      All the victims of imperialism and colonialism, including Palestinians. We shouldn't think it's bad only when the people affect have white skin. Thousands of dead Palestinians civilians and children would be alive today if they had their own air defense systems to defend from Israeli airstrikes, which routinely murder entire families. At the beginning of the invasion, they used photos and imagery of Israeli airstrikes on civilian infrastructure claiming it was Ukraine; That tells you everything you need to know about the double standard taking place here.

    • @iivin4233
      @iivin4233 Рік тому

      From what I've heard they don't support it. They endure it. The kinds of wild stories Russian media floods the western information space with, they flood their own information space with doubly so. I have heard it claimed that this has lead many Russians to disengage from politics completely.
      So it was a matter of, well, if they only send volunteers and "mercenaries" why risk protesting and getting beaten half to death by riot police?
      It's not as if they could skip the protesting and just vote for new leadership either.
      There are a lot of other factors, too. There is a whole class of cities in Russia that were built by the Soviets for specific industries (and probably to colonize remote provinces).
      People in these towns depend on their industry jobs. They act like social services. If the government does not feed these cities business and keep their employees' pensions up, they will see actual political action.
      This phenomenon may be another source for the limited support for the war that we do see among Russians.
      The short version is, there are a lot of different demographics of people in Russia. You get all types, including the type that leave the country forever because they hate it so much, or who blow up railroads and recruitment offices.
      The main driving force behind the war, though, is the dictator Putin, and his many concubines that own all of Russia's industries.
      There aren't many people left in Russia who can tell these people no.

      @@karinjohansson7262 He hinted at something very wise: protest against human rights being taken away! That's a very good point, it's not a protest against the war, which could put you in jail, but an effort to protect your given rights, against the collapse of a democratic state. For example protest against laws being made, without even granting law makers the time to look into the text they have to vote on, well give their okay to. (And if you have to feel so ashamed, mixing up the vote buttons and being the only 1 NO against 99 YES, something is very fishy... Why can't there be any NO about something you had no chance to read?)
      They try to paint it as if someone was a traitor, in case he would speak out against not providing time to read it, but it's just their tactic trying to get away with it, because it's actually their duty to provide the information before it is formed into a law by voting on it. There is no functioning parliament, if the members of the parliament cannot read what they vote on. If someone doesn't even provide the time to read it, he must be very afraid in case others could read it. Someone trustworthy wouldn't behave like someone wanting to hide something, but he would want to prove his honesty by handing out the text with enough time to check it. The claim, that voters should trust it and if they don't, they are traitors, doesn't count, because even a voter being on their side should be able to read it. If it's physically to read it in time, why do they even provide it in a fraction of the time needed. So nobody can say it wasn't even handed out to vote on? Are they afraid to admit, they don't want a parliament anymore?

    I am very happy to hear that his platoon did not have the type of Commander that threatened to kill anyone who wanted to surrender. It's too bad the commander decided to continue to fight and lose his life for nothing, but I commend him for at least letting his subordinates surrender to save their own lives.

      @@vksasdgaming9472 well it doesn't do the person who is killed any good making such a dumb decision because if you are dead, you cannot be proud of your decision, because you are dead. Now if you were fighting on your own turf trying to defeat an enemy that is trying to steal your land, then I can totally understand why it would be worth trying to kill as many of the enemy as you can before you get killed yourself, but the cause that these Russian soldiers are being forced to fight for, is not worth dying for if you can help it. At least this is my opinion anyways.

    Also don't forget the fact that he did go to Ukraine with weapons in order to kill people trying to defend their country, however, so for all of his talk he's the same coward as those who stand by and accept the brutal repression of their own fellow citizens.

    Appropriate treatment of prisoners is vital. It helps ensure safety of callied prisoners and allows for exchange. And it can be much easier to capture large numbers of the enemy rather than have them fight to the death. Intelligence information is also useful as well as propaganda value. In some cases they can also work. Such as with farming to feed themselves. And there is a moral value.

      During the early years of WW2 the British treated German POW, mainly from the Luftwaffe, extremely well. The intelligence they gathered was far far more than could have been achieved by torture or treating the prisoners badly. A POW treated well will be relaxed, much more inclined to engage in conversation, and much more likely to be unguarded with their answers.

    Interesting interview. He seems to confirm what most think about Russia. Rich get richer and the poor stay poor. Most have reached a state of complacency. Just can't do anything about it so why try?. I suppose the next question is where does he go from here. If the interpretation is correct, he gave over information about troop placements that would likely cause harm to other Russians. That alone would be cause for a firing squad. Of course, just giving up is cause for death as well. He better pray that Ukraine wins the war and that Putin is eliminated. Maybe the next ruler will say this war was wrong and just do the right thing. The thing is, this guy seems to have some intelligence about him. Russia has so many natural resources that they should not be in this situation and this guy should not be in this situation.

      The way that the Russian Armed Forces and Command are set up, from the days of the Communist Cells, ensures that the average soldier knows little other than what happens at his squad level. He is usually not told anymore than what he NEEDS to know, i.e., "You will stay in this trench and repel the enemy!" Therefore it's doubtful that he gave his interrogators any useful information of immediate combat value!
