Merkel claims that without Covid it's unlikely Putin would have done this, it was the interruption of constant contact with Putin caused by Covid that was the reason nobody was able to talk him out of it.

Another recent story claim Putin did it because he was BORED!!!

This makes me believe there may be a lot of truth to the claim that Putin did it because of Covid. And of course because he has become insane with his own power.

Those are just the bodies they were able to recover.

Plenty of fertilizer for the sunflowers left out there.

Those bags cost money.

They wash them out and reuse them apparently

Yes, but when you show the face of them being dead, then they might have to pay the family compensation.

They pulled the guys off the island. Many are completely gone, it’s a mess. Finally, at least they're heading home. Their families will see them. It’s a complete disaster, just fing hell. This is my personal disaster. I just don’t know. That’s how they treat them. How they run after them, approaching by boat and taking them away. Well, these fing scum. They should’ve gone themselves, you know, gone there on their own.

the translation is 80% accurate. the main idea is "this is fucked up", he blames the higher ranks and wishes they have gone to this meat grinder themselves. he was ought to sneak on a boat and get those bodies to send them to their relatives back home. and says that there are many more wounded that will get back home too.

Any guess who "they" may refer to? Commanders? Generals? Politicians in the Kreml?

Where is the celebration in this post? This is a Russian showing the reality of Putin's war.

I get where you're coming from, but videos like this are important. They show the truth of what happened and make sure it's not forgotten. It's not just for shock, it's to document history and hold people accountable.

[–] chryan@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

It helps because it can be a counter to whatever propaganda Putin is feeding to his populace. It won't be spread far and wide, but this video's existence shows the reality of a completely avoidable war that leads to what you pointed out: dead people from fighting someone else's war.

[–] CTDummy@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I agree with your initial comment. I understand why these videos get posted, to counter Russia propaganda about their 3 day special military operation. To show just how poorly it’s going for the Russian military is important.

The comment section though is always ugh. Like fuck the Rusfed army for being there but perpetually online losers looking at bodies of humans and gleefully exclaiming them to be fertiliser is sick.

You can decide for yourself what you get out of this content. There is very little cheering going on, but you just can't avoid some of the sorrow of war if you want to stay informed about the war to a certain level.

People who murder, rape, torture and plunder. They all made their choice, even if that choice was complacency. In the end, they became aggressors, and consequently taken out, as they should. The moment you cross the border into Ukraine, you're an invader.
