Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ryan_Scott: Right, which affords less protection for the combatants and more for the sponsor. It’s obvious how it benefits Russia…even more than the occupied areas. Because of International terrorism and anti-colonial insurgencies, in the 70s provisions were made for insurgents in the laws of land warfare. As long as they carry arms openly during confrontations, are under the commanded of persons responsible for their subordinates’ actions, and following an internal disciplinary system they should be afforded the rights of lawful combatants. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Zam18th: Doesn't really mean anything as it could just be damage control but I'm throwing it out there for you guys to take into consideration.
Anything is possible in this propaganda war. Russia has always focused on disinformation but their videos are often cringy fake. Anything is possible. Russians lying is normal/typical/usual. But they only do it on days of the week that end with "day". Sunday, monday, tuesday. "It's a training mission. We are definitely not going to invade Ukraine and murder civilians. Don't be silly." |

Prisoners of war… I was told by Russia that this wasn’t a war.
Prisoners of a special operation to place and remove bullets maybe. Actually I see 18 criminals condemned to death… no 18 prisoners of war here…

An entire generation has grown up with the understanding that an orc isn't just not a human being, it's evil in it's very existence. The entire trilogy of films featuring these creatures builds to a climax that brings the audience to cheers when the orcs are not just defeated... But exterminated from the face of the earth! This is why I miss Liveleaks. "Orc" and "Cyborg" were common phrases used to scream at each other over the internet circa 2015 on Russia/Ukraine combat videos. Not really regarding the Cyborg name.

If they're not POWs no protections apply to them. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ryan_Scott: There's relatively little popular support for separatism. It's astroturf that Russia bought. Killing and expelling the ethnic Ukranians from the region during the civil war didn't hurt either. Support for a referendum to state the LPR/DPR was ethnically Russian, pre-war (2010 or 2012) was like.... 30-35% in those regions. No area had a Russian majority. Crimea got close at like 48%, then was magically annexed. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dog1: It's been widely known for years that the so-called separatists in those regions were actually Russian soldiers. You need to pay attention more   Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dog1: Originally Posted By Zhukov: The background of this whole conflict is not easy at all to understand. Most of us had no idea about the historical intricacies driving this conflict. I, for one, had no idea up until yesterday that the "separatists" in the Donbas are actual Russian soldiers sent by Moscow disguised as civilians - and I've been reading various historical threads about Ukrainian and Russian history. Which is to say: Give people a break and try to educate them instead of teeing off on them. Plus the fact that farmers and labors could not unite and take over that much land against a national military. This is not the 1700 and 1800's. Military equipment versus civilian equipment is a huge gap nowadays. Not to mention the complexity and training required. It's quite obvious those were trained soldiers. |

I’ve wondered about this for some time. Right now, low-quantity, high-tech tools of war dominate the field but in the event of all-out WW3 when supply chains get interrupted just how critical inexpensive but scalable weapons, vehicles, etc will be to winning a global war. How many decades of backtracking technologically in terms of military tech would we see if any? |

If Russia pulls off a Ukraine victory anyway I agree - a non-NATO country would have to be the target if Russia thinks it can use the nuke threat to invade another country. Russia can never occupy Ukraine so there will be no victory over the whole country. And the war will never end until Putin and his crew are gone, not that it would ever stop Russia again since this conflict is hundreds of years older than the USA. Russia needs to be de-nuked and not allowed to have anything larger than a police force. |

Well hopefully it isn't true and if it is the Ukrainian command will put a stop to it. Whether you like it or not public opinion plays a huge role in what's going on and the eventual outcome. Whether or not you are angry has zero impact on the outcome unless you plan to participate personally. Due to the over the top behavior of a small number of people here and on other platforms I've started to see this war get the eye rolls and comparisons to Q and covid. The story of the Ukrainian resistance is a great one and they are doing a masterful job of telling it so let them. There's such a thing as trying too hard to help. |
