Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Drakich: I've seen video of a Russian tank shooting an old man walking down the street with his bike with the main gun when the old man was 40 feet away. The Russians shooting and killing a man (a civilian with a family) while he had his hands up and then the Russians leading his widow and young child off into the woods. In 2014, a ceasefire was agreed to after the Russian military surrounded the Ukrainians who were sent in to deal with "separatists." When the Ukrainians withdraw through a corridor - per the agreement - the Russians slaughtered them with artillery. Some Russian invaders getting kneecapped doesn't even register on the give a fuck meter.

I'm just thinking you wouldn't make a video like that if you were enforcing rules. But maybe it was just some idiots that will get their comeuppance.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By reb0957: What would you do to people who destroyed everything you ever worked for? Killed your wife or kids or maybe even your parents? Americans haven't had to face this in modern times. I bet America's attitude would change if this was happening here! To answer your question directly, yes. Yes I could most definitely do that to a person if it served a purpose. And far worse to be honest, because I'm just that kind of guy. I'm not proud of it, but it is what it is. And for what it's worth, I can easily see this happening right here at home in our lifetimes and in our backyards, without some kind of radical course correction. Maybe soon enough well get to see who the real monsters in our own neighborhoods are and what motivates them to do these horrible things to those around them with little remorse. Then the rest of the world will get to grab the popcorn and cheer and marvel at us, and the spectacle of America imploding as we destroy ourselves. And judge us from the comfort of their living rooms and wi-fi hotspots. And judge us they will, oh boy will they. Would be a dream come true for so many. Sounds fun, doesn't it? This shit isn't a video game. The joy some people seem to get from all this is baffling to me. Probably because it's happening to someone else I suppose. Anyway, I though we are supposed to like seeing Russians getting jacked the fuck up? What's the problem? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HiramRanger: You have the luxury of opining that way because you’re sitting in the cheap seats. You can moralize all you want because it’s not your ass on the line or your people suffering. Russians will invent the propaganda to that effect whether it happens or not. Their idiot citizenry believes the Nazi narrative. I have no problem with them greasing collaborators. You're obviously upset and not picking up what I'm laying down. I could care less what they do with Russian prisoners but they shouldn't do it on camera. It's not about morality and I doubt I am a moral person by your standards. It is simple arithmetic. The better it seems they are treating Russian prisoners the more likely they are to surrender. The more of them surrender the quicker the war will be over and the less Ukrainian civilians will be killed. This seems like a good thing to me but I suppose this thread isn't really about that is it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ITCHY-FINGER: There is a VERY BIG difference, being a professional soldier deployed, doing your duty with cold impartiality. Been there done that. The Iraqi EPW's I dealt with got a much softer reception in my hands than by the Marines that originally captured them on the battlefield. Also it's a big difference when YOUR homes are bombed, your parents, little sisters, etc killed. Probably a large percentage of Uk soldiers have family members killed by Russians. If my daughter was killed, there would be video of my carving on Russians. *I also think intentionally harming EPW's is horrendous and a war crime BTW. And you know what, I don't expect those prisoners to be treated with kid gloves, if they get a busted lip and a few sore ribs in the process of being searched and secured, I think we all know and agree that's the least they deserve. If somebody shot at me I would be pretty pissed too. But that's why it's important to "speed to the rear", so that somebody who isn't personally invested in who those guys are or what they did takes over from there. And I agree it sucks because they probably deserve far worse, but officers and NCOs enforce that discipline so that the bigger picture stuff isn't put at risk.

This is what they should do with them and properly document their deaths for accountability, not record it for frivolous reasons. I hadn't considered that, good points. If that's truly what's going on....then that simplifies matters. It still doesn't need to be video recorded. |

Take the airport so troops could land and take Kyiv. It was well documented 1000 pages ago. @Eight_Ring See lorazepam's answer. The initial "strategy" apparently - given the opening moves - was a decapitation strike using "shock and awe" missile attacks on select government installations, an air assault attack on the Hostomel airport to be followed up with air mobile VDV troops to seize the capital and government buildings. The expectation was that Zelenski would flee, the UA army would stand down (more or less) within a few days without leadership, and the 200,000 Russian troops would move in largely unopposed as "peacekeepers" after the new puppet government "invited" them in. Instead, the air assault attack took heavy casualties getting to the airport, and after seizing the airport for a little while, were dispersed by the UA counter-attack. Follow-up airmobile forces were shot down by UA air defense or forced to turn back. They didn't have the logistical infrastructure in place to sustain offensive operations for 200,000 troops. While it's hard to articulate the sheer ineptness of the Russians so far, presumably they have a fair idea of what their brigade equivalents burn in turns of supplies, ammo, and fuel when on the offensive. The fact that they didn't stage adequate logistics means either they don't actually have an idea of the necessary logistics, or - the conclusion I prefer - is they actually thought there would be little resistance. It would take some pretty interesting logic to assert that this was the Russian plan all along - lose your best VDV and mobile troops and lose your best equipment only to "conquer" the territory you had already conquered plus killing 100,000 UA civilians. |

Russia has forced civilians to pick up a rifle and become non-professional soldiers. The results are totally predictable. It's 100% on russia and russian soldiers. As a soldier did you murder civilians? No. The reason russian soldiers are called orcs is because they behave like orcs. It's not an isolated incident. But exterminated from the face of the earth! That’s a very adept analysis. |

I’m not sure if that Russian kneecapping video is legit or not, but I’ll say this. Anybody who tries to claim that they would not resort to horrid shit should this country ever be invaded, and where the adversary is sowing wanton destruction throughout is talking out their ass.
I dare say that we would all do some fucked up stuff to captured in that situation should the opportunity allow. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Firearmsenthusiast: They were moved there by the Soviets, it was all part of the Soviet doctrine to maintain control. Those Russians have been there for a few generations now, the old Soviet resettlement plan is paying dividends for Putin. Yes. They murdered the Kulaks by the millions taking all their food for their 5 year plan bullshit and moved ethnic Russians into the area to repopulate. |
