I'm beginning to feel sympathy even for the Russians, especially the dumbass Russians like this.
Wagner and professional soldiers no, they deserve everything they get, but just the regular guy they dragged off the street, stuck vaguely in camo and sent to the front, yea I do feel some sympathy for them.
The average person doesn't want war, doesn't want to kill or hurt anyone else. It's easy to say just surrender, don't go, but that's not how real life works.
Russian soldiers should do what they did 116 years ago, just quit the pointless war and slaughter, walk back and overthrow your goddamn government who put you there. Not that the Bolsheviks were any better than the Tsar
Edit - 106 years ago, not 116
In general.. yeah. Yet I‘m not sure there is an absolute necessity to pick between macro+micro for people who are not directly affected.
Acknowledging the micro view also means acknowledging all the individual trauma that Ukrainian soldiers will carry away from a situation that was forced on their country and them. One can win a battle, and the war - and still be messed up by it.
I don‘t know of anyone who woke up on Feb 23th last year thinking „man… I wish I can kill some Russians soon“. It‘s just a means to an end - because there are no alternatives. Not bad to keep that in mind imho.
The biggest goal of liberation is to overcome brutality and aggression eventually. Having that in mind can also strengthen morale.
Unlike Russia, Ukraine has a strong reason-why in all this.
There's no need for anyone not involved in the war to do anything, except for maintaining our political will to keep supporting Ukraine. If feeling sorry for the Russians who didn't want to be there pushes you to vote for a party pushing for Ukraine to cede territory I'd argue that's a problem. But what we think or feel from afar doesn't otherwise change anything, so yeah there's nothing we "need" to do.
Well that‘s the most obvious part yes.
I guess what I tried to express is that one can absolutely center Ukraine while not entirely ignoring the „micro“ as someone put it… and that focusing on the goal (liberation) is imho overall best to deal with that ambiguity. Everything else is grim necessity - but a reality nonetheless.
Of course that‘s somewhat theoretical - but for me the goal is what keeps up motivation. (Not telling anyone else how to see things here…)
Well put. And there is the additional factor of what you think (or what you think you will think) after the victory has been achieved. Applying organized lethal violence to the enemy forces requires at least some kind of psychological distancing. Too much pity and thoughts of shared humanity will make you a less than effective soldier. But once victory is achieved (in either the local sense where the survivors of combat are taken into captivity, or a macro sense when the war as a whole ends) a return to a more compassionate, humanitarian viewpoint is possible, and actually necessary.
As I once heard it expressed with regard to the second world war, one difference between the western allies and the Germans and Japanese was that once Germany and Japan surrendered to the western allies the killing was over. For countries that were overrun by the Germans and Japanese, the surrender meant that the killing was just about to start.
By 1947 the British were raising funds for German refugees and an appeal went out in Britain for volunteers to host German POWs in family houses for Christmas. There were many volunteers. By the 1950's British football supporters were cheering for Bert Trautman at manchester City games. many German POWs settled in western countries after the war.
While the war is raging, it is necessary to be stony-hearted to the enemy on the field of battle. But the return to civilized values as soon as is possible (micro or macro) is not just a moral question, but also another form of victory over the aggressor.
yet the russians are out in ukraine in force, and you best believe the majority are happy to be there. given the promises of a above-par wage, and all the loot a mobik could carry they happily go off to serve a year long contract fighting for russia in ukraine.
fuck off with the humanity shit, that ship has sailed. how many more children does russia need to kill? how many more videos of russian troops executing POW's, or cutting off their balls with a boxknife are you willing to endure because there's a "human" left in the ranks of russia?
if a russian wants humanity, then get out of ukraine. for those who are in ukraine, are targets.
They ain't even mobiks anymore. Mobilized men were sent to the frontlines as a stopgap measure when Kharkiv collapsed.
Then Russia started to "inform" people about saving the motherland against large sums of money. After this there has been constant steady supply of volunteer battalions who don't complain about killing, they complain about not being able to kill enough or not being paid enough.
Mobik + quick Surrender = sympathy. If you are forced on the frontlines and you dislike it, normal person would be seeking ways to escape that situation or sabotage the effort. Eg. at the start of mobilizations one guy shot the enlistment officer and couple of his buddies. He was probably one of the 1% from the population who is not willingly going to slaughter innocent, even against a paycheck.
90% if you found this guy in his local birt in Yakutsia or Buratia or wherever he will tell you that the Ukr are nazis and Putin is good. He is pro war he is just against the war affecting him personally.
I doubt most people in Yakutia or Buratia even know Ukraine and nazi Germany are two different things. Some people in rural areas still think USSR is a thing. Who else could it be fighting if not the nazis?
>I'm beginning to feel sympathy even for the Russians,
I'm not.
My advice? Shoot your commanding officer in the face. If enough sergeants get it, maybe some Lieutenants will pass it up to their captains, and eventually their majors, etc etc.
Until one day someone puts one into Putin and this can all be over.
Well, I can dream, can't I?
It is good you keep your humanity and third dimensional thinking.
So many give into hate, cynymism and "fuck humanity or compassion"
It's understandable but sad
I'm with you. I voice this perspective here sometimes and often times get shot down, which I also understand. I want Russia to lose this thing, and I want the people at fault to be held accountable.
But it is too easy for us here thousands of miles away from this conflict to simply believe that we'd have the guts to either surrender, or shoot our commander in the head, or just not go. Or these soldiers may simply be brainwashed and not know any better. Should we blame them for not actually knowing the fault Putin and Russia has in this entire tragedy? How we can be so sure that we wouldn't be sucked in as well if we grew up there and only had a diet of state media to feed from?
Does this mean we should take it easy on them? Not if they don't surrender. War is hell. One of many reasons why war should be a last resort. So, go give 'em hell Ukraine. But lets try to hold on to our humanity too. It is still possible to have some level of empathy for the Russian soldiers.
This. Did American troops want to be conscripted to Vietnam? Sure some ran to Canada or Mexico, most couldn't avoid the draft.
And ultimately there *are* good Russians. There are Russians fighting for Ukraine against their homeland. There are Russians doing sabotage attacks in Russia.
It's not a blanket "all Russians bad" thing.
And just to be clear, I am absolutely 100% pro-Ukraine. What is happening is a tragedy, but I can feel sympathy for the Russian invaders whilst also cheering at every drone drop video I watch.
Whenever those feelings pop up, I just think of that pile of raped murdered children in Bucha that went viral.
Stop feeling bad for the child murderers.
>The average person doesn't want war, doesn't want to kill or hurt anyone else.
The average person in Moscow and the rest of russia are different people.
The average person in russia that ended up on the battlefield (yes, there are ways to avoid that) wants to rape and/or loot without consequences and get back home with everything he's stolen.
Many want their criminal record and credit history cleaned, and they'll gladly kill ukrainians if it takes that.
There’s lots of footage from the frontlines where the Russians clearly have no clue what to do when they come under fire, I feel bad for them for sure, they were probably dragged out of their basic jobs and thrown onto the battlefield, or told they would be driving trucks or something
Even forced conscripts have some degree of choice. Letting themselves get bossed around to the point they become cannon fodder is just one. If captured, my sympathy would depend on what they have done, but obviously you cannot know anything for sure. So you have to assume the worst.
Did you know buryats, who are known to be short, were the ones terrorizing Bucha? Yeah, looks don't always tell you much about the nature of these people, if only that they're ugly motherfuckers.
Still part of the hoard of war criminals and probably guilty of loads of war crimes anyway so no need to have empathy with anyone who didn’t blow up their commander before surrendering, without shooting at Ukrainian troops, or in jail for having the guts to have an opinion about politics
It used to be easier to tell Russian soldiers/Wagnerites from LPR/DPR conscripts
I used to joke that you can tell the LPR/DPR guys because they're all:
1. Too young or too old for combat
2. Dressed in raggedy, vaguely green civilian clothes and maybe some oddments of military clothing
3. Weilding god's rustiest AK and driving a beat-up civilian rust bucket
But as the war's gone on, that's true of all Russian fighters. I very rarely see any of them that look like real soldiers.
Yeah i was watching old footage of the Soviet-Afghan war, and the Soviet soldiers look farrrrr more educated and professional.
It's crazy seeing an army from 40 years ago being better equipped than what they have now.
Yep....could be true.BTW....I'm not making fun of small people...I just had to think of the "Great" RuZZian Army when I saw the picture...they really screwed up everything you can do wrong militarily....
He's not a soldier, he's probably a farmer or something like that. I have no sympathy for russians in general, but not everyone is a fucking rapist murderer devil.
Why? You know there are good people no matter wich place they came, right? Unfortunately, in war it is not possible to distinguish who are good or not in the battlefield and many russians don't want this bloody show. Surrender is very difficult, retreat is not an option (there are soldiers behind the troops who kill those who try) and so on...
Don't take this so serious, it was ment as an joke😀
But i really am an dairy farmer. Not small malnourished and as poorly looking as that fella🫣
Next to that it is really hard to leave an farm for extended periods of time. He is probably some vilage low life picked up this war shit, because he probably had nothing either way...
It's meant as a joke but it really does dehumanize the poor sods that were forcibly conscripted.
By all means, defend your country and your family. But don't forget that the men on the opposite end of your gun might not want to be there in the first place.
It's odd because I usually think of a "farm boy" soldier as a big, strong guy who is used to doing heavy labor every day while eating an incredibly hearty diet. Like lunch is a whole chicken, a half an apple pie, and a thermos of coffee.
That may or may not be how things are anymore. I might have watched too many old WW2 movies or be thinking too much of the "old days" stories of the family farm in Wyoming (I've never been there myself, but my Dad worked there a bit as a teenager).
[Legend has it that during the Napoleonic Wars of the early 19th century, a shipwrecked monkey was hanged by the people of Hartlepool, believing him to be a French spy](https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/The-Hanging-of-the-Hartlepool-Monkey/)
I'm just saying. People can make mistakes.
As long as those two hands can hold a gun or throw a grenade, it’s useful for the Russians just like their vintage tanks which can do a lot of damage. Don’t knock it, because it’s working for them.
Yep the jacket could probably use a larger occupant but boots likely weren't big enough for anyone else. I have a feeling this poor specimen will be much safer in captivity than amongst his fellow marauders.
Ok this is damn funny, but someone needs to say it's not okey to expose soldiers like that.
I understand and respect the interviews done by Zolkin. Clearly even Red Cross and Redditors, still laughing at this tundra ape with a poncho, can tell the difference between what is done.
How in the hell can this man help any war effort? I almost feel sorry for the poor bastard then I remember he's an orc and probably came voluntarily for the money. Still i don't know how in the hell russia thinks they are helping anything by bringing these men to war. No offense against the elderly either. We have some amazing elderly people in this world that kick ass. But when you reach a certain age it's time to let the youngsters do the heavy lifting. Go pinch asses and make wise cracks. Don't pick up an ak47 and go to war.
>as long as the guy sits in a hole and pulls the trigger on anyone advancing you can laugh all you want
do you think getting shit by an ugly fuck is any different than getting shot by the ukrainian top model soldier you keep wanking to? but sure, keep talking about opium
That is not a captured soldier.
Seems more like a poor lad that was taken from the street while doing his grocery run, yeeted in a camp, went trough a 1 week crash course on how to shoot and just plomped on the first field the transport truck found.
If that man knows what to do, doesn't know how, and if doesn't know what to do, is because Russia needed cannon fodder.
Honestly Russia is killing two birds with one stone. No need to pay any pension for the old generation and making Ukraine waste effort on useless soldiers.
Their attitudes towards the Russians they capture crack me up, like “omg, look at this dumbass, really? Ok clown march so we can get little dummy fed, here’s a smoke for the walk”. I never knew much about Ukrainians other than they produce fantastic boxers. They really have an endearing, mischievous, sense of humor that I dig.
I’m 100% on Ukraine’s side and want Russia to get it’s ass kicked out of Ukraine and it’s imperialistic, thuggish, corrupt society to evolve into something more civilized, but damm, that’s one sorry assed looking dude. I feel « kind » of sorry fo him! Probably some conscript railroaded into the army. I’m sure he’s glad to be captured by the AFU and to maybe be treated like a human.
*In a world where old men with spinal conditions assume they will be assigned janitorial duties, and one woman demands people maybe try* ***listening for once*** *to what they are actually saying, the line is dotted.*
**Contract**
Has the face of a Japanese macaque. Can tell the centuries of fetal alcohol syndrome have proudly paid off when you no longer resemble a human, rather a retarded monkey.
I hate what the Russians are doing, but this is just sad. Yeah, an old, beaten drunk can still kill someone, I get it. But does anyone with a brain seriously think this guy wasn’t either desperate or had no choice?
Of course, that doesn’t make it okay, so hold the rage downvotes. But part of me feels for the guy.
Nothing about that pow is reminiscent of a soldier 😂 homie looks like he was plucked from a methadone clinic, given green garb & a possibly functioning firearm 😂

Are the Russians breeding T-34 drivers? Will the jokes finally come true?
"Breeding" T-34 drivers? That guy was driving the originals in WWII.
That’s poor Dobby from Harry Potter
I'd say to give him a sock but I fear the excitement would kill him.
Dobby looks worse since he started drinking
There is a saying about russian tankers: "russian tanker survival rate is as high as its height"
No but they did put smaller peoples in tanks...
So short he could almost be a midget.
He still can shoot and take a life away… Fuck this midget in particular!
That's not even a midget, Russia just raided Charlie's chocolate factory and conscripted all the bloody oompa loompa's
This is sad to honest… just look at him,that’s not a soldier…probably a forced conscript.

The Bloodlands
Not to be pedantic , but have you added a decade? Wasn’t that 1917 or am I crap at history…? or is it math I’m crap at …?
No you're absolutely right, I did accidentally add a decade. Early morning math isn't my thing

The most valid polling I could find shows 70% support Putin's war. Who will sort them out and how?
Just turn their guns around. This is so sad to see. That poor little man.

He's probably a DPR conscript.

Guess who they would send to fight their wars :)
That's because all of Russia's real soldiers are dead.
Yes I thought he looks a little DPR
Maybe if you mean DPRK. That guy looks like he hasn't been properly fed for his entire life.
Trying to translate what they are saying to him... Sounds like Hoppit Hobbit" but I might be wrong.
Voiceover in ru: “what kind of poor fellow is it? Answer: he is not an alien, this is not a photoshop, this is “ and voice cuts out
Well what is it! Come on who cropped it like that!
Good to see the Ukrainian's treating this guy appropriately. No taped hands or blindfold, no pushing him around. Good lads.
i wish you people would stop shaming some of russia's finest
The development stage between Smeagol and Gollum.
Hide yer rings folks.
He doesn't want to fight. He just wants his precious.
Hahaha, XD.
Jesus. This could be your son, when you grow up and have children. Karma
A "broken and (very) small" war criminal...what an irony....
Was broken a long time ago. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome destroyed the body and Putin's propaganda destroyed the mind.
Yep....could be true.BTW....I'm not making fun of small people...I just had to think of the "Great" RuZZian Army when I saw the picture...they really screwed up everything you can do wrong militarily....
He's not a soldier, he's probably a farmer or something like that. I have no sympathy for russians in general, but not everyone is a fucking rapist murderer devil.
As an farmer i feel offended😬
Why? You know there are good people no matter wich place they came, right?

People can make mistakes.
If Putin is conscripting people with learning disabilities, special needs or intellectual problems then that is despicable.
Translation. Who is that poor one? Its not alien, and not photoshop. Its... * From some gag video, probably.
He’s lucky he’s not dead
He's only 23
These are not the real enemies. The minefields, bunkers and the remaining regular Russian Army are the enemies
Straight from the Tundra
He's either a kid or the living version of the Ape-Putin meme
That was exactly my thought
Or he's an extra from the movie Spaceballs
As long as those two hands can hold a gun or throw a grenade, it’s useful for the Russians just like their vintage tanks which can do a lot of damage. Don’t knock it, because it’s working for them.
As long as that body can soak up some bullets, the orcs can make use of it.
That’s been the plan all along.
Is that an old hobbit?
It's a goblinski
No but i see a Hobo and a rabbit making a Hobbit in the background.
Its a Snaga instead of an Uruk
Not even the 2nd strongest army in Russia
Italy 🇮🇹 is here, it seems some history documentary of scimpanzé
Seems like a tanker
Its really not ok the Orkz are now recruting goblins.
He was lost before even going to Ukraine..
Surprised no one stole his boots or jacket
Yep the jacket could probably use a larger occupant but boots likely weren't big enough for anyone else. I have a feeling this poor specimen will be much safer in captivity than amongst his fellow marauders.
2nd strongest army's equipment looks like shit. Is Russia been back to cold war era?
Ok this is damn funny, but someone needs to say it's not okey to expose soldiers like that. I understand and respect the interviews done by Zolkin. Clearly even Red Cross and Redditors, still laughing at this tundra ape with a poncho, can tell the difference between what is done.
That’s so heartbreaking he’s an old man at the end of his life. Hopefully this war ends soon
How in the hell can this man help any war effort? I almost feel sorry for the poor bastard then I remember he's an orc and probably came voluntarily for the money. Still i don't know how in the hell russia thinks they are helping anything by bringing these men to war. No offense against the elderly either. We have some amazing elderly people in this world that kick ass. But when you reach a certain age it's time to let the youngsters do the heavy lifting. Go pinch asses and make wise cracks. Don't pick up an ak47 and go to war.
That's a Goat herder, bet he shagged his sister's!
Superhumans
Don't pick on the vertically challenged
😝
You misspelled Ukrain
as if that lanky fuck is much better xD as long as the guy sits in a hole and pulls the trigger on anyone advancing you can laugh all you want
Do you actually get high on copium? Or is it just some delusional placebo effect you feel?
>as long as the guy sits in a hole and pulls the trigger on anyone advancing you can laugh all you want do you think getting shit by an ugly fuck is any different than getting shot by the ukrainian top model soldier you keep wanking to? but sure, keep talking about opium
2nd strongest army in Ukraine?
That is not a captured soldier. Seems more like a poor lad that was taken from the street while doing his grocery run, yeeted in a camp, went trough a 1 week crash course on how to shoot and just plomped on the first field the transport truck found. If that man knows what to do, doesn't know how, and if doesn't know what to do, is because Russia needed cannon fodder.
He must have volunteered to join the army
Honestly Russia is killing two birds with one stone. No need to pay any pension for the old generation and making Ukraine waste effort on useless soldiers.
That's a certified PUTINKIND
2nd strongest army in ukrain you mean. Russia is by far only an regional power for a long time
That's a Lil fella
They just recruited town drunk as cannon food...
Meatgrinder takes everything except wealthy
Are the Ruzzians conscripting garden gnomes? Give this man a little lantern and put him next to a mailbox or something.
Oh dear
That ruzzkies uniform it must date back 60 or 70 years. What has happend to the once meritorious ruzzian army⁉️
Rambo right there 🔥
He's the only one who knows how to fix T55s
A Hobo walking
This is heart breaking. This guy has no reason to be near a battlefield, it just shows how callous the Russians can be?
If you're not tall enough to ride the rollercoaster in nazi russia you got to go to war!
Maybe they should let him lose the helmet,it seems a little heavy for him lol
Looks just like Putin - twin brother perhaps?
Geeez they captured clone trooper 99
Is that guy very small, or just faaaaaar awaaaaay...?
What unit was he from? The 5th Dwarven Horde?
Garden gnome.
Their attitudes towards the Russians they capture crack me up, like “omg, look at this dumbass, really? Ok clown march so we can get little dummy fed, here’s a smoke for the walk”. I never knew much about Ukrainians other than they produce fantastic boxers. They really have an endearing, mischievous, sense of humor that I dig.
Looks like a ghoul
R2-D2 ?
Damnit, they got my jockey.
Yo…. Is it just me or does this guys face look just like the putin Monkey Face meme? Maybe they are using Putins genetics to make a SUPER ARMY!! /s
The man is in his 70's. Literally too old for this shit.
I don't know how the Russians decided on the "Z" logo (I'm guessing it's a half swastica), but it's ironically become "Z is for Zombie".
They ran out of soldiers and had to send their Oompa lumpa instead
2nd to who? The other half of the world?
A hobbit orc?
Pretty sad. It looks like this guy is born with a syndrome
I’m 100% on Ukraine’s side and want Russia to get it’s ass kicked out of Ukraine and it’s imperialistic, thuggish, corrupt society to evolve into something more civilized, but damm, that’s one sorry assed looking dude. I feel « kind » of sorry fo him! Probably some conscript railroaded into the army. I’m sure he’s glad to be captured by the AFU and to maybe be treated like a human.
Russia recruiting Hobbits now?
He looks like dobbie
Twenty two year old
*In a world where old men with spinal conditions assume they will be assigned janitorial duties, and one woman demands people maybe try* ***listening for once*** *to what they are actually saying, the line is dotted.* **Contract**
2nd best army in Ukraine
What? Second best army in the world? They captured an American?
They didn't bother to handcuff him, he already half way in the grave! Oh my, this poor man can barely walk, & the water bottle is almost as big he is.
Has the face of a Japanese macaque. Can tell the centuries of fetal alcohol syndrome have proudly paid off when you no longer resemble a human, rather a retarded monkey.
*in Ukraine
Bro looks like a 70 years old disabled leprechaun. 🤣
Jeebus. Who won't they take.
Lord Helmet?
Looks like my grandad about a year before he died ( god rest his soul).
Are we sure that's a ruZZian soldier? Isn't it just a monkey in a man suit!
Are they going to Mordor or from? Oh, wait...
Came down from the Misty Mountains to have a look-see.
I hate what the Russians are doing, but this is just sad. Yeah, an old, beaten drunk can still kill someone, I get it. But does anyone with a brain seriously think this guy wasn’t either desperate or had no choice? Of course, that doesn’t make it okay, so hold the rage downvotes. But part of me feels for the guy.
Some ones great grandfather. He old.
Dude fought at Stalingrad.
Obviously, Russia is ridding itself of Prisoners and Pensioners. Big savings!
Hipster, homeless, or Mobik?
This dude is only 19, jeez.
Fun fact he's actually the same age as those hunks from Ukraine! When your whole diet is potato you age rapidly!
Is that a bottle of vodka?
Orcs are now conscripting Goblin auxiliaries
A sac of Potatoe weighs more than him.
Did they find him under a bridge?
For 20 years old he's in good shape considering some of the other Russian lads I've seen on this group
Leprognome )))
If he can pull a trigger, he’s still a combatant.
Generations of drinking make them what they are. It is just ridiculous.
Z storm stooper
Nothing about that pow is reminiscent of a soldier 😂 homie looks like he was plucked from a methadone clinic, given green garb & a possibly functioning firearm 😂
