    Oh no, won't somebody please do something to help protect those *checks notes* mercenaries who traveled into a warzone by choice in order to kill

    Get fucked. Personally i would hope for DPR officials to suspend their death penalty and order them to help rebuild Mariupol for i dunno, like a decade or 2. Then they can have back the freedom they volunteered to abandon so they, again, could go kill people in another country

    Then again, i didn't spend the last 8 years getting shelled and tortured and hunted for sport by the nazi fucks these guys joined up with so i won't judge the DPR too harshly if they just give em the wall. If the wall is good enough for billionaires (and it is) then it's good enough for foreign mercs who chose to fight with azov

        Honestly that makes it worse in my eyes

        That means that they didn't join up as a part of the recent hysteria to help save smol bean Ukraine from that mean ol bully Putler, they joined up to terrorize the people of Donbass for most likely ideological reasons

        Yeah i know i'm just speculating and i'll admit to not being very charitable here, but why tf else would somebody have joined then? Unless it really was just pure bloodlust.

        Whatever, live by the sword die by the sword. Fuck pedantic rules lawyering, esp when the enforcement of those rules is so one sided and punishment is pretty much nonexistent for all the worst war crimes in modern history

        Yeah, obviously you'd have to do like work gangs with a bunch of prisoners with armed guards, and that would be a pain in the ass to manage and probably could wind up backfiring. Labor will be needed to rebuild tho. Tough call

        I kinda expect there might wind up being prisoner swaps that will make this whole debate moot, but who knows?
