FT Reports A Ukrainian Warcrime

The willful killing of unarmed soldiers, especially when there is a good chance of taking them prisoners, is certainly a war crime.

It is astonishing that Christopher Miller of the Financial Times reports of it without further comment.

How Ukraine pulled off its biggest gamble: invading Russia (archived) - Financial Times, Aug 12, 2024

As Volodymyr prepared to enter Russian territory, adrenaline ran through his veins. It was not lost on him that 81 years ago, another battle in Russia’s Kursk region marked a turning point for Europe. ... “We entered Russian territory for the first time at 1pm on Tuesday [August 6],” Volodymyr said. “We were among the first to enter there.”

To his astonishment, his unit faced no resistance as their eight-wheeled, 20 tonne US Stryker fighting vehicle stormed across the border in broad daylight.

They soon encountered a Russian unit “sitting in the forest, drinking coffee at a table”, Volodymyr recalled. “Then our Stryker drives right into their table.

“We killed many of them on the first day,” he said. “Because they were unarmed and didn’t expect us.”

Not wanting to end up like their comrades, he added, “dozens” of stunned Russian soldiers simply laid down their weapons and surrendered.

"81 years ago, another battle in Russia’s Kursk region marked a turning point for Europe," writes Miller. He and others should consider what that really means. If I remember correctly, the German fascists and their Ukrainian allies also committed war crimes - and lost the fight.

The Asiatic RuZZians do suicidal human wave attacks
The heroic Ukrainians do brilliant surprise offensives on unrelated fronts that regular brained people simply can't comprehend

great man Biden

This would be wrong even if it was a 60-year-old Biden, but the senile Biden of nowadays is incapable of running a hot dog stand, let alone an empire.
Who is "telling" Kamala not to touch "Biden's" foreign policy? The DNC illuminati?
Besides no one needs to "tell" Kamala to do anything*, she is deep in the shitlib power elite groupthink.

So surely it must be satire, right?

*Well, obviously she has advisors but the advisors themselves are also deep down in the very same shitlib ideological common sense muck. The Imperial tectonics is acting through them, rather than them leading on their own.

The screenwriters are jumping the shark with this one that's for sure.
Hard to maintain the suspension of disbelief that 3 semi-amateurs blew up transnational under sea pipelines "in tandem".

According to German authorities, Volodymyr Z. and two others approached the driver of the German-flagged yacht Andromeda, which docked in the northern island of Rügen.

ARD reported that Volodymyr Z. directed the driver out to the location of the pipeline, and two of the three suspects donned diving gear and went underwater.

The driver has reportedly identified Z. from a photo array shown to him by police. According to the report, a white van suspected of being used to transport diving material was caught on a traffic camera on Rügen in September 2022 with a passenger "strongly resembling Z."

Following questions as to why Poland did not honor the European arrest warrant within the required 60 days, a spokeswoman for the public prosecutor's office said that the suspect had fled to Ukraine before they could do so. She said they had serched his resident outside Warsaw, but he was already gone.

Imagine you're a liberal journalist working at one of the largest news sites in your country, then you write an article like this.
Most liberals are technocrats and they like to pretend to be professionals.

How can you take yourself seriously after covering Nord Stream in western journals, and not sounding the alarm bells that this is complete and utter bullshit? Even worse for Germans, this could be considered treason, at least in some sense.
How are their heads not exploding from the cognitive dissonance?

I think that absurd line held in mainstream media for what, maybe two or three months until ~~it was untenable~~ regular people forgot Nord Stream even existed

Nearly two years after the Nord Stream pipelines sabotage, German authorities have reportedly issued an arrest warrant.

The suspect, a Ukrainian national, was named only as Volodymyr Z. for privacy reasons.

Imagine that Putin decided to retire for whatever reason and there was an election between let's say Lavrov and Medvedev.
Libs would make fun of the sham democracy of Russia right?
While they justify it in the USA

mind boggling

It still amazes me that the general public/mainstream media just forgot about Nord Stream like nothing happened or it never even existed.

This is like undeniable proof of the invented reality of the western public consciousness.

No real investigation by journalists (apart from Hersh), western state agencies said they'll drop the case, walk away, nothing happened.

I bet that at least half of liberals never even heard the official cover story and they still think it was Putler.

Mindblowing.
