How shocking, who would’ve expected such behaviour from Russia?
Where’s the tankie who will explain how Putin is the good guy?
Ahem, awkctually shooting deserters is a gewd thing, because it teaches the liberal media to stay in line, therefore helping communism strive by giving the totally not authoritarian AI implants in Putin dopamine and thats a good thing.
Errr… /s
Did I do a stupid right? I don’t even know.
Country press-ganging civilians into conscription vans as unpaid cannon fodder accuses professional soldiers of being forced to be there 🤓
Something tells me you don’t complain about the Soviet conscript armies for the Revolution and Great Patriotic War.
I don’t like conscription as a concept but is not the one nearly universally justifiable exception defense of a society against imperialist fascists funding and allied to Nazism worldwide?
Those savages, right guys!
Many people think that propaganda means it’s a lie. Often it is, but propaganda can be true while still being propaganda. Which is this case.
So, yeah, obviously it’s a propaganda. Doesn’t make Russian inhuman shooting of their own troops any better.
How delusional do you have to be to ignore that they’ve done so throughout history and even did so in this exact war? This is merely someone giving the order, it’s not like we didn’t know they did it.

The Russian’s have been doing this since at least WW2 (where it was common). Not surprising in the least.
