one more video showing what kind of scums are russian soldiers.
russian invaders dragged a captured and wounded Ukrainian soldier to their position and using him as a human shield so that Ukrainian artillery doesn't shell their position.
He did a good job killing Jews, women and children. When is Hitler's birthday in April? Remind usView attachment 52098

Russian sources are saying that cellphones (used by recruits stationed there) were used by Ukrainians to locate this target.
Yah well good luck getting that enforced in "special operation" narrative Kremlin has pushed on Russia (and continues to blanket with)....without significant whoopsie cognitive dissonance and worse involved....given Russian psyche (being pulled and strained in different directions for last 30+ years) already.
Play stupid (casual easy narrative) games, win stupid prizes...
They stuck in this mess of their own grey making of saying one thing, trying to do another.... and all the consequences of having this dissonance come with time to rule the roost with interest.
For Ukraine the goal is very clear and the butter is very clear on one side of the bread...for basic survival as nationstate.
The proverb of the hunting dog getting whipped by its master.....as to why it let the rabbit get away.....the dog pleading "you must understand I chased it for your sport.....but the rabbit was running for its life!".
i.e (your) casual ego approach being trivial in face of the others stark life/death.
Being single-minded is important in these things of life and death....two or three minded from the ego buffer you feel you have... just gets you the worse results.
For Ukraine there is no "how many lights are there?" tortured struggle session (that Russians increasingly face).... like seen for example with the Cardassians and Picard. Getting a painful zap each time you answer its four you see, from the one that says five it must be.
The thing is Russia has made it so clear that they want to take Ukraine because its in their interests to take their old lands back while getting as much warm water ports.
Russia also has plans to dominate the black sea.
Russians came into this war thinking it will be like 2014 and 2015.
Russians plan of ending this war in days and weeks is over its become like ww1's own the war will finish this christmas.
Now the war is reaching its 1st year with no end in sight. If Ukraine does actually drive the Russians out completely especially Crimea will risk going deep into Russian territory.
Now imagine if the Ukrainians do actually go deep into Russian territory but it will also come at a huge cost.
The performance of Ukraine has actually surprised so many while Russia got exposed for being frauds.
If Russia cares so much about it all truly, it would call it for what it is (see how you mention war and objectives)....rather than the vague BS piecemeal muddy slop they came up with (denazify special operation blah blah) and now want to struggle in and have to scout and coerce "hey didnt you say this before, wtf....I didnt sign up for this" folks to put into meat grinder as it endures.
i.e ego blab inevitably turning into "F around and find out" result.
But they obviously didnt and dont care enough about it, they had to disguise and warp it worrying about their narrative-sell and ego-retention with larger population of Russia.... thinking it will be quick easy win given the powerful anywhere in general tend to huff their own gas too much.
i.e "wait just a rootin tootin minute here" stuff from plebs and peasants....that would have likely snuffed out much if not all of the kremlins asserted cassus belli to begin with.
There is a severe psyche disjoint in Russia in the end and its been getting worse over the many decades.
If US called the war it had in Iraq for what it was (rather than the garbage WMD false flag excuse), it would have likely never started either (as feedback loop allowed to operate) and lot of last 20 years would be significantly different. Just like if US establishment was hypothetically more honest+transparent on the matter regarding the Gulf of Tonkin too and searched for actual based decision making reference on it outside just power corridors.
Russia though simply has nowhere near the hard (or soft) power the US had and has, only some small fraction of it.....so the pain arrives a lot quicker and harder (and cannot be absorbed and even laundered like can be done by the US with its buffer). The phenomenon basically scales to Russia's context in the end. They are learning this the hard way.
