And these were units of Russia's "elite" and "professional" military doing it. So it wasn't for lack of training and proper military doctrine. It WAS their doctrine to torture, rape, loot and murder. |

I can see why the Russian people think these images are fake. Because if they were real, they’d think that the west would be bombing Russia. And we aren’t, so the images must just be fake propaganda.
By doing nothing, we’re allowing them to stay delusional. |
Why not? |
This. I don't think it's the 18-year old kids. They're scared and they were lied to about where they were being sent. Far more likely to have been cynical and brutal war hungry Chechen knuckle dragging thugs. |

Pp again. The more I read it the more chilling it is. The premise is: All Ukrainians = nazis —> denazify Ukraine
i.e. eliminate everything Ukrainian, including people, language, culture, leaders, history, everything. Replace “nazi” in the article with Ukrainian or tutsi or Bosnian or jewish and the whole horror of what is written becomes crystal clear. |

They brought mobile crematoriums for a war they thought was going to be over in 3 days. Putin called the operation a "final solution to the Ukrainian problem" in his accidentally posted victory statement.

+1 Did no one read what the average Soviet infantry did in retaliation in WWII? This ain’t new. |
You are underestimating the “pack” mentality of hungry, cold, scared 18 year olds who have been fed lies ***all*** their lives about the nazi Ukrainians and their western puppeteers and find in front of them vulnerable and defenseless population to take out their anger on. |
+2. The is the Russian Army playbook, going back at least to WWII. Don't let their ballet and literature and (former) superpower status delude you into thinking they are a sophisticated or modern society. |
Both sides are beyond contempt. The crazy Hunter stuff from the right, and the equally despicable Trump stuff from the left needs to stop. I hope Ukraine gets more help, that is what needs to be focused on. |
There is no "equally dispicable" Trump stuff from the left, but yeah, Ukraine needs more help. |
Stop the “both-sides!”garbage. They are NOT equally contemptible. |
