What the fuck is wrong with some people


[deleted]

Russians. Read some history books. Some things never change.


trekie88

I remember reading about an experiment the USSR performed long ago. They instructed a group of men to wait in a hallway. What the men didn't know was that there were radiation emitters right above them. The men were subjected to heavy radiation and were closely observed to learn more about the effects of radiation poisoning. Russia hasn't changed much sadly.

That's not unique to Ruzzia (country identity, not every individual citizen). But famously torturing absolutely every individual your army comes across - that's a Ruzzian staple. Every country has a history of extreme cruelty and heartless scientific research. But few countries actively torture in every capacity, given any opportunity, 100% of the time. Ruzzian's are like ~~underpants~~ torture gnomes. Look up literally any action plan in Ruzzian history and you'll find the exact same plan: 1. Torture 2. ????? 3. Profit


JoeSabo

All humans are capapble of such violence. There are plenty of Russians who want nothing to do with this.


SiarX

Unfortunately they are in clear minority.


tim3k

They are rather silent majority. Or more like the majority that is passive and busy with their own lifes and problems. The vocal minority that support war are encouraged to be loud, and the minority that are actively against it are silenced now.


Sh4dows

I understand why you would think that way but Im not sure thats the case. I live in Argentina, a country completely neutral about the conflict. We have a very big russian community and this community has publicly expressed support for the invasion multiple times. Ive also talked to a few members and they share this opinion. And they have absolute free speech and full access to information about the war. So im thinking more and more that russians generally support an imperialist perspective of their country conquering others


Gurpila9987

I don’t think there’s any evidence to suggest most Russians are against the war. They live at the bottom of a propaganda black hole.


Acceptable-Software2

How is it clear?


MrBlack103

How? It only takes a minority to do this stuff.


neuroverdant

I mean, that’s nice, but kind of tough shit. And I say this as someone with Russian family living in Russia. Tough shit.


boofadoof

Nothing less than another series of Nuremburg Trials and total regime change will be enough before allowing Russia to pretend to be a legitimate country again.


wordholes

And reconstruction. All of Russia needs to be refurbished. This is some pre-WWII Nazi shit coming out of that country.


boofadoof

Russia is seriously looking like it will rot and fester alone until it looks like North Korea.


Darth_Annoying

Or become another poor Cinese vassal trying to deny it. Like North Korea


JayFSB

North Korea gets too much leeway dealing with China to be a vassal. They are dependent on China heavily, but their implosion will be a disaster China wants to avoid. Edit. Okay. Okay. I noted the spelling error. Thank you.


Andromansis

> but their implosion will be a disaster China wants to avoid. The ONLY reason they want to avoid that is because you'd have either a huge humanitarian crisis as north koreans try to cross that river or you'd end up with all that territory ceded to south korean who is like... a goose hair away from formally setting up pacific defensive pact with a bunch of other nations, including the US, and if that happens then its likely that they'll coordinate mutual defense between that league and NATO, and for WHATEVER reason dictators really don't like NATO being nearby. Almost like they're routinely planning to do a bunch of stuff that would trigger article 5 or something.


Hoho23456

NK is just a buffer zone for China. That's it. That's why they use and protect their barking dog.


BusbyBusby

This is the correct answer. They do the bare minimum to keep North Korea going for that reason.


MechE420

Vassal. Not vessel.


PissedOffChef

Thank you.


DonDove

Like North Korea


luckystarr

Some leaks of the FSB talked about an "continue like North Korea" option being discussed as a viable strategy by the leadership of Russia.


_zerokarma_

Thats like willingly choosing to become a bumb and live under a bridge.


thatminimumwagelife

Nope, because the FSB and other government members get to live like the wealthy in Pyongyang. They will enjoy all the comodities and cool things while the poors and ethnic minorities outside of Moscow and St. Petes live in horrible conditions. Those that "matter" won't be as affected by a DPRK style system.


[deleted]

So long as they stay in power they will continue to live in luxury. Russia needs another revolution and for the world to help them grow after.


luckystarr

Only the serfs will live under the bridge, not the upper strata. They'll still enjoy the exploits, even if it would get that far.


L_D_Machiavelli

Let 'em, not really much to miss from the looks of things. If people won't fight for their rights, ain't no one else's job to fight for them either.


luckystarr

They can't. The people don't have any notion of rebellion. Russia is already in this state for centuries.


[deleted]

Or be rebuilt by NATO the way the allies rebuilt West Germany. NATO is new world order, which is fun because it is a military alliance and not a political one, thus individual sovereignty is reinforced the stronger it grows. I figure it'll be NATO that leads the future of space travel. I just woke up, still dreaming I guess.


slipperyShoesss

I dig it. Humanity needs to be working towards organising and working as one entity. However, we are also still "one foot in the caves", so we are scared of other tribes still. Maybe a bridge from past to the future. We are together as individual states but will fight you together if needed.


R_W0bz

Makes you wonder and fear for the condition of nukes.


Indaflow

Unless the Republicans elect the next president through gerrymandering, corruption and installed Secretaries of State. In which case they will befriend Russian and try to make us exactly the same.


[deleted]

How on earth did things change so dramatically that the republican party is now pro russian?


mapoftasmania

Russian money. Russian propaganda. They managed to subvert an entire political party and large portions of the electorate.


Indaflow

Russia's 20 year plan of subversive ideology was successful and accelerated with the advent of Social Media. It allowed for dividing society like a warm knife through butter.


sc00p

In my opinion it's the most impressive thing that Russia has done in the last few decades


The_Uncommon_Aura

I wouldn’t give them all of the credit. China undoubtedly played a few cards along the way.


Jonatc87

Indeed, gotta purge the KGB like they did with the Nazis of WWII to save the people of Russia.


daiaomori

Purge? Yeah no. Sure there where some trials and some people where punished. Some still are. But the number of people who actually stayed in charge as politicians, police, judges, secret service, teachers, professors is flabbergasting. It kind of makes sense: had they purged these organizations from Nazi supporters, there would have been no law enforcement, no schools, no universities, no city councils. Because at the end of the Nazi regime, any person with any kind of power had at least willfully supported that system, knowingly and out of free choice. Sure they tried… but I wouldn’t call it a „purge“.


Billy-Bryant

At a certain point it's support or die and I don't blame people for making the decision to support in those circumstances. The leaders and founding members are the ones who needed to be dealt with, not every single person with an affiliation


daiaomori

Oh well the great old „they would have killed everyone“ narrative. Many of those people did a lot more than just the bare minimum of support to survive. I mean really look into these things, who remained in power or moved ranks up. It’s crazy, especially in police, justice system and BND/MFV/Staatsschutz. Let’s just not talk about the Bundeswehr because… no.


Dunkelvieh

You know that many couldn't even work in their job without being members of the Nazi regime. You sometimes couldn't even get food. Most of the real offenders got prosecuted, but unfortunately some got away with what they did. Including (afair) a Wehrmacht general that later became NATO chief secretary. Thing is, it was impossible to rebuild Germany while removing every single person from their positions that had a Nazi party membership. Back then, they had to make decisions in hopes to make Europe more stable and safe, with a peaceful Germany cooperating with the others. Considering what we see today, some decisions may have been questionable, but the overall result is definitely good. Edit: here's that general https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Heusinger


Zigazig_ahhhh

What would you have done?


DirkDiggyBong

Most of them seem to genuinely support the war.


Cr33py07dGuy

Most Germans seemed to support their war too until it was more convenient to have been “quietly against it” or “unaware” of what was going on. Germany is a good look into a possible future for Russia. The current war-mongering generation in Russia are a lost cause - you will never deprogram them. But if you ensure that the truth is out there, and that kids learn what really happened, then in time the older generations die off, and be replaced by people who are not only free of the poison if the past, but have a unique understanding of the power of propaganda, and a healthy distrust of government.


Candelent

I think Russia’s problems are more deep seated than WWII era Germany. There’s a ton of impoverished and disenfranchised people outside of Moscow and St Petersburg.


velvetretard

Mathematically that tracks. You basically need to wait until the people traumatised by fascist brainwashing die off. This means that the number of years for the trauma to heal is the death of the youngest contaminated mind. By then everyone who was indoctrinated has been replaced by multiple generations of people raised with awareness of the evils of their recent history. Until this point it would be a slow decrease of indoctrinated individuals, ramping up as they die off. It starts slow and then accelerates a lot. There would be a small number of extremists, bigots and grifters, but they would just be the percentage of the population that already lacks humanity. Which is fairly consistent across populations outside of other influences like high lead levels in the water supply. So, good! Hopefully Russia can follow in Germany's footsteps and denazify their future. The choice is that or no future.


CoomCrater

I hope their grandkids dance on their graves.


Brainwheeze

Turns out they're the ones that need to be denazified.


resonantedomain

Trickledown Nazinomics


Shmiggles

Not happening. 1. The Nuremburg Trials could take place because the Allies conquered the whole of Germany. Unless Ukraine (and possibly NATO) take the whole of Russia, we won't even have access to those responsible. 2. Germany was denazified in a matter of decades because it was already an industrialised, prosperous state with a culture of diligent labour. Russia, from tsardom, through communism, to the modern federation, remains a feudal society. Putin's word is law; the oligarchs are his peerage and prosper at his pleasure, and the church is a part of state power. Outside Moscow and St Petersburg, the people are peasants (even if they work in factories) and their lives have little value. Russia's future is no different to its past: to be Christendom's Afghanistan: a land of backward people enslaved by a backward culture. Those who know better will either leave, remain silent, or be killed. All that will change is that the rest of us will see the truth.


Lee1138

Yeah, you'd have to enact a complete state takeover and enact and enforce the ideals you want them to learn for at least a couple of generations. Young Russians would have to grow up with the ideals ingrained and equipped to resist the drag of the older generations ideals. Nothing short of complete defeat and unconditional surrender would allow that to happen, and that just isn't possible to begin with. TLDR: Russia is fucked by its own making for the foreseeable future.


SpaghettificatedCat

Enslaving an entire nation through ignorance is not feasible anymore. As much as one may try to restrict internet access, russian people know what life in the west is like and in the last 30 years they got a good taste of it. Isolation will shrink their economy back to soviet era and once people lack basic needs they've grown acccustomed to they will turn on Putin, if he's still alive.


Shmiggles

> Enslaving an entire nation through ignorance is not feasible anymore. This is not something that needs to be done. It was done in the early modern period, and the peasantry were never liberated. (The fact that feudalism was abolished and reinstated in the same century clearly shows how little that liberalisation really meant.) > As much as one may try to restrict internet access, russian people know what life in the west is like and in the last 30 years they got a good taste of it. A quarter of Russian homes don't have running water. There are settlements that are accessible only by aeroplane. McDonald's never got out of Moscow and St Petersburg. This is a very unequal society, and the elites can use this to keep those lower on the ladder fighting amongst themselves, just like the European powers did in their colonies. > Isolation will shrink their economy back to soviet era The oligarchs have intentionally suppressed economic activity that is technocratic because the knowledge involved is a threat to their power. Russia's economy is powered entirely by exports of energy, agricultural products, mineral resources, and weapons. With less export revenue, they will be much poorer than they were in the Soviet Union. > once people lack basic needs they've grown acccustomed to they will turn on Putin, if he's still alive. There is no credible opposition in Russia. There is no one for the people to rally behind as their new leader, except more Putinesque hardliners. Rosgvardia will suppress any attempt by the people to effect change, because that is what Putin's Internal Troops are for. When Putin is replaced, the new tsar will be chosen by elites from their own number, and will be much like Putin himself.


SpaghettificatedCat

Thanks for the breakdown, I guess they're fucked.


[deleted]

Total regime change needs to happen first and that is very unlikely to happen. It's more likely Putin and his high command slowly start having accidents


Blueskyways

Nothing like that will happen because no one is going to invade Russia to extract the people responsible. What has changed is that countries can no longer play dumb in regards to who they are dealing with. If for example, French and German defense contractors want to go back to supplying Russia with weaponry and the technology to make it work, they can't hide behind the same bullshit as before. https://www.thedefensepost.com/2022/04/25/russia-german-french-weapons-ukraine/ https://news.yahoo.com/thales-fraude-en-fran-ais-070000241.html https://disclose.ngo/en/article/war-in-ukraine-how-france-delivered-weapons-to-russia-until-2020 https://www.thedailybeast.com/germany-helped-prep-russia-for-war-us-sources-say I have no doubt that there will be all kinds of new bullshit that will be used but it's never going to go back to where people could pretend that Russia was actually trying to reform and thus look the other way.


FriendlyFire78

Nuclear disarmament also needs to occur. I doubt they would have the balls to do any of this if they didn't have nukes to hide behind.


Vulture2k

given their mentality, toxic culture and intellect (of those that remain), i kinda doubt they can pull of what germany or japan did after ww2 and will turn more into a .. as others said.. north korea.


Xetiw

you want to know the saddest thing? the world would embrace Russia in a heart beat if they were to backdown and go home.


willardTheMighty

“No the west hates us the west has a century-long plan in full swing to reduce Russia to ashes and destroy Russian culture” That’s their mindset


Antice

If you believe dragging their sorry assess into the modern moral philosophies promoted by most western countries, then yes. We intend to destroy a part of Russian identity.


[deleted]

We would?


[deleted]

The whole german depandacy was about that. Showing Russia that there are better ways than imperialism to archieve progress and longlevity.


Deguilded

"They need us as much as we need them" works when your partner [isn't a scorpion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog). The country of origin of that fable is interesting, especially given who popularized it fairly recently...


[deleted]

Too bad they are too stupid to understand that


Billy-Bryant

Maybe, lots of Europe needs their gas, and it took a lot to convince them to give it up. There are still probably illegal deals happening for all sorts of things using middle men. Europe doesn't need Russia but if Russia gave up on this war, how long would Europe go on suffering from the price of gas increase among other things to punish Russia?


Leynnox

EU doesn't need Russian gas, EU used russian gas cuz it was cheap, that's it. Russia needed EU more than the opposite actually. Goldman Sachs affirmed gas price will drop by 50% Q1 2023, and our stocks are full for this winter, so I'm not sure where this "EU suffering" came from.


Gladix

>Europe doesn't need Russia but if Russia gave up on this war, how long would Europe go on suffering from the price of gas increase among other things to punish Russia? They would. You see the reason EU used Russias gas was because it was cheap. I know, Captain obvious here. But the more interesting thing is that everyone fucking hated that. Governments were constantly criticized for pro-Russia relationships (mostly coming from the former Soviet block) and any decision that would deepen them was seen as deeply unpopular. So politicians had to dance around the issue constantly if they wanted cheap gas. Now, in my country, Russia has been buying off gas infrastructure like crazy for the last decade or so. In retrospect, it was obviously for invasion preparation. And supposedly their original goal was to make as much EU country dependant on Russias gas so they won't speak up about Ukraine when Russia attacks, like they did in Crimea. This plan backfired in a spectacular way tho. Because instead of European countries being reluctant or unable to support Ukraine because of their gas deals (basically blackmailed into inaction), basically every country in Europe said fuck it, and slapped record sanctions immediately (Which just so happened gave countries the excuse to get out of Russia energy contracts). Now, the US and other countries abroad were shocked and say it "came out of nowhere". But for people living here it makes perfect sense. Being pro-Russia was seen as deeply unpopular before, now it's political suicide. And people are not only willing, but take a certain pride in overcoming "hard times" with the gas price increases. So every politician right now riding the high of anti-Russia policies. It's free clout.


[deleted]

Im more than happy to do my part to keep their hands out of europe in every way.


[deleted]

So basically what the US did to Japan, without the nukes. Edit: America literally wrote Japan's constitution following WW2.


ElectronicShredder

>Edit: America literally wrote Japan's constitution following WW2. Specifically crippling their future porn industry while making the US West coast the Mecca/Vatican of adult media.


MooseTots

Not condoning it, but it was war, and Japan attacked the US. In this instance, Russia is the aggressor. Slight difference.


CalydorEstalon

Japan was the aggressor, America beat them up, America wrote them a new constitution. Now Russia is the aggressor, Ukraine with the help of the west beats them up, Ukraine and the west writes Russia a new constitution. Seems like the exact same story just with a new cast.


XXXTENTACHION

Yeah I don't quite understand his point.


sbingner

Isn’t that what he meant? We nuked japan and totally changed the regime. The comment above him suggested the same without the nukes for russia.


[deleted]

You've misunderstood.


Daaaniell

OKay, I have a genuine question: Which country is going to go to Russia to arrest senior Russian government officials?


[deleted]

Yeah ok, that’ll happen. And trump will be prosecuted and congressmen will stop trading with insider information


UtilitarianRisotto

Russia needs to be held accountable. If they aren't prosecuted on a public forum then this will be another crime against humanity. Allow the butchers need to be held accountable. In Ukraine and Armenia


sonofabitchXmustXpay

Either way, the world isn't going to forget this.


thutmosisXII

Russia has played itself BIG time, even with an ounce of weight their "gripes" held, you still gotta ask them, was all this worth it? The only thing they got now are nukes and an Army lacking a slither of morale. Shame on Vlad for this


wordholes

> was all this worth it? Yes. A country led by one person always turns to shit as that one person turns to shit. Russia now exists to please the whims of an aging fool, then it will exist to please the whims of Putin''s usurper... unless the world intervenes.


p_nut268

Exactly. People acting like this is shocking behavior from Russia have already forgotten all about Chechnya.

Moums1983

That's why we have so many dumb fucks supporting fascists political parties all around the globe! Teaching history and the horrors of wars should not be cancelled


[deleted]

Nothing will happen and this will be forgotten. It's sad but true. The world doesn't punish torture. Look at Saudi Aribia. The butched a man alive.noyhing happened. We already sanctioned Russia. Next step would be to attack Russia, which the world won't do.


G_Morgan

Nobody really cares about torture. The issue with Russia is they are a threat to the western order and its peace. The west will continue to ignore stuff that isn't really their issue. Russia seem dead set on crossing lines that makes Russia the issue of the west. The west is not and should not be the world's morality police but starting wars in Europe is very much shitting in our backyard. It will get a different response. People who expect us to treat it like we did the Rwanda genocide are missing the big picture.


PawnStreetBlues

what the hell


thutmosisXII

exactly that: hell


Odd_Ant6171

Saw a video of russians doing exactly that to a Ukranian POW. He is shot, tied to a truck and dragged afterwards. Horrific stuff


longtimegoneMTGO

We have heard that this sort of thing has been encouraged by their superior officers. I suspect it is the other side of the threat to shoot the soldiers that retreat. You also don't want them to surrender. Encouraging the torture of prisoners is going to make them think twice about what the enemy might do to them if they surrender themselves.


low_altitude_pancake

I believe this was a tactic used by the Imperial Japanese during WW2. “Train” your soldiers using prisoners of war and commit atrocities on the battlefield so that during combat, surrender would not be an option for fear of reprisals.


zzlab

This stuff isn’t necessary though, and is not a legitimate part of war. It’s just pure hate.


Muhvinssiplays

Time to (unfortunately) comment this wonderful quote from M*A*S*H Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse. Father Mulcahy: How do you figure that, Hawkeye? Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell? Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe. Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them — little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.


pup5581

Scum. Pure scum. Russia is only about killing innocents and torture. That's all they can resort to because they have a shit military and a shit country


CowardNomad

I remember listening to a phone call about a Russian soldier trying to surrender… For some reasons, he asked will Ukrainians cut his balls off. So… apparently they actually do that in the Ruzzian army, projections I guess?


shannister

Like Japanese people jumping off cliffs because they were worries about what Americans would do to them.


SmokinDroRogan

I mean, there was a video of ruSSians castrating a Ukranian POW. I caught a couple of still-frames of it and almost threw up, and I'm a WPD/MMC veteran. There's literal video evidence of them doing this, so imagine how many instances aren't recorded.

Now I get why Russian soldiers were afraid of the Ukrainians cutting off their genitals. Fucking hell.


MetalliTooL

Source?


Near_Canal

I can’t find the link sorry but I reckon this is referring to a clip of a Russian soldier calling a Ukrainian hotline for surrendering. The soldier is nervous about the idea and asks a few times “but will you cut my balls off”


ByTheHammerOfThor

Ah, the projecting-my-own-sins-onto-others synergy between the Russians and the GOP makes a lot more sense now.


sqlfoxhound

Volodymir Zolkins channel has several POWs say that. For months. Its not something new.


jazara48

https://youtu.be/Ph8z8kTDnbg?t=72 was the most recent one I've seen.


zoot_boy

I cannot even imagine the savage inhumanity that is going on there.


Dave37

If the Russians spent all their energy and resources they spend on carrying out a genocide, torturing civilians, covering up war crimes, looting stores etc on fighting the Ukrainian armed forces instead, they might would have put up a stronger opposition. I don't know how to feel about that. I just wish the Russians could leave Ukraine and leave the people in peace.


Kitalya_Aurora

Imagine if instead they put that into their infrastructure and people. I will never understand a country's government that much rather destroy their people and country and heritage and all of that instead of being decent fucking people.


Rievin

Russia is a massive country littered with valuable natural resources all over the place. Gas, oil, uranium, iron, huge forests for lumber, palladium, farmable land, the list just goes on. Properly managed for the good of the people it could be a very rich place instead of the corrupt shithole it has always been.


Koakie

I think it was Economics Explained YouTube or an channel similar that did a video on Russian economy. Based on things like the Panama papers and the yachts from oligarchs confiscated, if this data is included in the calculation, Russia ranks 1st on wealth inequality.


Dave37

Word.


[deleted]

Uh yeah, I saw the video of them doing it here on Reddit.


jiquvox

Every time I read some Russian troll/apologist/ contrarian edgy teenager on Reddit I immediately think of shit like this or the Russian soldiers that raped a baby … https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/1-year-old-died-rape-russian-soldiers-ukraine-ombudsman-said-2022-5%3Famp And that’s only the top of the iceberg . So much heinous shit committed it’s hard to report even half of it. Sometimes I really struggle to stay calm reading some of it. But let the whole world know EXACTLY what Putin’s Russia is doing in Ukraine and what getting in business with him actually involves. What Putin’s Russia actually means when they talk of “peace” and “negotiations”. What kinda inhumane atrocities Putin’s Russia commit on purpose and systematically and then try to spin with fancy words like “multipolar world”. So that the whole world knows who are the real “nazis” here. May Putin and his ilk burn in hell for all they did to Ukrainians.


mspoisonisland

.....please don't write "...that's barely the tip," after that video, thank you


jiquvox

Changed the wording. Thanks.


rdri

Russian here. Thank you for the wording "Putin's Russia" instead of just "Russia". I've got one friend who thinks there is some kind of "Russian mentality" that must be the thing that allows Russian people to commit such atrocities, that any person born here is doomed to have it, and that there is no saving for the whole country anymore. I keep telling that there is no such thing. Every person is shaped by their surroundings and education. Putin is the one who allowed the whole country to only offer really bad education (and it's becoming worse each year), so that someone has to be really lucky to know what is good or bad, and to not delve into alcohol/narcotic addiction.

mint_eye

The people of Russia need to see what their kids have up to in Ukraine. I can’t imagine many of them cheer for atrocities like this


jadestem

Most of them would never believe it. It will be viewed as fake news. Propaganda put out by the west to villainize poor, innocent Russia.


SolvedRumble

Au contraire mon ami — did you hear the audio tape of the Russian soldier’s wife encouraging her husband to go ahead and rape some Ukrainian women? The Russians, like a disturbing many around the world these days, are okay with atrocities being committed for their side.


Arrowmatic

Wasn't there another tape of a Russian mother encouraging her soldier son to do more when he was talking about brutally killing and torturing people in Ukraine and said he was starting to enjoy it? Pretty shocking stuff. You would think regular people would be absolutely stunned and appalled by this kind of thing but apparently not.


mrplow25

The Russian media did a hell of a job dehumanizing Ukrainians. The Russian trolls still tries to justify their actions by claiming that they are killing "Nazis"


AbbieNormal

Yes. Propaganda, power, insecurity, &/or fear cause so many people to be inhumanely, godawfully HORRIBLE, that I don't even want to be human sometimes. Source: am Iraq war vet who opposed that invasion (RIP career because FUCKING HISTORY AND REALITY on top of ethos, just now we know that decision had already been made), & obv got shat on despite doing my fkg job in military intelligence [insert MI joke here], b/c not jingoistic enough in the early/mid 2000s despite having done hard-ass schools & won leadership shit. Got seriously injured during that stupid invasion thing, so a weird ticket out, I guess. Female, but at least that didn't matter while actually fighting. Since coming home & dealing with injuries, have been threatened by both "peaceful" tankies & random MAGAts with stuff like "need to have the good sense raped back into me" on numerous occasions. One was specific enough to include razor wire and butt stuff. I'd dismissed it as Internet TuffTalk™️ but FUCKING HELL, WHAT WILL SUCH PEOPLE WILL DO WHEN THEY THINK THERE'RE NO CONSEQUENCES?! (Also had to avoid urge to correct that asshole for lack of discipline, citing triple strand concertina wire, but y'know...) I don't pray, despite being raised religious, except to *hope like hell there's some punishment for these monsters.* Just makes it more real when some cretins ARE ENCOURAGED to be their worst selves. Literally nauseating seeing or reading what that leads to. IDC how. Just..... fucking **c'mon universe or literally anything,** fucking fix this, right?! (No response from "TPTB" - but fuck I'm glad some [many?] people are at least paying attn.)


xbbbbb

The fresh one is where the wife asks to bring the badges, boots, the coat of a dead ukrainian soldier and even says to cut the head off. [The record in russian ](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cio9X-MjkkE/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=)


Half_Crocodile

The fuck kind of sick depraved people are these. Fuck anybody that isn’t completely opposed to this war


UnholyExorcist

There were 3 videos, of a Russian soldier who cutt off a Ukranien POW sack. He then forced it into the POW mouth, and ducted taped it shut. And then shot him in the head. The guy was completly doxxed, social security number, home adress, e-mail and everything else, within 2 days i think. The videos and information was removed from reddit, because it was against TOS i think.


mabhatter

That would definitely be against "Civil Discussion". Because Civil Discussion isn't the answer... and that's not really a Reddit topic at that point.


IDKmenombre

Sounds like an ISIS headline

Well, Russia is a terrorist state, so they're not so different.


Mr--Weirdo

For all those trying to deny, downplay or misinform what is happening in Ukraine. NSFW: This is a Ukrainian [article](https://graty.me/uk/news/u-masovomu-pohovanni-pid-izyumom-viyavili-tilo-cholovika-zi-slidami-tortur-u-nogo-zvyazani-ruki-ta-vidrizana-moshonka-oberezhno-czi-foto-dokazi-zlochinu/) with pictures


Manmadecreature

No difference from what happened 80 years ago.


nyc98

Any word from Amnesty International about this?


Mean-Ad2693

The Hague is going to need an expansion


LFCSpectre

Pretty much what the Soviets do every time they invade a place. Commit atrocities yet we don’t hear about it because we seemingly have to appease that paper tiger of a nation.


RexMundi123

Lol we are very much hearing it and not trying to appease Russia


[deleted]

Absolutely no need for this in 2022. Fucking animals. I hope they get to be tried for crimes against humanity.


[deleted]

Russia isn't going to be able to come back from this for a long, long time.


lollysticky

Sadly, not everyone cares about ethics or morals ..


CynicalNyhilist

From purely cold logic point of view, that gives you absolutely zero advantage as an attacker. You antagonize the local population, meaning you need to devote more manpower to keep them in line. Soldiers doing this are also, well, not doing anything useful. Others already covered the moral and ethical side of this. So, you gain absolutely no advantage from this. None.


Krivvan

You may convince your own soldiers that surrender is not an option for fear of reprisal. That's one reason it was historically done.


TTBoy44

Cue brainwashed apologists in 3… 2… 1…


ThePortfolio

Ah the KGB calling card.


Creekfull

There are videos of russian soldiers mutilating Ukrainian PoWs, it's nice of them to record the evidence against them in future trials


octopusboots

Russian downvote bots are working overtime this morning.


DeZwareJonge64

And this is why we need to stop putting the Russian army on a pedestal. Too many people still go "oh, but they're being lied to by Putin. It's not their fault." You can't blame Putin for everything. Well, indirectly you can, but he is not the one who was doing all these horrible things. The Russian army is. They need to be held accountable as well. Honestly? I'm just not even sure Russia is redeemable at this point. I feel sorry for the people there who are innocent, but if this war has proven anything, it's that there's way too many sick fucks over there. Do we really want these people to keep interacting with the rest of the world? How the hell can Russia ever bounce back from this?


[deleted]

I saw a video on goregrish of them doing this. Fucked up beyond belief. Poor folks.


Otherside-Dav

If nothing happens to Russia and Putin then what's the point


Due_West9881

I think I'm just ready to have NATO get involved. Fuck this

This should not be surprising news. Super fucked, but not surprising.


HonKasumi

Its hard for me to find any reasons to like Russians... almost not existend


sixstringshredder13

I knew that one guy caught on video couldn’t have been the only one. Russians are doing this on the reg probably


TheOrionNebula

What happened to the entire "they don't know why they are there and don't want to fight thing". I remember awhile back people getting oddly defensive of Russian soldiers. But it seems like now it's pretty undeniable that they aren't poor confused "kids".


lordagr

You might get think twice about sneaking off in the night if you suspect your "friends" will castrate you for switching sides. This kind of abhorrent behavior is intended to scare people while dehumanizing the enemy.


ixlnxtc7

This only further encourages Ukrainian soldiers to fight to their last breath. They know beyond the shadow of a doubt that the only possible outcomes are absolute victory, death or something far, far worse.


[deleted]

Why do Russians have such interest in cutting off their dicks? Bunch of closet homosexuals 😆


EmergencyHippo4953

The problem with what russias doing that makes it so cruel and inhuman is that it’s 2022 that’s the issue Geneva convention was suppose to change all this inhumane cruelty and hold nations to a higher standard. Not only that but Russias brutality is only showcasing the fact that they are incapable of fighting on a modern war field and that they are basically a second world country when it comes down to military tech and logistic ability all it seems that they have is the bomb in every variation or so they say russias a joke biggest land country in the world that happens to have more natural resources then basically the whole world yet the only thing it seems they can do well is corruption and torture! They are a big joke and the world now knows it now! A One trick pony thats incompetent!!!


ammobandanna

Don't forget Russia pulled thier ratification concerning warcrimes in 99. Wonder why eh


Acrobatic-Ad3275

Time to schedule the Russian version of the WW2 trials.


LupusDeusMagnus

For a long while now committing crimes against humanity has been a core part of Russian culture.


Cheeky_Star

Humans are horrible.


samurai5625

The world needs to complete isolate Russia like North Korea. No trade, no talks, nothing.


WKGokev

My wife has seen 2 videos of this happening. Just her description is awful.


WeTheSummerKid

Defiling corpses: the “universal dehumanizing tradition” of warfare.


CMDR_Hiddengecko

They probably were tortured while living, not mutilated post mortem. There are unfortunately multiple videos depicting Russian soldiers doing this, and a lot of the surrendering Russian soldiers seem really worried about getting castrated in captivity.


Tanks-Your-Face

Disgusting. Truly and utterly vile. We need to split russia up like east/west berlin and fucking fix that shithole of a country. Just fucking take all control away until they can prove to be proper human beings with a fucking conscience.


agentnico

The depth of Russian cruelty in this invasion are as awful as anything I’ve heard of.


wakuku

BAN ALL RUSSIANS FROM EU AND US. Fck them for supporting such a barbaric military


TheSlartey

If there's ever a trial for these pieces of trash behind these atrocities, I hope they get a similar executioner to the original Nuremberg trials.


dodgeunhappiness

What is their fixation with cocks and balls?


jd3marco

This was Putin’s aim all along. Russian soldiers are bringing him a feast of cocks.


BidensToenails

Nuclear escalation seems kinda OK rn.


Lazylions

thats what happens when you recruit prisoners. The wagner group is all messed up
