Be careful, This is extremely graphic. It’s also sad to think this guy could have lived an happy life, but Putin decided for him.

People really need to understand that Putin isn’t the root cause of the problems with Russia. They’ve been a brutal and imperialist state for centuries; Putin is a symptom, not the cause.
He’s not the one setting up torture sites in every occupied town, and he’s not the one doing the torturing, murdering and raping.

And in history it was always like that. Russia was called Gendarme de l’Europe!

Yup, exactly, this isn’t a new thing.
I’m in the first generation in my family for 100 years not to be either actively fighting Russian invaders or being persecuted by them because someone in the family fought them.

IMHO, Ukrainian propaganda is working badly, do not remind the peoples three things. 1st, generally, how awful and ugly the Russian was, how many people were killed due to existing this empire; 2dly, the main enemy of this empire was always Ukraine; 3d, the Russian Empire should be ruined. These theses should be broadcasting all time, as Cato the Elder repeated the phrase ‘Delenda est Carthago’.

He’s responsible for his own actions. Now he owned up to them.

I can’t even imagine feeling the desperation this guy felt, or maybe guilt. What a fucking shitshow…

Hopefully not guilt; it’d be better if the ones capable of feeling guilt for their actions actually survived this bullshit
