The UK, US, and NATO WON"T get them pardoned, commuted, released or exchanged because they are too arrogant to even contact LPR authorities and they CAN'T use any other method.

But then, there are thousands in Afghanistan who are familiar with that cowardice.

World opinion? The same folks that overthrew Ukraine Democracy in 2014? The same folks implementing the Great Reset?

Russian actions in this war have been unethical, but not totally unpredictable. They are not executing them because it’s the right thing to do, but because they hope to discourage other would be mercenaries from joining the fight.

Yeah, I remember when so many courageous Western Nations recognized the "Breakaway Republic" of Kosovo when NATO bombed defenseless Christian Serbs in submission while installing Islamic Terrorist Rule in Kosovo.

Why omnipotent NATO could just bomb LPR and DPR into submission and force the release of these two overnight.

...

Except they CAN'T, this time.
