I'm completely pro-Ukraine, anti-invasion, anti-Putin. But. I can't take joy and amusement from these three conscripted young people marching obliviously to their death. The emotional tone of this post and many of its comments are fucked up.

What do you think they would have done if they weren't detected?
In your mind, what does that have to do with the emotional tone of this post?
My point is them being spotted and killed is a good thing for the Ukrainians. I'm not going to blame people for being happy about it. Also you're taking a lot of agency away from the Russians here. A not insignificant number of them are contracted rather than conscripted, especially the ones on the front.
Regardless of whether they are conscripts or mercs, the whole premise of this post is that they are deeply ignorant. And their ignorance is being exploited to the detriment of both themselves and others. These three people are clearly not people that need to be demonized (*) and dehumanized, except so that we can feel good about killing vulnerable victims on the other side before they can kill us.
*) Criticism and demonization are not the same thing. It is absolutely fair to be critical that they are not sacrificing themselves for others. To mock them as "clowns" and insist that they deserve to die for being stupid is not criticism, it's self-manipulation.
Being happy that they were stopped before they could hurt others is a few steps removed.
Man drone warfare is so crazy
How do you even survive this war as a human?
A single nuclear warhead sent to Kiev and there won't be a single loss to the Russian army. A peace offering would be on the table the next second...
Nuking a capital is just signing the death warrant for your nation.
A few years ago I'd have agreed with you.
With America firmly in Putin's pocket now and Europe dragging their feet on resistance, the possibility that they could just glass Kiev and get away with it is growing.
France would glass Moscow and St. Petersburg without a second thought. Britain would as well, but they may have US interference, same for Germany.
Exactly what happened to the Americans after Hiroshima and Nagasaki
As a Russian? Surrender.
That is all so dumb and useless... Idiots.

Nothing you can do against that, that's rough.
These dipshit Russians think they are Harry fucking Potter with their thermal cloaks? They should be for use during low-light ops, not broad daylight shit. Glad they are dead, go back to Russia you dumb fucks
