Meanwhile on the US border with Mexico......
putin is still evil
May it come back to bite him!
Big Explosions In Odessa | The Defeat Of The Ukrainians Near Arkhanhelske. Military Summary 2024.5.2
I’m not qualified to pass judgement because I wasn’t there. What I am qualified to say is that sometimes you can’t take prisoners.
Sure they did.
Like I am going to believe anything the “Human Rights Watch” is going to say.
Remember when the ukrainians killed surrendering russians and the zeepers said “orcs deserved it”?
I do.
They’ve found mass graves of civilians in towns the Russians abandoned at the beginning of the war. Why would they abide by the laws of war when it comes to soldiers?
Ukraine trying to discourage their troops from not surrendering.
😂
Pictures and video posted online showed flames and billowing clouds of smoke engulfing buildings and firefighters training their hoses on areas still ablaze. Most of the loading area appeared to have been reduced to a shell.
Russia has been advertising its "Volga" surrender radio-channel to all Ukrainians on the front lines. Its impossible to know real numbers, but basis recent media references, it may be increasingly effective.
So yours is the best explanation, especially given that this war is as much a propaganda war as anything
So do I.
Amazing how it’s literally the same thing, and somehow I must be appalled by this one but not the other one or I get called a “putin stooge” or told I must secretly be a Russian.
Meanwhile it still somehow costs me money, and we’re stupidly involved in it.
They don’t take Azov troops prisoner anymore. The ones they did and released are back on the battlefield. They were informed if they were caught again they would be executed.
It’s standard practice in war. Been that way since we started making rules in war.
Wtfu.
>So yours is the best explanation, especially given that this war is as much a propaganda war as anything
Yeah, better to surrender, spend a few months in Russia before being released, then to be splattered all over a trench. This is the third Ukrainian mobilization, and many of these people do not want to be there.
> sometimes you can’t take prisoners. <
A friend of the family served with the US Army in Italy during WW2. During a battle in early 1945 his unit captured a large number of Germans. To escort them all back to a prison camp meant leaving his unit weaker and the flank of the next unit over unguarded.
Those Germans never did make it to a prison camp, if you get my drift.
That story greatly bothers me to this day. Was it a war crime? I would think so. But I wasn’t there. So all I can do is quote Gen. Sherman. War is hell.
Ukraine does the same.
Try focusing on something other than that stupid proxy war. You Zeepers are obsessed with it.
“ They’ve found mass graves of civilians in towns the Russians abandoned at the beginning of the war. Why would they abide by the laws of war when it comes to soldiers?”

Any corpses of bayoneted Ukrainian babies? Come on, Ukraine and their “advisors” are pretty good at propaganda but surely they can still up their game.
Meanwhile, when thousands of black Christians in Nigeria get slaughtered by Islamist, no one cares.
Why do Ukraine soldiers take higher priority to young Christian girls? Why haven’t you uploaded any articles about that?
