I said it before, I'll say it again:
There is only one way to stop this and that's for Ukrainian higher ups to suck it up and surrender.
Whoever thinks they can win is delusional.
Putin isn't gonna stop. Can't stop, wouldn't stop. Literally.
West will not stop egging Ukrainians either nor will they provide any real help. Because yuros need gas.
A fucking tragedy none of us probably expected to witness in out lifetimes.
It's so fucking grim, a lot of my humor is because it's just a fuckign greasy horror show and won't let up until this kikelet funny man can hammer out terms. Ukrainians can take some solace in standing and fighting a lot longer than anyone thought they would. Probably not gonna be much but cope, but good lord so many of them are gonna die in terrible ways. I can't see any win for them.
 
The 3rd Geneva Convention states that combatants which pose no threat must be treated under the provisions allotted to prisoners of war.

"In the case of armed conflict not of an international character occurring in the territory of one of the High Contracting Parties, each Party to the conflict shall be bound to apply, as a minimum, the following provisions:

(1) Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed ' hors de combat ' by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria.
To this end, the following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons:
(a) violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture;
(b) taking of hostages;
(c) outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment;

(d) the passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without previous judgment pronounced by a regularly constituted court, affording all the judicial guarantees which are recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples."

The "no active part in the hostilities" includes the inability to relay intelligence to opposing forces. If you are forced to leave them behind, they can provide the enemy with intelligence. This argument has been used time and time again in cases where special forces were under no obligation to recognize an offer to surrender as valid. It also applies to instances of combatants attempting to surrender to planes and helicopters.
Dear Mr NPC, you have failed the international law portion of the bar exam, specifically the laws of modern war section. You cannot practice law nor provide legal services, to do so is a criminal offense subject to imprisonment and fines. FYI The Internet School of Law is not an accredited school, on par with the "I made it up/Pull it out of my Ass" schools so your degree is unacceptable.

There is no "special forces" exception to any of the Geneva Conventions and never has been. The US and other countries may claim there is, but it has never been adjudicated, because any country making a claim the Geneva Conventions don't apply to "special forces" ladies would, of course, have been caught committing war crimes.
 
I was wrong before. Ukraine is The Joker and Russia is The Batman. Omg this is just like in The Dark Knight!!!!

I find it interesting how we still have people saying Russian missiles are hilariously inaccurate while simultaneously lamenting that same accuracy that has resulted in at least 200 confirmed kills in the past week.
Russia simultaneously can't hit an airstrip but can hit specific buildings.
The problems with the picture of that airport getting hit was it was obvious they were not going for the runway but for planes and/or radar/AA near by. Of course those are things you can move around and so they missed those targets.

This is why the western propaganda is disgusting to me.

You're right. When a country is invaded they should always give up because of the loss of life. It does not matter if the country that is invading you has an extensive human rights violation history and views you as inferior and has in the past genocided your people, you should always give up and let them have their way with you.
 
Is that Zelensky vid supposed to actually imply he's outside in Kiev or is it just there as a backdrop? It's so unconvincing I struggle to think they're trying to convince anyone with it. For all I know it could be an edit over an easily chroma keyed background, it's that bad.
yeah optics are fucking weird dude.

He did the walk forward to prove it wasn't a green screen, good move but most will see it as staged (it is duh)
 
what do you expect them to do? preemptively abandon all military bases during times of war? that's not workable
Maybe dispersing the troops somewhat is a good idea tho, this isn't the kind of war where any fixed location the Russians already know about is safe. Idk if the Mujahedeen or the Taliban had permanent bases, and pretty sure the Viet Cong were extremely clever about hiding their men and HQs.

I am right, because lower standards of living aren't worth this shit. I don't care about how this came to be, I only care that people are dying. I even pity those young Azov cunts, that they got brainwashed into their retarded ideology and now they have little to no way of escaping retribution. Possibly from their own peoples' hands.
Although, you seem to think that the next step would be putting all Ukrainians into GULAG facilities with bs you wrote.

The problem with the Taliban and Mujahedeen is that they have mountains and hills and caves to hide in, they also hid among civilians, which of course puts those in danger. That said there have been some intermingling but weather it's widespread or just i certain pockets is yet to be known. As for the Viet Cong they had the hills and jungles to hide in, where as Ukraine is mostly very flat, the only place that has anything hidden is the catacombs of Odessa, which hasn't seen any fighting.

If surrendering saves just one life, it's worth it. :smug:

Wow, you really know nothing about how laws are interpreted do you? The fact there isn't a "special forces exception" baked into the 3rd Geneva Convention has nothing whatever to do with how the Convention is interpreted under international law. Nothing of what I said mandates a special section of the Convention be devoted specifically to covering that situation, or when surrendering to planes for that matter. It is a deduction made based on the existing literature.

Dunning-Kreuger in full effect over here.
 
Masturbating Ukraine Military Guy was a nice touch. Someone GIF that shit.

All Ukranian cell cameras are made of potato apparently. Notice the rifle with optic at the end of the video.
I wonder if they can even go back to importing rapefugees once they get accustomed to чика

I can't read swahili but is the dude the refugee? If so, I am on a plane to go kill his ass and take that Hottie and Her Wall Of Booze as a war trophy....after her STD checkup.
Just found a very cool site. Shows the vehicles lost on both sides (that have been seen on camera).

I can't wait for the first Certified Autist around here to prove that "capturd" tanks in that list are just the same tank moved around to different geo-located points 219 times over and over, then blown up for the 220th through 400th picture.
Drag the time bar back and forth. The background would be moving\shading differently from compression...and it ain't.

How many lives are worth sending a message? How much damage are you willing to let you country take to say "fuck off" for a few extra months?

If there is an offer that Zelenskiy can take to end the war that ends with the Donbas, Crimea, and maybe Kherson and Zaporizhia going to Russia along with neutrality for Ukraine, then I think more suffering will be had fighting than accepting a peace.

Yes, I do not know how you come to your conclusion but there is definitely historical president to what could happen in the Ukraine. Especially since the suppression became worse after each time Ukraine resisted Russia it is very plausible that if Ukraine were to be taken the punishment would be greater than any seen before.
If surrendering saves just one life, it's worth it. :smug:
It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
 
To those who want to praise Zelensky, just remember that actors and whores are the least honest creatures in the world.
Here is a video with Zelensky in Gorlovka, 2014. (DPR)
"We are one people with the Russians."
He refers to Donbass as "homeland" and applauds local militia for capturing tanks.
Is that supposed to sway me against Zelenskyy? "Oh he said Ukrainians were one with Russia but didn't immediately roll out the red carpet for invading Russian tanks, what an asshole, how dare he."

Not to mention that everyone in government from the president down to the city dog catcher is going to sent to gulag for reeducation to "denazify" the country. They have absolutely no incentive not to fight. The government. The army. The public services. Everybody is going to get purged and they know it.

Oh gods I hate internet clowns that wave around the Geneva Convention. The Geneva Convention is a treaty not really a law as such. And it is by and large an extremely weak one, unless or until one of the combatants has been so fully defeated as to be at the complete mercy of the other. At which point it provides a loose sniff of legal legitimacy for the defeated to face prosecution. In the near Century that most elements of the Geneva and Hague Conventions have been in effect in some form or other, only one single adversary government has afforded Uniformed US Soldiers its protections. And that was the fucking Nazi’s. For all practical purposes it is an utterly worthless series of documents.
