We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.

Are we allowed to dehumanize Russian soldiers and joke about them dying if we do it individually instead of en masse?

For example, remember the pictures of that one General or whatever who's so fat he's practically spherical? Can we, say, debate the odds that he'll die of a heart attack on a toilet vs. the odds of dying of a heart attack while attempting to loot a toilet?

Or can we perhaps come up with comical scenarios about how he'd have so much rear end hanging off either side of the toilet when he sits down that it's arguably inside him, and then he can't get it out and the poor mobiks have to come in and unbolt it from the floor and rush the General, toilet and all, to the nearest infirmary camp, where the doctors give him a bunch of Taco Bell and then point his butt toward Bakhmut and sure enough, soon the intestinal pressure shoots the toilet out like an artillery shell, but they forgot to account for the weight of the poop that was already in the toilet so the trajectory fell a little short and anyway that's how another A-50 got its radome crunched by a toilet falling from the sky?

Is that really what happened though? Extremely lovely joke if so, since it echoes the endless both sides poo poo from the tankies. When you do what clearly seems to be a whataboutism, don't be surprised when people object even if it was only meant as a dumb throwaway joke.

Not everything that mentions a thing in the context of another thing is "whataboutism".

He still has significant nerd cred -- I'd listen to him on infosec topics -- but yeah, it seems ten years under Putin's thumb has warped his perspective just a tad.

I had a thought, has anything like this ever been attempted to coerce surrender of troops?

Just giant tents advertising hookers, cocaine, water, medicine, warm beds and pizza.

In my head it would be immensely effective.

Air-dropped leaflets are the usual method. Often they explain exactly how to surrender safely and make various promises of safety and comfort.

Sometimes they get more specifically targeted, like this one from the Korean War offering a US$100,000 reward (a little over $1M in today's money) to the first North Korean pilot to defect and bring along their MiG-15.



The prize was claimed a few months later, although it was a total coincidence -- he'd never heard of the reward before he defected, so it was a happy surprise.

Russia is doing it all wrong putting tires on the entire surface of the bomber to protect them from drones. They need to put their scarce resources to only the parts of the aircraft that receive damage. Here is how they should be placed based on the reports from surviving bombers.
