lol does anyone know what Graves Registration is?

I’m not being a dick. Seriously, what does the average American think happens to bodies left on the field after fight moves on? Complete identifiable bodies with a single bullet wound?

What about body parts and other unsanitary remnants of war? What about intermingled remains? Burnt out vehicles?

I’m trying to be chill about the question but the extent to which Americans are so cloistered it hadn’t even occurred to them that there might be bodies on a battlefield is sickening.

It's very sad. I hope I am chad enough not to be the person that is a bundle laying on the pavement during an 8-hour shootout.

Apparently, some of the soldiers wearing Ukrainian uniforms that were slain early on during Kyiv operations were in fact Russian commandos, which is in itself a violation of war crimes to wear enemy uniforms.

Putin is associated with Trump in their minds - it's part of why they need to take such a hard-line "fight Russia at all costs" position. To do anything less would equate to "being easy on Trump" in some way.

It is possible to be anti-war while being leftist.

Here is a very well-though essay from a Ukrainian leftist, for example...

no one has shown any proof, like identity documents or equipment to show that they were russians instead of ukranians killing each other out of paranoia and the free gun handouts

Thank you!!

They silenced nearly every single Ukrainian artillery battery from what I can see, including the stuff I read in the trade papers today. No Ukrainian artillery battalion or brigade sized units seem to be up and operating anywhere. That doesn’t mean every gun destroyed and all crews killed, the Ukrainians are still firing sporadic harassment, mostly with mortars, but their artillery has been removed as an operational factor.

That’s incredible. That’s absolutely incredible.

I've been avoiding most commentary outside of this thread, because it's genuinely unsettling seeing people talking about this like it's just another one of their media stories (not that it isn't also in this thread, but it's at least a minority here, as opposed to the dominant viewpoint everywhere else).

Reminder to all the utter dipshits here: it took the United States over a month to fully take Iraq, a country smaller, with fewer people, than The Ukraine, and this was only after the United States had literally starved Iraq for over a decade and essentially destroyed their entire army through deprivation.

If Russia could take all of Ukraine in 2 days they would be the greatest army in the history of the world.

I realize that people may not understand what it means, but there’s basically no functioning Ukrainian military formations of any substantial size around Kiev. Company sized, platoons, other scattered elements and a poo poo tonne of guns for civilians, but it’s not like an organized defence by a Brigade or Regiment. That’s why it’s being sold as plucky individual success or people all coming together. Military units have ceased to function in a way that matters operationally.

It’s astounding. Their military isn’t a factor in their capital, 2 days into a war. Incredible.

The Russians are back.

Oh and the United States had about twice the troops and considerably more firepower than the Russians do here.
