  1. A good reminder that we should stop comparing Russian soldiers to animals. Animals act on instinct, Russian soldiers behave like this by choice (and have for several centuries).

    No “red lines”, cries about war crimes, or strongly worded letter will change that. Russians themselves will have to make the decision to become better.

  2. Treat your enemy the way you are treated by the people behind you.

    The Russians know there’s executioners in their rear.

    I’m sure DesignerLunch will be here shortly giving justification for the russians.

  4. This is honestly just bad, not just on a moral standpoint but also strategically. You want your enemy to be willing to surrender to you. If they think they are going to die, whether in combat or surrendering, the Ukrainians have no choice but to fight to the last bullet. Anyone in the area who would ordinarily not fight is much more likely to take up arms to avoid atrocities committed against them if the Russians seize the area. It also just increases Ukrainian hatred for the Russians and gives them the resolve to keep fighting.

    This isn’t news. But still important to publicize. Russia is a terrorist state.

    Waiting to hear Tim Pools take on it

    Also thought Ukraine was pushing back the assault on Pokrovsk. Oof

    Leaving aside the fact that it’s atrocious, that would just make everyone want to fight. If you know you’re gonna die either way, might as well take a few russians with you. Idk who runs the russian army but they’re on a whole new level of stupidity…

    This war has been a huge lesson in how much “war crimes” actually matter in state level conventional warfare, especially when the people committing them are too big to force into compliance with those conventions.

    US soldiers go to jail for doing things like this…
