Yeah, there's that.

But it also shows the the level of atrocities being committed by Russian troops (Wagner included).

I have to ask, how can human beings commit such acts? Are they drug-enabled?

Ukrainian soldiers are guessing that the prisoner/soldiers are drugged up right before being forced into battle.

"I have to ask, how can human beings commit such acts? Are they drug-enabled?"

What drugs do you have in mind here? Is there some super soldier drug I'm unaware of which causes people with a conscience to not have one?
I think you're missing it.

Soldiers in particular (and police) practice to kill people by -- wait for it -- training to kill people.
In WWI they trained conscripts on bullseye targets. Some of them later couldn't bring themselves to shoot another person.
This was properly attributed to a lack of training, and soldiers began training on life-size targets like you see in Dirty Harry.

So, this isn't hard. Most anyone could learn to do it.

How could you kill drugged up Russian conscripts, who are quite literally as much a victim as anyone in this war?

I bet you could find a way.

Now the Russians say the Ukies have used chemical weapons in Bakhmut

Will they be held accountable by the West if it's true?

My Guess is No.

#12 | Posted by Effeteposer at 2023-02-07 10:32 PM | Reply

My guess is the Russians are lying which they do every time they open their mouths or put out any statement. The result is no one believes them. No matter what. No matter if they actually saying something that may be true. That's the cost for being liars.

We learn that early here. We have a great story about the boy who cried wolf. Perhaps you've heard it in Russia?

"The Russians" say a lot of things.

But how much of what Pres Putin has said is true? Really. It is a serious question.

And as a side question, why doesn't your alias seem to be at all concerned about the atrocities committed by the Russian troops?

I mean, really.

PoohtyFluffer cares plenty. Don't you remember when he blamed NATO for Russians raping Ukrainian women?

Everything is the fault of Ukrainians and NATO. Nothing is the responsibility of Poohty or the Russians commiting genocide and war crimes.

Do try to make sense.

I've seen, based upon the prior posts of your alias, that "making sense" may be a challenge for you.

But, continue to try to attain that goal.

Thx.

What IS making sense in Lamplighter's narrow version of permissible and "relevant" discourse?

Are you the thread moderator now?

I would think credible accounts of war crimes by either side are "relevant" if the truth is what is being sought after.

Or are you only interested in the things you want to hear?

@#25 ... Are you the thread moderator now?

In a prior life, I was a thread moderator for a message board..

I do not wish that task upon anyone.

(major kudos to RCade. for what he does here. Really. Take a bow. I've been there, done that. Decided to do other things. But I digress)

And, to your point, RCade has not given me that moderator ability. (and I thank him for that.[1])

... I would think credible accounts of war crimes by either side are "relevant" if the truth is what is being sought after. ...

So, you think that Pres Putin, in his unprovoked invasion of a sovereign country, is allowed to send missiles into apartment buildings?

Apartment buildings in areas of Ukraine that he has forced Russia to "annex" for his ego?

If your alias wants to talk about "credible accounts," I am all for that.

Here's a start...

Pro-Putin operatives in Germany work to turn Berlin against Ukraine
www.reuters.com

...In Germany some are clamouring for a change in course on Ukraine. Key figures in the campaign have links to the Russian state or far right, a Reuters investigation has found....

Yer up.

1 - back in the late 1970's when I first learned of message boards, the moderator of one of the boards told me... ~you don't want to moderate a message board. It consumes you.~ Foolishly, I ignored his advice and decided to moderate a message board. I now regret my decision. Again, major kudos to RCade.

Lyrics...

Morning Much Better - Ten Wheel Drive lyrics
interlyrics.com

...How many times have I told you baby that I'd do anything you say,
But listen here Daddy I got a new feeling that you can't do me this way.
Ain't said no to your love and never did and never never plan to do
But if you want to keep me happy, baby, better hear what I'm saying to you.

Coming to night I might dig being up for floating around on a cloud
Watching people walking past my window playing my music out loud
Coming to noon I can't think about nothing but the daylight blazing through
And the afternoon is a no count time cause I got my business to do
Well I could probably function for a little conjunction, yeah
But I usually like it in the morning much better, yeah


...

Fun tune...

:)

And. fwiw, people posting song lyrics, as I did in #27 is one of the reasons why I Do Not Want To Be A Moderator of a message board.

There are just too many weirdos, like me, for instance.

"Morning Much Better," yeah cool stuff. They don't write lyrics like that anymore.....

I know you guys figured it would last 3 days. That's tough.

Almost a year now.

And the hits keep coming.

I think it would boost moral if this guy,, what's his name,,, Mr. Vladimir T. Pudding Esquire or whatever,,, posed shirtless on a horse or suited up in hockey gear and then the Russian national team moved out of the way so he could score a goal on them.

Can you imagine the mess Ticker Carlstone would make in his pants over such a display of masculinity?

The war would be over in a matter of minutes.

By the way.

The police in the US use chemical weapons on civilians on a daily basis.

Can we investigate that too?

#34 | Posted by tres_flechas at 2023-02-08 10:58 AM | Reply

So the answer is no? If Russia was credibly accused of using gas or chemical weapons you guys would be apesh*t about it. But you refuse to even consider that this could be true if the Russians say it.

So much for really caring about war crimes,you only care about Russian war crimes.

That's why you give Nazis a pass in Ukraine even though they make you look inconsistent and stupid.

Considering they are defebding their own nation against an unprovoked invader I would say hell no! The Ukrainians have no responsibility to abide by rules the Russians have totally ignored. IMHO, any way the Ukrainians can kill the invaders is perfectly acceptable, and I saY That. fully knowinf, Russians are violating the Geneva conventions daily in their illegal invasion of Ukraine. Look up the treaty of 1992 stupid! Russia pronised to never invade Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine giving up nuclear weapons. Russia is a terrorist nation deserving of the united wrath of NATO to permanently destroy their military....and all of their RUSSIAN TROLLS Like Effeteliar.
