Cowards and traitors who desert during battle deserve death. What am I missing?
WTF.
Not a Putin fan-guy, but is this right under the article about space aliens buying sneakers at Wal-Mart? Or, on page 2 next to the story about the woman who had an affair with Bigfoot?
I do not believe anything about this war coming from almost any media source.
Russia’s playbook is always the same. The Soviets executed more of their own troops in 1941-42 than we lost in Vietnam.
This is news? I thought it was par-for-the-course when it came to Russian warfare.
‘allegedly’
That means it’s made up.
I don’t believe a thing The Sun prints.
It’s the only way they stopped the Germans.
News reporting has reached new lows with this war.
Snicker, that’s a good one. Let’s see how many brainiacs jump on this one. This silliness is surely a bridge too far for most of even the densest media stooges.
Like it or not, being shot is always a possibility if you are a deserter
I’m not scoffing at the possiblility. Seems anyone in Russia at or over the age of military service would know how Putin’s role as supreme leader has been so far. Perhaps the disappearance of one’s entire family serves as a caution. They already have seen him in action.
“There have also been reports of Chechen special forces being sent in to stop Russian soldiers fleeing the war, according to the Daily Mail.”
If that is true, then it will not go down very well with the Russian people — or troops. The Russian troops just might start fighting the Chechens special forces.
If this is true — and I emphasize IF — it is what the Soviets did during WWII.
In time of war US Military still has harsh if not capital penalties attached to desertion.
Not sure what I’m expecting from a dictator.
Stalin also starved the Ukrainians
Why would anyone consider "Ukrainian security services" to be a credible source of information?
This country whose President has imprisoned opposition leaders, shutdown media outlets he disagrees with, and ban or suspended all opposition political parties.
Vlogger Gonzalo Lira, who is in Ukraine, has reported the same "security services" have tried hunt him down for negative reports about the war. He's said he is fear for his life.
And, this the same country whose military fights side-by-side with the open neo-Nazi Azov battalion.
This fantasy that Ukraine is a democracy and its government is noble is laughable.
The killings will continue until morale improves.
Putin is channeling Stalin.
Gosh he really sounds awful.
I bet the liberal media is telling us the truth this time too.
Really would like to see the order written. Or is this just crap from our government?
