NOT GOOD—Double UnGood! The mask is pulled from the “Brave Hero” Ukraine troops. This is a horror that will sow seeds of revenge and hate.
In the movie “The Dirty Dozen” Charles Bronson was facing a hanging for shooting a fleeing soldier, one of his own, to stop him from taking off with all the medical supplies. Lee Marvin sympathized with his reasoning but said “You let someone see you do it.”
With cellphones being everywhere today, someone’s always “gonna see you do it.”
This goes on in every war, by both sides, but just because it happens does not justify anything, let alone murdering POW’s.
My recollection of history brings up two occasions where certain events encouraged harder fighting for revenge. 1 being “Remember the Alamo!”. #2 was in WWII Battle Of The Bulge, where Germans were murdering Americans.
My point is, the Russians will not like this anymore than the Texans or the WWII Americans and will give them that little extra nudge to kill every Ukrainian they come across.
Zippy’s Russian hating crew had best get out of Dodge, for if and when the Russians win, they are toast. Like the Nazi’s of WWII, many will escape. But war criminals that do not escape will be strung up or shot on the spot as they try to flee.
Sadly, the Ukrainian pecker piano playing pervert will escape with his millions of laundered dollars to some mansion.
The peoples of greater Russia (the Ukraine, Byelorussia, and Russia) have always been brutal in times of war, and always will be.
It’s their way of life.
Europe’s putting pressure on Zelensky to surrender while America will have none of it.
This can NOT be...all my enemedia channels are telling me that the Ukrainians are fighting off the Russians with Coca-Cola, flowers, and overbearing hugs. They are not able to be angry, violent, or mean. They don’t want to even fight for their own freedoms, but they must. And I’m sure (according to our enemedia and too many gullible FReepers) all Ukrainians are purer than the virgin Mary before Jesus was born.
This must be some kind of mistake.
War crimes is a bs trick and no one should be tried for them. In war there are almost no rules and those that are are self interested. Slavs and hispanics generally don’t take prisoners. That is just a fact , the same with Arabs. It is the way of the world.
Taking prisoners requires using personnel to guard them and resources to feed and house them. Killing them frees up personnel and resources.
If you are the invaded party, it makes no sense to take prisoners.
This is a propaganda rewrite of a from four months ago. The source of the topwar.ru story story is TASS (link). TASS ran a story making claims about what a Western official/authority/expert said about alleged Ukrainian war crimes, without providing any links or context to who, what, when and where or links. Those are clues TASS is making things up. The TASS story is a plagiarized rewrite of this story: "Videos Suggest Captive Russian Soldiers Were Killed at Close Range" Nov 22, 2022, NYT, four months ago.
"We are aware of the videos, and we are looking into them,” Marta Hurtado, a spokeswoman for the U.N. Human Rights Office, told Reuters on Friday."The Friday in question was November 18, 2022. This was about the video where Russian soldiers were surrendering and one came from around a corner shooting. The Russian who opened fire committed perfidy, pretending to surrender which is a war crime. He and his comrades paid for it with their lives. Killing soldiers pretending to surrender is not the war crime, pretending to surrender is. The Japanese did this so much during WW-II, it was one of the reasons Allied soldiers did not take prisoners because it was too much of a risk to their own lives.
In the original stories from November, Hurtado did not affirm the videos were authentic, while acknowledging they existed and the UN was investigating. She also stated the UN was looking at accusations of war crimes on both sides. The allegations of Russian war crimes are much greater and have more evidence, like the mass graves at Izium found after the Kharkiv offensive. TASS purposely leaves details like that out of their reporting.
What TASS did is rewrite a story from four months ago, changed the context around, added bits of other stories, downplayed accusations of Russian war crimes, and treat it as if it is a new story. This is a common Russian state news propaganda technique.
Stories like this are for domestic propaganda purposes, not for international consumption. As bad as the Western news is, the Russian state media is always worse.
