Partisan activity generally doesn't work out for the partisans.
Isn’t poisoning a war crime?
I think I would have preferred the Ukrainians make prisoners of war out of them and turn them over to their Army.
Poisoning soldiers morally is akin to Auschwitz Gas Chambers for women and children as far as I am concerned. Or babies in ovens.
It is a chemical weapon.
But there is no point in noting this. FR should forbid any posts from Newsweek. They are profoundly anti conservative.
Dude, its a war.
Oh crap that’s horrible. These are probably grunts, not the upper echelon. Maybe 18-year olds.
That’s what I thought.
Stalin did poison the wells at Stalingrad and when German soldiers gave bread to Russian kids to get water from the Volga, Russian snipers shot the children from across the river.
“Dude, its a war.”
Yeah, let’s bomb their orphanages to demoralize them!
The Geneva convention doesn’t address asymetric warfare.
Not This August, by Cyril M. Kornbluth:
As he watched, the rear fly of the tent was pulled, folded, and hurled aboard the mess truck; the tent was disintegrating from the rear under the practiced attack of the cooks. Gribble drifted among them, among the three boilers of tea in reserve, despite their warning shouts. When they were all struggling with a big side fly, he impartially sweetened the boilers of tea with white powder from his pockets.
He had morbidly asked about it and learned that the stuff was arsenious trioxide, procured from the remelt shop of Corning Glass.
...
It ended with a tremendous padded blow on the back of his neck, which was all he felt of the lieutenant’s pistol bullet destroying his brain. He never knew hundreds of [Soviet] soldiers squirming themselves settled in the trucks were at that very moment complaining about food as soldiers always do; they said their tea was too sweet.
By any means necessary.
Down in kak-a-lacky during the late 70’ there was this amateur moonshiner making hootch in galvanized trash cans. The alcohol reacted with galvanized coating and people were going blind.
I had a friend who kept bugging me to get moonshine for his infamous BBQs which were large affairs... I didn’t even scout up some shine...no way, it was too iffy... then one day I found some legal shine (guaranteed to be less than 30 days old) at a liquor store, took a couple of gallons home removed the labels off of the mason jars and took them up for the next BBQ. It went over great, I “came through” they loved it. It was weird. IMHO Grain was better and easily obtainable at the liquor store too.
“Yeah, let’s bomb their orphanages to demoralize them!”
You mean like the brave Ruzzians do?
“Crimea Combat Seagulls” said in a post to Telegram...
Must be true then.
The Putin will HAVE to surrender Crimea, Melitopol and Mariupol.
Please go read what the Russians did in Bucha, then come back and try that again.
These were active duty soldiers with orders to kill the people (probably officially civilians) that killed them first with poison.
alleged... claimed... Remember the Newsweek story pushing the DJT hired Ruskie hookers lie.
One would have to be an idiot to believe anything that rag publishes.
