1. First thing I thought reading the tweets before your commentary was that it sounds just like pretty much every blm/antifa tweet over the last 5 yrs.

   1. I’d swear they’re reading from the exact same script, with the only difference being the name of the country in need of ‘liquidation’ changed.

      1. There’s a reason why Hitler and Stalin were good friends until Hitler made a really stupid mistake, the same one made by Bonaparte a century and half earlier.

2. Damnatio memoriae on a national scale.

3. So what happens in time of war when someone in civilian attire with an AK-47 shoots at you? Remember the Ukraine was handing out AK’s to civilians. Where and how do you draw the line with enemy combatants? You’re going to kill them and take there weapon so it can’t be used against you by someone else.

   1. Correct. A round from a civilian’s AK will kill you just as dead as a soldier’s will.

      That being said, let’s not fool ourselves. Atrocities have been a Russian military tactic for a long time.

   2. Or, y’know, take them prisoner, tie their hands behind their backs so they’re no longer a threat to anyone… and then shoot them. Totally in keeping with the LOAC, right?
      And – just a clue here – the people whose home you’re invading are entitled to resist, even if they’re not in uniform. I know this concept is alien to, e.g., Soros-supported prosecutors, but it’s a fine old Saxon custom.

      1. Reading _The Guns of August_ which describes the start of WWI, the Germans complained bitterly about the “war crimes” (this was before the term existed, but it is what they were talking about) taking place as they marched through Belgium.

         The gist was that *civilians* were shooting at German shoots. This was against the rules of war. The only people allowed to shoot at your solders were their solders. Civilians were not suppose to be shooting.

         And as a result of these atrocities, the Germans were forced to execute hostages and burn towns and cities to the ground.

         The quote given was something like: If the number of burgermeister daughters killing German generals was as reported, there would be no more German generals and the Belgium army should recruit nothing but burgermeister daughters.

5. As said above, this is right in line with the language ANTIFA uses. That said, I’m pretty sure there are no good guys over there. The Russians are being Russian, and it’s easy to dismiss the “denazification” stuff as pure nonsense until I see pictures of Ukrainian troops wearing Black Sun patches on their plate carriers. I don’t know what the hell to think anymore.

6. Also, sort of related, I think one of the most awful things I’ve heard of being done over there are the Ukrainians taking the cell phones off of dead Russian troops, and face-timing their mothers to tell them they just killed their child. I get that war is hell and the Russian soldier may have been awful and deserved to be shot, but leave the guy’s mother out of it. Some of these guys are conscripts and given the corruption I’ve read about, probably come from poor families. Tough to imagine getting a FaceTime call from your child only to be met with the mocking face of his killer. I really hope we never have violence like this in America.

   1. HP, yes, but remember that the Russians have no other way to find out about soldiers being killed. The reality is hidden from the people.
      It seems clear that Putin is planning to finish the job Stalin started in the 1930s. Sort of the way Al Qaeda and Fatah and Khamenei aim to finish the job that Hitler started.

      1. Also: when the enemy’s stated objective is to wipe out your entire nation and all its history, culture, and language, then every tool is valid. Psy-ops against the people are perfectly reasonable.
         Now, admittedly a MOAB dropped on the Kremlin would be a preferable approach, but that’s not within the defenders’ current capabilities.

   2. Hope all you want HP, but the fascist left IS bringing the violence here. Be ready.

7. As That Noted Moral Philosopher, Matt Bracken has stated, it likely will be Rwanda x Bosnia x Lebanon.

   Very bad times.
