Calling Russian troops “orcs” is already quite dehumanizing, which is a source of conflicts as it is.
But really, Finnish army was well-suited as is to resist Russian invasion by intimate knowledge of the location and a mighty network of civil and military defenses, but now with NATO support it’s like a Viet Cong on steroids.

I call them orcs because of their inhumane behavior on the field of conflict.
And yeah, it’d be real, real bad for any poor ivan crossing that border.

Are they all inhumane, or are the commanders and some of the most brutal soldiers?
A lot of people got into the battlefield against their will, and among those who signed the contract, most did it for the money and not out of bloodlust.
Dehumanizing the enemy is leaving them little room to defect or change their views.

just the ones committing war crimes and stealing appliances, but unfortunately they’re indistinguishable from the rest.
anyone on that side that wants to survive this better find a way to surrender.
