I hate headlines that end with a disclaimer, such as “Ukraine claims”. After one’s brain has already taken in something that seems like a fact, it’s shown that it’s just an opinion. Such headlines should have to start with “Ukraine claims:”

It was reported a few weeks ago (Daily Mail, I think) that there was an exchange of several hundred POW’s each between Ukraine and Russia. The photos didn’t show signs of torture or mistreatment.

My remark was more in general, while there has been torture, right now the POW situation is manageable and abuses are limited, but in a major war of large POW numbers or if Russia totally loses interest in world opinion then I would not like to be facing years of imprisonment as a POW somewhere in Russia.

The Zeepers have run out of propaganda so they are settling for this kind of nonsense to try and stay relevant.

Yes, they seem to have gotten even more unhinged over the past month.

On the positive side, Zeepers haven’t reported Putin died all year!

Just my opinion…

NATO wants war with Russia.
They will continue to provoke war, including a horrific false flag.
Zeepers will cheer, automatically blame Russia, and continue to cry out for blood.
The world will be engulfed in a 3-4 front war against a coalition of enemies we forced together and cannot beat.
Not a single Zeeper will serve in Ukraine in uniform.

In short, some Zeepers are not critical thinkers and some are likely paid.

They will never change.

“Russia isn’t really known as a POW-friendly military to surrender to.”

I was on a kick awhile ago listening to old WWII stories. Read from first account biographies. One German soldier recounted stories of being a Russian POW.

IIRC he didn’t leave the slave camp until 1953 or something crazy. The Soviets said his labor was for “reparations”. His sister, most of her kids and his parents died as well in the camps after his town had been taken during the war.

In any case , this is a slow bleed for Russia, it’s been 2 “years of a 2 week war. Lol

If Russia think they will go after Sweden , Poland or other Baltic countries then good luck because it’s all a numbers game

Russia doesn’t have the numbers and will hemorrhage and will eventually fail

Bleed bleed bleed”

Exactly, and that’s why they’re not going to try to attack any other NATO countries like people here are talking about.

This cannot be true. Moscovia troops do not need food or drinking water in the winter - they just eat snow - solving both problems in one go.
