By the time you figure out that Russian soldiers are not like Afghani toddlers, it’s too late…

    I love the accusatory “killed by russians”, as if they were going in expecting to have a tea party with bisquits and hugs.

      Like, what did they expect? If you volunteer to kill people don’t be shocked when they kill you back.

      Yes or the other side of the coin: Were they expecting to be met on the battlefield by African soldiers? Soldiers of India? Of course they were Russian 😂

    “Volunteers” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. It implies that these were just little helpers giving aid to civilians à la Doctors Without Borders, rather than signing up to fight in a war where everyone knows that death is a guarantee. But the death is only okay when it happens to Russian soldiers, anyone else it’s suddenly senseless killing. I’m a fairly empathetic person but even I have to say that when you sign up to fight in a war don’t be surprised when you end up dead. That’s literally the whole point. Did they not think that by killing Russian soldiers the same wouldn’t be done to them? This isn’t Call of Duty, you don’t get to respawn.

      Gotta shape the narrative. Like the one git that got offed recently was repeatedly called a “medic”, to imply his death was a crime

    Let’s stop dehumanizing the Afghans. They beat the US.

    Some of them even have chins, so that’s the difference between shooting schools in USA and shooting schools in Donbass.

    Imagine giving birth to your child, caring for them during their entire life, looking out for their safety, helping them cultivate themselves and providing a nurturing environment for their studies, consoling them when they come home with bad grades, bringing tea to their bed when they are sick, and then the little shit decides to fuck off and go die in a ditch for the Empire

    Except if you named them Skyler, should have seen it coming you fucking bozo wth
