Give ‘em the Migs. Send them from Ramstein.
Hopefully this was some sort of special death squad and not BAU for the general Russian army.
I hope that junior Nazi chokes to death.
I don’t understand the “seemingly” part in the tweet. Hands were tied behind their backs and they were shot.
I know it wouldn't help, but I kind of want Zelensky to sneak a pistol in and shoot that mfer right between the eyes.There is some breathless reporting that Putin and Zelensky may meet in Turkey. The Turks seem to be pushing this as they attempt to position themselves as peace brokers. Hopefully there is something to this, but the Ukrainians are not going to accept any loss of territory, and at this point I cannot see Putin agreeing to meet in person with Zelensky. In his eyes he'd be lowering himself, and he'd be losing prestige at home.
It’s hard to argue. There’s never been a good Russia, where they took care of their people and weren’t expansionist in nature.This is who they are and all we'd have is a broken historical record like we have with major atrocities like the Gulag if not for the internet in 2022. The means justifies the end for Russia, but this one can't be swept under the rug or into mass graves
I take "ever" to mean generations. Germany and Japan made it back with assistance from the victors who oversaw the regime changes. Even if Putin is toppled as a result of this, how easily is Russia forgiven if thepeopleoligarchs who stood behind Putin until now take over if all they've done is withdrawn from Ukraine?
Why is this not being reported on the MSM? Not seeing it anywhere and it makes me angry.

Agree but if you need a good news source, BBC has been excellent IMOWhy is this not being reported on the MSM? Not seeing it anywhere and it makes me angry.
They have had special squads and political units. This was planned, you are right about that. A lot of the conscripts are blameless, though. I don't really feel sorry for any of them at this point, but when it comes time to hold people accountable we need to be precise.They’ve operated this way for hundreds of years
I wonder if the hand wringers who spent days working Biden over for suggesting that Putin needs to go will apologize, or just STFU?I wonder if certain someones still think this is a genius move.
I have been wondering about this ever since it was reported that Russia was starting to pull back from Kiev. Is the plan to regroup, rearm, and then cleave off the eastern third of Ukraine? Given how poorly the Russians have performed so far, I have my doubts. I don't know about now, but at the beginning of the Russian invasion 50 percent of all Ukrainian forces were in the Donbas region, and their most seasoned troops were there.
I think they desperately wanted Zelensky dead and now they’re never going to take Kyiv. Without changing the government the next move is probably to try to cut them off from the Black and Azov Seas.I have been wondering about this ever since it was reported that Russia was starting to pull back from Kiev.

Did not realize Isabelle was in Odessa. Former Washington capitals beat reporter.
Bullshit…the blood is on Putins hands.And the blood is on the hands of Westerners who have enabled them for decades.
No one is arguing that.Bullshit…the blood is on Putins hands.
I have a bad feeling we have just nicked the surface of it. I fear they murdered tens of thousands in places like Mariupol. There should be two big things that happen this week as the images and stories come out:Someone asked about the Bucha crimes against humanity story being picked up by the national media. This is the host of a Sunday morning show on MSNBC.
Yah the UN needs to end, it is so pointless.I have a bad feeling we have just nicked the surface of it. I fear they murdered tens of thousands in places like Mariupol. There should be two big things that happen this week as the images and stories come out:
1) The sanctions should be elevated and most importantly nobody in Europe and as many places as we can align should be buying Russian oil or gas a week from now.
2) The UN needs to suspend Russia from all councils. If they can’t even do that (because the have been complete boar tits this war already) it’s time for it to cease to exist.
What’s the administrations plan to make that statement happen?I wonder if the hand wringers who spent days working Biden over for suggesting that Putin needs to go will apologize, or just STFU?
The Russians undoubtably have lots of dead, way more than they’ve copped to so far.This story about Russian dead literally piling up has a note about how one pro Putin Russian news outlet stated this week that 9861 Russian soldiers were KIA. Then the story was taken down. Then they said they’d been hacked, but refused any comment or proof. Even that number was probably a little low, and it’s certainly over 10,000 by now. That is stunning for a month’s worth of combat.
Lots of stuff in the article about how the Russians are just leaving there dead behind. That has to be demoralizing for troops, and it will leave a lot of families angry due to a lack of answers.
