It makes sense given he's of Hungarian descent and his parents most likely lived through Soviet occupation. That being said, having most prominent conservatives blindly support Ukraine is getting tiresome.

Oh yeah I get why he in particular has a blind spot about Whoever Is Fighting Russia, but holy shit he gets livid when anybody points anything out

Decay isn't the only thing that occurs, as wild animals, insects, and etc would probably be opportunistic with what's essentially a free food source that's just laying around. I'm not saying this definitively proves things, but just odd if it's been a week and nothing ate at least some of the bodies.

There might be small nibbles not visible without a closer look, I've seen far more decayed bodies with no visible sign of animal predation from this conflict.
This is probably the most decayed I've seen bodies from this war.

Most prominent conservatives are just Democrats with a slightly lower taxes. There's a reason why they all jumped in bed with the left when confronted with Trump.

Lots of pictures of eyes eaten out by birds, same with tongues. Insects won't be a factor this early into the year.

There's a video from around a week ago of a dude in a muddy crater who was basically all bone except his head and jacket, but his body was being actively scavenged by a pack of dogs.

Far as I can tell, we really haven't seen Russian active-protection systems in action yet. Or we have, except it's shit & gets obliterated along with the rest of the tank.

Or, you could say is that we haven't, because they're working.

How about a shreked T80U-M2 that was equipped with Drozd-2 hard kill APS? Sorry, not sorry "they're not sending their best" bros
Major limitation of this system is that it is not effective against top attack anti-tank weapons. Also it can not intercept anti-tank munitions launched from buildings and rooftops. However the front arc of the tank is well protected.

The one tank they should have put a cope cage on.

Not really.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of prisoners could die from starvation or disease. The Americans can attest to that because tens of thousands of prisoners from both sides died in the civil war and that's due to the atrocious conditions of their POW camps.

The conditions and treatment of POWs in modern times are comparatively better in comparison.

So it begins. I have said several weeks ago that was gonna happen.

I mean many Poles have been annoyed, before that war started, with the amount of Ukrainians in Polish cities.

I saw two vids tops so far. And this one turns out to be outdated.
I'm more surprised I don't see that happening to Russians in Yurop or USA.
Not that it's not happening.

In this case it's a horrible thing that they didn't surrender sooner, when it was clear that they were completely cut off and that their cause was hopeless. They held half a million citizens hostage, leading to the death of who knows how many. The entire city was leveled because these faggots made every building a military target. Likely thousands of their own men died over nothing.

If they had all surrendered as soon as Mariupol was surrounded, and the evil Russians went on to rape them, skin them alive, and eat their livers, they objectively would have done more good for Ukraine than they did by fighting. The city would still be standing, the civilians could go on living as they had before, and the Chechens would've had infinitely less clout with Allah because they wouldn't have been able to ackbar as much.

I hope the Russians treat them with more humanity and dignity than the Ukrainians treat their POWs with.

When you invade a country the guys defending tend to almost always be less likely to take prisoners then the people attacking. But Mariupol is a bloody conflict that even years after wards you're going to see Russian cars pelted, flags torn down, and tires slashed. Even after the war is over it's going to be like vukovar with Serbians. Mariupol will always be that place where Russians are probably not exactly welcomed.

The Iron Dimon on the expulsion of diplomats:

"There are international customs that are meaningless. Crazy Poles expel 45 Russian diplomats, prudent Germans – 40, sophisticated French – 30. Suffering from insane phantom pains, the Balts recalled the ambassadors. This is just a cheap continuation of the schizoid campaign to put pressure on our country, which will not change anything. Not really. If this continues, it's time to hang barn locks on Western embassies. "

Same with the Soviets at Odessa in 1941, or the Siege of Leningrad, or the Siege of Sevastopol. All those starved civilians, destroyed buildings, ruined lives. All for a hopeless cause. All those civilians held hostage.

I mean that's what modern warfare entails, bloody, long and grueling conflicts.
