Russia gives suspended sentence to soldier who admitted killing Ukrainian civilian. A Russian soldier who confessed to killing a civilian in Ukraine last year has been given a five-and-a-half-year suspended jail sentence by a military court in Russia's far east on charges of spreading “fake news” about the army.

I suppose a man that respects his military unlike the appointed leadership in the Pfentagon.
and your opinion on the treatment of the Haditha Marines?
Russian propogandist admits he cannot comment on Russian military withdrawal from Kherson, because if he criticizes it, he is liable under the Russian criminal code to be sentenced to 7 years for "publicly disrediting the Armed Forces". If he agrees with the withdrawal, then he would be also be liable for publicly calling for "Russia's territorial integrity to be violated" and would face 7 years in prison.
Russian Propagandist States He Cannot Comment on Russian Military As He would Face Jail Time
Right, we are no different than the Russians since we invaded Iraq for territorial expansion. Okay
What happens to a pressure cooker when you disable the safety valve? This is what will happen when governments make speech illegal.
IOW don’t spit on the sidewalk when Mobics are walking by
Well at least you discovered that Haditha involved Iraq. Nice work, champ.
Sure, justify Russian atrocities with whataboutism, champ
Hitler “respected his military” too
guess you admire him the same way you fawn over Putin, huh
He’s just copying us. Our gov didn’t pass any laws agaisnt criticism, but they did just go ahead and arrest 1000’s of people for being critical of the last election. They are still 8n prison, 2 years later FOR MISDEMEANORS!
putin is evil
“”I suppose a man that respects his military unlike the appointed leadership in the Pfentagon.””
What does that mean? That dictators that increase the penalty for saying something that can be perceived as negative about their military/military use from 5 years to 7 years are just good guys who respect their military?
That makes it sound as though we Americans should live under that respectful nicety.
While Western officials continue to cling to the delusional belief that Russia is making small progress, we have yet to see a single instance in the last six months of Ukraine pushing the Russians back on these points of attack. The reason is simple — Ukraine lacks the manpower, the ammunition supplies and the logistics to carry out such an operation.

Officials in the West and in Ukraine continue to insist that a counter-attack is coming. I have to assume this is a desperate psychological operation. I find it difficult to believe that responsible military leaders and planners would be publicly tipping their hand about what they intend to do and where they intend to strike. General Eisenhower and General Montgomery did not blather on in the press about their upcoming invasion in Normandy. They obfuscated their moves and made masterful use of deception. Ditto for Marshal Zhukov and General Konstantin Rokossovsky in their planning and execution of Operation Bagration.
I think the United States and its NATO partners are making a deadly mistake in underestimating Russian intelligence about the disposition and readiness of Ukrainian forces. What is clear is that the Russians are not saying anything about their plans for destroying the Ukrainian Army. But I am certain that such plans exist and are being executed according to a schedule dictated by Russ
Respect for one’s military doesn’t necessitate a particular form of rule

>> whataboutism
If you knew what Haditha concerned, doubtful you’d frame it that way.
That was as confusing as your other posts.
