The Russians have a new EW system for individual protection - the bucket.
It was the bucket that one of the Katsaps put on his head when the Ronin launched your drone at them🔪 It didn’t help.
UPD: they write that it is not a bucket. And part of the washing machine😂
Can’t fascism and conscripts being thrown into a meat grinder both be bad? Isn’t one just a consequence of the other?
From that perspective, the fascists (Putin & co) have agency and the ability to decide their actions (attack another country), but the conscripts don’t, they’re passively „being thrown“. I strongly disagree with that point of view.
These conscripts at least partially decide to throw themselves into a meatgrinder, hoping for glory and money at the expense of the Ukrainian people. Fuck them.
Pretty sure a conscript’s motivations are avoiding prison or corporal punishment.

@downpunxx @LaFinlandia @deft @ThrowawayPermanente I dunno. They are told that if they say no, they will be shot. If they turn back, they will be shot. If they desert, they will be shot. Doesn’t sound like a lot of choice there to me.

From the fact that you’re here, should we assume your choice was to kill people?
So if someone hands you a gun and says “go kill people or I’ll shoot you” you’d choose to go murder people?
I don’t know how I’d act. That’s the point.
We can’t sit here all high and mighty saying we would or wouldn’t do something when we have no bloody idea.
That’s unfortunate but you’re not forcing me to kill anyone I don’t understand how you could force anyone to.
It is a choice fuck em hope grenades blow all the teeth out of their skull and their hands are blown off.
@deft You might if you knew that your family was going to “disappear” into the Russian prisons to be raped, tortured, or who knows what and you’d never see them again. Especially if you had small children. Russia doesn’t play at this. They will do it. I wouldn’t, you wouldn’t, but these people? It’s extreme pressure that we can’t even dream of facing.
