I don’t know why I keep watching these, fucking war is brutal as fuck.

Definitely want Ukraine to have all its land back and Ruzzia can go fuck itself for all the atrocities they continuously spread across the world.

But not all these soldiers are war criminals, often the people dieing in this grinder are the least responsible for what their country or army is doing.

Hopefully all this death eventually comes home to roost with those who are responsible for Putins pointless war.

Very very few combatants ever choose war as a solution. History shows that it’s a choice made by those that never do any actual fighting, nor share in any risks of that decision, either.

These so-called leaders are always the ones that have sent our children to die to/kill each other. Everything else is propaganda.

War serves only profit itself and is never a “solution” without someone secretly standing to gain from it.

Perhaps, but still infinitely more responsible than any person who isn’t actively participating in the Russian invasion, which all of these guys definitely were.

They literally are war criminals. They’re participating in an invasion for no cause other than boosting Putin’s ego.

And I’ve seen the propaganda advertisments in Russia “Go to war, support your country” and “Go to war, gives good money, support your family” and such.

Invading another country without cause makes you literally a war criminal. It is really … that simple. Russia is literally a terrorist state at that moment. They’ve killed hundreds of civilians, thousands of Ukrainian fighters as well. Putting mines all over the place. Crippling and injuring so many other fighters and civilians as well. Sent terrorist groups.

If you’re participating in such war, you are a war criminal. You can kill yourself. you can abandon your unit. You can bribe your commanders. You can run away before all this even starts. But by the moment you’re invading another country and you’re killing innocent people who have done NOTHING to you, you’re a war criminal. It is really … that simple. Coz it’s “either I save myself or I kill these innocent people”. That’s a war criminal mindset coz it makes it seem as if you’re a good guy in your mind. When you’re not.

Clips like this remind me of how unfair war is. 4 russians vs 1 Ukrainian soldier. Those russians were never making it out alive.

Pretty brutal.

But also, those shots at the beginning where you can see a tank fire, and then see the shockwave from the round itself disrupt the grass as it flies over was one of the coolest bits of military footage that I’ve seen in a while.

Слава Україні.

The absolute chaos of trench warfare. Most of them didn’t even realized what hit them.
