The Russians have a new EW system for individual protection - the bucket.
It was the bucket that one of the Katsaps put on his head when the Ronin launched your drone at them🔪 It didn’t help.
UPD: they write that it is not a bucket. And part of the washing machine😂
Can’t fascism and conscripts being thrown into a meat grinder both be bad? Isn’t one just a consequence of the other?
From that perspective, the fascists (Putin & co) have agency and the ability to decide their actions (attack another country), but the conscripts don’t, they’re passively „being thrown“. I strongly disagree with that point of view.
These conscripts at least partially decide to throw themselves into a meatgrinder, hoping for glory and money at the expense of the Ukrainian people. Fuck them.
Pretty sure a conscript’s motivations are avoiding prison or corporal punishment.

@downpunxx @LaFinlandia @deft @ThrowawayPermanente I dunno. They are told that if they say no, they will be shot. If they turn back, they will be shot. If they desert, they will be shot. Doesn’t sound like a lot of choice there to me.

From the fact that you’re here, should we assume your choice was to kill people?
So if someone hands you a gun and says “go kill people or I’ll shoot you” you’d choose to go murder people?
I don’t know how I’d act. That’s the point.
We can’t sit here all high and mighty saying we would or wouldn’t do something when we have no bloody idea.
