I'm glad other feel the same about these "heroic" acts. Friends of mine have been getting pumped over the Snake Island stuff, Ghost of Kyiv, and the guy blowing himself up along with a bridge but I just see it all as needless death and sacrifice.

gently caress if you are Ukrainian the move is to probably flee towards the Russians.. So far all the interactions I've seen between the Ukrainian citizens and the Russians have had the Russian troops on their best behavior.

Frosted Flake has posted a couple of times about how when Konigsberg was besieged during WW2, the German defenders turned a lot of their violence on the city populace in order to keep them from surrendering.

That's weird but I don't think it qualifies for article V. Why is there a Greek settlement in Ukraine anyway and why didn't they pull them out when the war was starting??

Yeah man getting a baker's dozen of people blown up over a lovely island is totally comparable to the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.

Yeah it's a good point, I don't believe all the reports of russian saboteurs putting beacons on top of hospitals or any of the wacky claims that are coming out from the pro-Ukraine side so I shouldn't just assume this video is what it claims to be.

The snake Island surrender really opened my eyes to this.. I just accepted that it was true that all the defenders sacrificed their lives for no reason at all because why would they make something like that up, and when it turned out that they all basically surrendered and it's not even clear if anyone was actually killed or how many.. just goes to show that you can't believe anything at this point.
