Russia’s forces are arresting elected local leaders and seeking to replace them with Kremlin collaborators

ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine — Russian forces are killing civilians and looting stores and homes across occupied parts of southern Ukraine, residents said, as Moscow arrested elected local leaders and sought to replace them with pro-Russian collaborators.

People arriving here from Russian-held areas over the weekend described hungry and undisciplined Russian troops shooting unarmed villagers, breaking into supermarkets and shops, and raiding homes in search of food and valuables as their own supply lines have failed.

Sherman did in fact destroy infrastructure in the South, even when the targets were not that essential. He ordered his troops to treat civilians well and not to destroy anything not needed by the Confederates. Many of his troops raped, pillaged, and destroyed anyway.

The point is that even though it is against command policy in many armies to cause collateral damage, individual troops or units become animals at times. The fog of war hides it all.

The TechnoDicktaters are deleting them as fast as they're being posted...

Translation: I have no time for facts or proof when I can just scream “It’s a CONSPIRACY!” and get back fanboying after hunky fictional movie characters.

BTW I’ve had them disappear in the middle of grabbing them. Our Government has fully funded group that works with the tech giants to scrub anything supporting Russia and or reports unless they allow. (Nuland mentioned in Congressional hearing)...And they’re running hot and heavy in this war.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.  winking face

Berlin March 1945.

Oh, sorry - I misunderstood why you felt the need to bring up a fictional character. I assumed you were all gooey for him.

What was your post about again? Something about making s**t up to prove a point?

“Otherwise I’m supposed to believe these stories based on faith?”

Or, you can believe history, if you choose to. The Russians have a solid record of war atrocities. All Asians have.

“They went too easy on Berlin.”

In 1945? Hardly.

I asked one of them earlier today if he saw no connection at all between the sanctions against the Canadian truckers three weeks ago and the sanctions against the Russian people now.

Yeppers. Absolutely NO connection.

Pay no attention to the exact same method, being cheered on by the exact same crowd of Trump-hating, MAGA-hating liberal bluechecks on Twitter.

CRUSH the truckers! We stand with Ukraine!

“Are the Russians doing it, or their Muslim mercenaries??”

The law of agency. Your agents act on your behalf; thus, your agent’s actions are your actions. So, it doesn’t really matter if the Russians are doing it or their agents are doing it. Same same.

Regardless of whether one can believe the photos/videos, I skimmed through that video which gives what seems to be good reporting on where the various actions are taking place on the map.

Lots of various fronts of attacks - ranging from small discrete zones (port cities) to scattered lines. Would seem to be hard to defend against wondering where one should concentrate the defense. Even harder to supply the offensive forces.
