The 13 men were brave and they did the FU, I don’t know why that bothers you to this degree.
This was the first day of the invasion and a very dramatic event to a peaceful nation the fact the men survived is good.

Here is some Russian propaganda about that event.
MOSCOW, February 26. /TASS/.
“”On the evening of February 25, during the evacuation of 82 Ukrainian troops who had voluntarily laid down their arms on Snake Island, 16 boats belonging to the Ukrainian Navy tried to attack the ships of the Black Sea Fleet by using swarming tactics, “ Konashenkov said adding that some of the boats used civilian vessels as shields.

“As a result of the naval battles, 16 boats of the Ukrainian Navy were destroyed. None of the 82 Ukrainian troops from Snake Island were injured,” he added.”

In one post you say communication was lost, then in another you say the soldiers did give the Russians the “FU”, which is it, even you contradict yourself over the propaganda.

The reason is bothers me is obvious, maybe you can’t see it, but both sides are putting out industrial strength propaganda and the USA is escalating the situation on a daily basis, the idea that we could get pulled into a war with Russia over Ukraine is insane, I feel bad for Ukraine but I really don’t give a crap about what happens to them, I am tired of needless wars and this will be a totally needless war if we get drawn into it.

With all the problems we have in our country the last thing we need is a demented President getting us into another pointless war, this time with a nuclear armed nation.

Obviously, the propaganda is working on a lot of people who are distracted by the shiny object in Ukraine and missing all the other issues that directly affect our country.
