I think that would be considered a war crime?

Russian rock is bad enough to kill. By itself.

Moral has already been taken care of by vodka.

They could play the 1812 Overture and imagine the sounds of cannons is missiles raining on Ukrainian power stations and civilian areas.

The bloodthirsty douchebags are the people cheering russia’s “liberation” (in actuality, destruction, mass murder, rape, torture and looting) of Ukraine. The more russain soldiers get killed, the quicker russia’s assault on Ukraine will come to an end. Do I feel sorry for some dumb, drunk vatnik from Omsk lying dead in a ditch in Kherson? Sure, but not nearly as much as I grieve for the hundreds of children that were murdered in the Mariulpol theater bombing (for just a single example among the tens of thousands of war crimes commited against innocent Ukrainians by russians in this war).

And let’s never forget Bob Hope - as far as I’m concerned, he was the catalyst for all such programs.

Say it ain’t so! Cranky got fragged? Where will I get my daily dose of unhinged fascist vitriol, my glimpse into an alternate reality where russia knows what it’s doing and is the good guy, my reminder not to do heavy drugs?

I was going to say NorseViking, which I believe to be a nom de mentir for a Russian disinfo group, but that poster's postings have dropped.

The band played while the Titanic was sinking didn’t help.

The Russians also sent MoD Shoigu, who toured the front lines near Bahkmut by helicopter.

Not sure which instrument he plays...

If they play items like the Russian National Anthem, it’s apt to put the soldiers to sleep.

Shoigu? He's a wind instrument guy, mostly blows hot air up putin's ass. And perhaps he was in a helicopter, but given how well russian helos fare in Ukrainian airspace, I very much doubt it was anywhere near Bakhmut...

Searching for the remains of Lieutenant Colonel Vyacheslav Zangieva, commander of a helicopter regiment, was shot down on October 31 near Bakhmut - "If you don’t find anything, then scoop the ashes inside the helicopter into a bag."

ALL WARS ARE A CLUSTER-FUCK—The side that makes the fewest mistakes wins. Its a horrible game humans play with terrible death and destruction from time to time. End the war!

You people are weak minded.

This has nothing to do with music performance.

The Wagner Private Military Company is embraced by the Russian military and considered part of it. Just as Blackwater was for the Pentagon.

Sending Wagner PMC troops to battle is called sending Musicians, because Wagner was a composer.

How can you people not know this?

Pushing Russia out of Ukraine will not end the war, that is a simple belief with no water—Lets see how that works.
1. What about all of the ethic Russian people who live in the East of Ukraine? Millions of people—are they to be pushed out too? Should they be forced to become Ukraine speakers? Should they be placed on reservations like we did to First Nation people? Or should they be killed in a horrible Genocide? Ukraine refuses to let them speak Russian Language or worship in Russian style churches.
2. What about the anti-democratic forces in a corrupt Ukraine. This is not propaganda but has existed for years in Ukraine. It is a corrupt Nation. In some ways they are worse than Russia in this regard. Should the west want to have such a land in their political structure. We see how Cartel dominated Mexico has corrupted the United States over the years. That could happen to Poland and Germany.
3. Ukraine has many problems—a victory over Russia will not solve them.

You believed the article. The writer got trolled, and you should have seen this.

Wagner PMC are called musicians and how did you not know this.
