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.

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.

Chavez should have gone full Leninist with democratic centralism, the global north sanctions Venezuela anyway

wtf lolmao - I say as I cringe to death

What I've seen from local liberal media about the most recent act of genocidal mass murder by Israel is that they try to frame it as a retaliations for Hamas rockets, that unfortunately accidentally killed civilians.

Deranged

holy fuck is it exhausting to talk to redditbrained liberals IRL

I made the mistake to actually engage in a discussion about politics, and all the greatest hits came out -- and the worst, most frustating thing about this that I was treated like the weirdo, and I didn't even get into the "more controversial" topics

You think socialism is good? How do you explain Pol Pot then?!

They were literally propped up by the USA/CIA it's not even controversial at this point. [then they looked at me like I said grey aliens killed Princess Diana]

Well Israel's reaction is understandable, Khamas murdered and raped civilians you see

... Israel killed literally 100x as many civilians

If you are a moral person, you must condemn Putin's invasion of a sovereign country

Well, USA also invaded sovereign countries, and almost nobody gave a shit

That was a long time ago

The US war criminals are literally golfing as we speak

But Ukraine did nothing they were just minding their own business

wellll, except UKR did shell civilians in Donbass

Have you been brainwashed by Ruzzian propaganda?

Putin wants to bring back the Sovyet Yunyon, and the whole point of the USSR was Russian world domination

What? THe USSR wasn't even a Russian ethnostate? what the fuck are you talking about?

Where did the so called revolution start? St Petersburg! Where is St Petersburg? Russia! It was a Russian plot for world domination

I guess you also think that the Holodomor was good

... Not even Western liberal historians (with a few neocon exceptions) believe that there was a genocide there

So you DENY the HOLODOMOR??!?!

As I said, not even Western liberal historians (with a few neocon exceptions) believe that there was a genocide there, unlike what Churchill did to starve Bangladesh, that is actually well documented

Well we also condemn THAT

Yet you curiously never bring it up, but if someone mentions anything remotely Russian you start harping about the "Holodomor", and "Soviet-Russian imperialism"....

So you actually DENY the Holodomor? Like people would just LIE?! And the GULAGS were good?!?!

You see the GULAG was not a unique phenomenon, at the same time Africa was full of concentration camps run by the Fr*nch and the Bri'ish

But they did NOT put THEIR OWN people in camps! Putting your own people in camps is the WORST

I give up, I'm afraid it's a terminal case of brainworms

Peak liberal investigative journalism

Every civilian death is a tragedy.

When liberals are yelling about sanctioning Russia and sending weapons to Israel consider this:

• In 20 months there were 9600 civilian fatalities in Ukraine according to the UN (1179 killed in the first month, I think this counts both sides)
• In 3 weeks at least 8000 Palestinian civilians were murdered by the IOF

The civilian murder rate of Israel is 24x that of Russia.

Sorry for being vulgar, but the hypocrisy, the double standards in the mainstream discourse is... staggering to say the least. Spineless bastards.

I'm Korean. Israel and Palestinian relation is very different from South and North Korea. However, there is one similarity. While Israel and South Korea are prosperous, Palestinians and North Korea are poor and miserable. Why? It's because they spend all their energy on hate.

Can someone help me understand something?

Building vocational schools to juvenile offenders so they can integrate to larger society by getting educated - this is genocide

Moving orphans out of a warzone to orphanages where they can speak their own mother tongue, and where the orphans will get elementary education - this is clearly genocide

Building a giant open air prison for an ethnic group, depriving them of water, food, and medicine, then bombing them inordinately, murdering children - this is not genocide, it's just a rational political response to an unusual situation

Azov batallion dude with the callsign Adolf from the SS brigade - not a Nazi

A literal Waffen-SS volunteer from WW2 - not a Nazi

Greta Thunberg - she is a Nazi because she has a stuffed octopus fluffy toy

Wolfsangel, Black Sun, Totenkopf - not a symbol of antisemitism

Pink octopus toy - a clear symbol for antisemitism

Did I get this right? This is what liberals think?

It's astounding to me that liberals pretend that communism and nazism are on par:

• according to VoC style Hungarian right wing propagandist organization 700 political prisoners* were executed in Hungary during the 45 years of Hungarian communism
• while the Hungarian nazis murdered 600 000 Hungarian Jews in the Holocaust in a couple of years

The difference is in the order of magnitude is THOUSAND! 1000x more victims even compared to inflated VoC numbers.

Anticommunism is basically holocaust denial.

edit, forgot to mention the obvious: many many of that 700 executed were nazis

somebody actually did splice together of the video when the Chinese tank goes around the guy, and on the other side is from the BLM protests when a cop card just drives into the crowd
