If the pedo affiliated invaders weren't there in the first place, they wouldn't get murdered for their pedo affiliated countrymen's actions. When every occupier is an enemy, each wear the same target. What one does, all of them have done, especially in the eyes of the occupied.

Yeah those Russians who filmed themselves cutting that guy's balls off before shooting him a few weeks ago claimed they did so because he raped a 5 year old or something along those lines. Maybe they were telling the truth, probably not, but either way it's absurdly hosed.

The Russian's (and Wagner) were reported to be doing similar things in 2014, and I'm sure they've done the same poo poo in Syria (not looking it up, but I'd be shocked if there are no reports of that behavior).

Yup, they did. In fact torture and murder was practically the name of the game and they've already been photographed posing in Ukraine making threats about doing the same sort of gimmicks they did in Syria.

I'm not saying that the invasion isn't bad I'm saying that there's a class of things ppl say when they're about to murder someone brutally and it's very often going to be some variation on wow this guy is an rear end in a top hat. It's just angry-flavored white noise.

NJersey posted:lol be nice to the rapist, genocidal orc invaders is a hell of a take… Realizing when humans are rationalizing their imminent murderous intent is a good thing, even when justified. Ukrainian and Russian soldiers alike are going to say whoever they are about to merc in cold blood is the worst dogfucking, baby spiking bastard on this blue Earth. Calling attention to the group-think capability to rationalize execution is a considered approach that appreciates that human violence is messy and most people are full of poo poo. Running away with murderous intent leads to bad things, no matter how satisfying it is

Just Another Lurker posted:Partisans aren't protected by laws like soldiers, kill or be killed is the usual way. This isn't correct. Partisans are treated based upon how they conduct themselves. If they wear a uniform or distinct identification, even something as simple as a colored sash or arm band, and they generally conduct themselves in accordance with the laws of war, they are required Geneva accords protections as soldiers. Furthermore, anyone who surrenders themselves to you is required humane treatment, regardless of their prior status. That's not to say that all partisans have those protections, I'm just pointing out that they aren't unlawful combatants automatically.

Some details on the $3 billion dollar Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (UASI) announcement today. This is different from a Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), in that USAI procures new systems. PDAs pull out of existing US stocks. PDAs are fast and immediate, but obviously come from somewhere in US stocks. USAIs are new build from industry, funded by the US government. Highlight of stuff DOD published: https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3138105/nearly-3-billion-in-additional-security-assistance-for-ukraine/ quote:Capabilities include: No transcript out yet, so here's a rough paraphrase, not transcription, of key highlights as I decide based on my personal biases and willingness to type while it plays at 2x speed. Full video here from the press conference earlier today: https://www.c-span.org/video/?522476-1/pentagon-briefs-latest-3-billion-ukraine-assistance-package USD for Policy Colin Kahl posted:Q: How far from fielding the Vampires (C-UAS) are we?

Some very interesting translations of a VDV memoir and an interview with a Russian Guards soldier. It's telling how bad the corruption is even among "elite" units, with both of them telling about commanders taking staged photos in place of doing actual training, and even "elite" units being stuck with rusted and obsolete weapons. Also, both of them admit their unit did looting and warcrimes. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1560022545356791810.html https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1560355153441705984.html https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1560725596765913089.html https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1561024849245573123.html https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1561411957340659713.html https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1561785870163787780.html https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1562874112707801088.html
