Personally I don't think anyone deserves getting shot at, blown up or tortured but I'm very fucking close to making an exception for dipshits like this.
Yeah I mean I guess he got to experience what it's like to be on the receiving end of a modern military force so there's a certain karma to it.
It's about as deserved as possible, being caused entirely by own stupidity
He went to a place with explosions and he got out alive. If anything he's lucky. Many others should have had his luck.
I saw a thread on worldnews where a Russian POW was saying he'd been ordered to massacre civilians.
Someone pointed out that if it was true he'd have no reason to say it and he may have been tortured.
The response was that Ukraine would never ever torture a POW, because it'd risk losing their international goodwill; any torture occuring in Ukraine is being done by the evil Russians.
I immediately thought of this but I'm banned so I could not say anything.
Pretty sure if you're having pows making statements that go beyond listing their name/rank/whatever, especially publically - internationally as well - then I do believe you're in violation of the Geneva conventions because any statements made by pows publically were in the past either coerced or made by fake prisoners
Libs have already made excuses for that numerous times "Well yes it technically violates the rules governing war BUT [...]" (Usually the explanation is extenuating circumstances warrant it).
There's one video where they supposedly caught a russian pilot POW and called his wife to tell her they're going to castrate him and for her to look for a new husband. I wonder if that violates any laws.
pretty sure that's another warcrime, you're not supposed to harrass family members of soldiers.
That's warcrime-ception. Committing a warcrime (calling his wife) threatening to commit another warcrime (inhumane torture). And that's just with the cameras rolling...
:sadness-abysmal:
Hey remember how The US said every statement from US POW’s in Vietnam couldn’t be taken at face value even tho most stuck with their claims years later?
I spent the next three years in a POW camp, forced to subsist on a thin stew made of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the States, but they just can't get the spices right!
Love how the part about torture is just sliding by without much note

It's certainly an interesting contrast to all those videos you see of "captured Russian soldiers" on Reddit with thousands of upvotes.
Like hm interesting perhaps there's no proof they're Russian at all. And uh I'd they are in think the lovely videos of them being givin good and a phone are the exception to the more common torture.
It's a much different experience when the playing field is even
Reminds me of the story of the guy who went to Ukraine to fight only to return home a few days later when he found out war zones were too dangerous.
