mawarannahr posted:do you think the bill is good or bad? it seems normal to me and the main objection seems to be it might stigmatize NGOs that have to disclose their sources of funding. this is a normal type of law also found in advanced locations like the EU. Isn't the problem with the bill that a similar law was used in Russia to tamp down on free speech and civil society? Maybe its not so much the individual words as much as the fact that many Georgians don't trust a Russian oligarch and his party? Still, its refreshing to see someone who isn't as deeply cynical as me posting itt. fake edit: Oh God what a terrible snipe.

I ran the video through whisper, the result isn't always great, and in this case I'm not sure if its accurate or not because the result is confusing.quote:What's so, so to shoot? So to shoot? Maybe. It's stronger, stronger. You what? You are loving loving. What's wrong with you? gently caress, gently caress. gently caress, gently caress.

Okay first off the art is pretty good, I can't draw that well to save my life. Love all the blood nice touch. The cope cages are missing kids and not enough swastikas on the soldiers. No no! Not on the Ukrainians! On the brave Russian troops! For extra realism and/or patriotism the tanks should be stealing a washer or toilet. Oh and always remember kids for every dead Ukrainian you show make sure to not acknowledge the 5 dead Russian heroes just off to the side.

Looking at the number of people going 'you cannot defeat Russia, resistance is futile' this tactic has some effect on the real battlefield, Western public opinion. Speaking of mass death, first footage has appeared of ATACMS cluster strikes on a Russian unit in Lukansk and it's pretty terrifying to see a big plot of land turning instantly into explosions. The fact a high quality drone is filming from way up high unmolested is also interesting, it's been a while since this kind of imagery was released.

Can you even call them mercenaries? IIRC most if not all of them were lured to Russia on false pretences (e.g. promises of work), put in fatigues and asked to meatwave Ukrainian lines.

CommissarMega posted:Can you even call them mercenaries? IIRC most if not all of them were lured to Russia on false pretences (e.g. promises of work), put in fatigues and asked to meatwave Ukrainian lines. Russia avoids some of the definitions. And all must be true for someone to be considered a mercenary. (a) is especially recruited locally or abroad in order to fight in an armed conflict; (b) does, in fact, take a direct part in the hostilities; (c) is motivated to take part in the hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain and, in fact, is promised, by or on behalf of a Party to the conflict, material compensation substantially in excess of that promised or paid to combatants of similar ranks and functions in the armed forces of that Party; (d) is neither a national of a Party to the conflict nor a resident of territory controlled by a Party to the conflict; (e) is not a member of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict; and (f) has not been sent by a State which is not a Party to the conflict on official duty as a member of its armed forces. a: nope, people are told they will be taxi drivers b: obviously yes once they arrive c: lol, what material compensation? d, e and f are true but that does not matter as the first is so obviously not applicable.

they hosed with the definition of mercenaries specifically so they could keep on using most, if not all, of the mercs they were using when they were drafting the geneva conventions for mercenaries. a lot of the underlying problems of mercenaries are within-state, like the army of the flanders and poo poo like that, so they don't have to be covered under international law which is always significantly more useless than domestic within-state laws, they can be covered by domestic laws. that specifically is why the not-a-national-nor-a-party-to-the-state thing is there, which means that wagner is somehow not mercenaries, because they're covered by domestic laws bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 15:57 on May 1, 2024 |

Are these the safer cluster munitions that self-destruct after some 36 hours or so, or are these the cluster munitions that have a ~85% ignition rate and will leave a generous 1/10 UXO per bomb? I'm all for sending aid, but dropping those in-country is going to be a hell of a cleanup if it's the latter.

The cleanup is going to be a tiny amount bigger as there are already millions of mines put there by Russia. And defeating Russia will prevent them placing millions more.

You need to have a country to do a cleanup. Cluster munitions are the best way to deal with human wave attacks, outside of dense minefields.

You're conflating cluster munitions with anti-personnel mines. These cluster munitions (DPICM) explode on contact and have a ~2% dud rate. I don't think the US has any remaining stocks of anti-personnel mines that don't have a built-in self-destruct timer. Those aren't completely reliable either. It may interest you to know that Russia has been pretty spendthrift with its own stocks of "butterfly mines", their equivalent AP mines that sometimes have a timer that's supposed to blow them up and an egregious dud rate. An enormous UXO cleanup effort is already locked in for the country, the majority of it is directly Russia's fault, and the remainder is indirectly Russia's fault. e: don't mean to dogpile you, the AP mine:DPICM distinction is mostly what I wanted to clarify.
