But But AZOV!!!
Zelensky did it as well: https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-releases-prisoners-combat-experience-war-russia-volodymyr-zelensky-1683175
The worst thing possible for civilians in a war zone is for the rapists, child molesters, murderers, and robbers to move into their city, with uniforms and guns and full authority to act out their wildest dreams and fantasies, and pathologies.
A true nightmare world.
The U.S. 4th Armored Division, “Hell on Wheels”, the spearhead of Patton’s Third Army, was extremely aggressive, and German soldiers knew it. Since Nazi propaganda had tried to characterize Americans as negrofied and jewified, lazy hedonists, they had to come up with an explanation. The Erklarung was simple, to the point of simple-minded: The Fourth was comprised of gangsters from Chicago.
The recruiting video shows that the terms and conditions of this deal are made clear to the prisoners - they can’t say they didn’t know what they were getting into.
The men will fight as Wagners and become eligible for full pardons after serving six months on the front lines.
For those facing long sentences of hard time in Russian prison this may be appealing.
A real life “Dirty Dozen” type scenario.
probably the only smart thing Putin has ever done. We did the same thing in WW2. Send the criminals off to war. They love to kill and if they die in the process? society is safer and we save money!
It might even be a winning move for Russia.
Their Propaganda Media counterparts would have kept that covered up except patriot Kyle Rittenhouse successfully defended himself against one of their sex offenders in Kenosha Wisconsin.
They volunteered to join the Wagner Group of mercenaries on the conditions that, if they live, their sentences are wiped - if they desert, they will be shot.
So let us consider some actual facts:
Russia and its allies captured the major industrial port city of Mariupol from frontline Ukrainian troops and are still in full control of that city.
Russia and its allies expelled the Ukrainian Army from the Luhansk Republic and are in full control there.
Russia and its allies are continuing to retake cities and villages in the Donetsk Republic and pushing Ukraine to the west.
Russia carried out a tactical retreat from the Kharkiv Oblast and moved those forces to the Donetsk region. Yes, they surrendered territory. They retreated.
During the current offensive, according to Ukrainian sources, Ukrainian troops are suffering at least 5 times the casualties of Russia and its allies.
Russia’s Air Force is intact and has suffered minimal losses while Ukraine’s Air Force has been erased.
Russia is producing its own missiles, rockets and artillery shells and is not dependent on another country to continue its fire missions while Ukraine is totally dependent, now, on western supplies.
In its current offensive in the Kharkiv oblast Ukraine has failed to carry out an operation in depth–its attacks have been confined to the frontlines while Russia’s artillery and missiles continue to rain down on exposed Ukrainian troops.
Wouldn’t you love to be a drill sgt trying to teach these thugs something?
Like the SS Dirlewanger Brigade.
Been tried before, didn’t work.
What might work is to round up a lot of Islamists, put them in their own units, and tell them they are going to fight Christians. And if they are good, they will be sent to Chechnya.
Joey has also done this. The criminals don’t even have to fight in a war or anything. They can re-offend with total abandon from Brandon.
