I’m not sure why this guy’s so reluctant to accept something that sticking a bunch of high voltage cables in a swamp isn’t something Iraq would’ve done in that war. I don’t even mean in a “oh they did immoral things way”, I mean in a “they were basically doing ACME shit the entire war” way.

Did Iraq probably heavily inflate the number killed? Absolutely. Even if they weren’t trying to, they had tons of barbed wire and floating mines in that swamp, so kinda hard to distinguish what killed who when all you care about is building corpse road. But they also absolutely electrified a swamp during the battle of the marshes, and it absolutely did kill people.

CORPSE ROAD

As awful as it is, gotta admit that electrifying a swamp is a pretty creative move.

The cruelty is the point.

Watching the video, it really looks like the T-90 crew had zero clue what was going on. Wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t even know how many vehicles they were being attacked by. Panic, poor training, and the potential for pvt conscriptovich to have sold critical things off for vodka will do a lot to turn a battle against you.

Everything about the invasion relied on Ukraine not putting up enough of a fight to warrant support from the west.

Which was a fair assumption, if they simply ignored the massive amount of work Ukraine put into getting their military into shape since 2014

Which it will be. Do you think lawyers/their staff need read every single word on every single page or something? That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works

Maybe don’t commit 4 million pages worth of crimes.

Hopefully they wake up to reality and follow Sweden’s approach

“How dare ex soviet nations try to ensure their own protection after Russia showed multiple times they like to invade ex soviet nations!”

It’s the same point as always. Try to force the “undesirables” either into an underclass or to leave.
