There are people praising the deaths of people/wanting the deaths of soldiers (Maybe not on this thread, but posting here to be sure). We've let this run long enough, because we were treating both sides equally, but it ends now. This applies on all Ukraine war threads (this part will be reposted...

Russia seems to be slowly advancing. Can they keep it up is the question.

In fairness, if we added all the chunks of the true cross together, we'd end up with a baker's dozen. As for the amount dead, that makes this practically a decapitation strike against the Russian Navy, given that it was a Flagship. Although given the quality of Russian sailors, that may or may...

Good on the Russian soldiers who showed human decency during a horrific time. Yes, they hypothetically could have done more, but to basically go against orders and resist your own side? That requires uncommon bravery. To few people will stand up to people on their own side, and in war, that...

It'd be nice if they could remove China and the UAE but it's a start at least. Maybe they could start by having Mauritania start cracking down on slavery? The UNHRC is a joke and should have been abolished awhile ago.

No, just because you can't comprehend motives doesn't mean it didn't happen. You are assuming people are acting rationally in war, but they absolutely don't. There was no rational reason to piss on prisoners in Abu Graihb, but they did. There was no rational reason to do the holocaust, but they...

Yeah, that's a fake. Took me about 20 seconds to find that it was a fake: https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/truth-or-fake/20220228-are-russians-using-mobile-crematoriums-in-ukraine When even snopes isn't blaming the Russian's, you're going to need better evidence. Now a useful list of...

Could you link evidence of this Like photo evidence?

Is there any evidence for the crematoriums? Other than people saying so? It implies way too much planning on what has otherwise been an very badly planned operation. It just doesn't fit.

Degenerating people for nationality is not allowed on this site. Yes, this means using slurs even to refer to bad people, such as Nazis, murderers, genociders, rapists, etc. This rule exists to keep a level of calm discussion on this forum (hence being a civility rule), not to protect precious...

No, honestly, when they do do things like arming/training forces in hostile places, it's usually the Green Berets to do training, not sending higher ups to help. And then they'd be long gone by now (seriously, the risk v to the US just simply isn't worth it). Now for this situation, I don't even...

Great work by the NYT, for once. The video comparing the satellite image on March 19 to the bodies on in the video of Bucha is a great way to verify everything. This seems to be verification:

Previously captured people, for example. Or people who resisted while in the house (Russian troops seemed to have wanted to kill them outside for some reason?). It's weird, but not as weird as the alternate hypothesis: Ukraine posing a bunch (fairly new, looking at some of the pictures) dead...

There's even less of a chance of that happening than Russia doing it to themselves. Eh, as for Ukraine, it's not a backing off of claiming it (if it was, I'd agree with you), it's a clear claim that they aren't claiming it. My guess is that someone either a) thought it was way too good of an...

Eh, the official statement is that they can neither confirm nor deny that they were responsible (the no information seems to not reflect what's there)...

If true, that's a war crime. I mean, saying surrender now or Thermobaric? That's not a war crime. But offering actual "no quarter" is. I wouldn't be surprised if this is happening, I would be surprised if Russia is actually just boldly announcing war crimes like that (which is why I doubt that...

So I found this article from @planefag's google doc, google translated it, and it's pretty good listing what casualties the Russian's claim they have: That's 9861 people killed, 16,153 injured, according to Russia. That's more than the coalition forces lost in Iraq and Afghanistan combined...

No, I just hate him in particular cause he was part of the crazy suppression of LGBTs in Chechenia (full put gays into camps, torture them, not the bullshit that's whined about in the west about not teaching gay sex to kids). I'd feel the same way if someone who lead the Azov battalion died...

This is the biggest spin job ever by China. It's like a frog in a pot, I think. Regardless, any updates on Magomed Tushaev? The Chechen General reported dead about 3 days ago? I didn't find anything saying he was still alive or confirming death, so I'm guessing dead (because otherwise RT would...

No prob about the wait. And it's not that I'm expecting them to have completely fallen, but not getting Kiev? They got there in like the first two days when that's a priority target. Then they've been trying to take it for the rest of the week. They've been basically winning because of...
