    I thought the Russians were indiscriminately killing everyone.

    Why would these 'NATO Officers' (we love our 'observers', don't we folks?) think they would get safe passage from the 'savage hordes'? Especially considering that they are aiding a country currently at war with the one they are negotiating with?

    Unless they know a lot of it is horseshit

      Probably because they know they have a chance to get out if they think the russians might want to avoid a PR mess by not "Savagely Murdering innocent civilized democratic European Nato Peacekeepers." I mean good luck to them, they will probably need it LOL!

        Eh just drop a shell on their heads and say "there were enemy combatants there", which isn't a lie anyways.

            What got a bunch of my friends to understand that was standing outside our apartment complex and having them answer the question of how many "military aged males" lived there and if the US was to bomb that complex would that number reported without any other context make the attack look justified

          Yeah I doubt the russians will trust the west to give them credit for anything at this point.
