Never mind all the times Russian and China have financed and outright interfered in our elections plus Mexico and Canada. Yes boys and girls it is not just the US that does it. EVERYONE does it. Even our friends try to influence our elections.
And been butchering them the whole time.Why the big deal ?
Russia's had their fingers in the ukrainian pie over 300 years one way or another.
What, you don't like mass starvation?And been butchering them the whole time.
Americans have been spoiled by precision guided munitions and minimizing civilian casualties. We haven't fought a peer adversary since 1945 and all anyone really understands anymore is fighting desert people and cave dwellers while taking minimal losses. If and when we fight China this country is in for a wake up call.All I saw was good old fashioned war being fought, kinda how we won WWII and why we haven't won a war since then . When you play by rules and they other side doesn't you always end up losing .
Which friends would that be?Never mind all the times Russian and China have financed and outright interfered in our elections plus Mexico and Canada. Yes boys and girls it is not just the US that does it. EVERYONE does it. Even our friends try to influence our elections.
My dad was a Marine and he told me war was hell...I absolutely agree that there could always be more to the story for anything we see in the media or even raw chunks of video. The russians could have even been trying to trick them. I personally don't think I could pull the tank trigger if I could see them surrendering but I didn't even watch the vid and was responding on principle.I gave you a like for your reasoned response. There is, however, an important 75% of what went on not exposed in the video. What, if anything, did the tank commander say over his loudspeaker to those soldiers waving the white flag(s)? If those waving what appears to be white flags refused to respond to the tank commander's orders, that right there is good cause to eliminate the enemy and avoid falling for some form of trickery, or a trap, or a mine.
Just out there speculating and harvesting food for thought. There is likely a whole lot more to this and any other such similar events on either side.
I hold firmly to my initial assessment.

The "new" Ukrainian gov't and the way it came to be started a civil war in the East of Ukraine that raged on since 2014 or so...Zelinsy continued this policy when he was elected. Russia among other things requested this to stop as it was happening right on their border and 10's of thousands of ethnic Russians have died as well as Ukrainians in that conflict before the invasion ever occurred.How did Zelinsky attack ethnic Russians almost a decade prior to becoming president?
