‘I’m beginning to understand that we’re not on the right side.’ WSJ spoke to Russian fighters who surrendered in Ukraine. — Meduza
One captured Russian soldier says he worries about what will happen if he is returned to Russia in a prisoner swap. “If I have the opportunity, I’ll refuse to be exchanged." Another fighter reported that a doctor declared him unfit for combat after he was wounded in March, but his commander ordered him back to the front.
Now they think it? Nice, how about back when they invaded a country who was sitting there peacefully for no f’ing reason?
I mean... the US does that...
@bear_delune A lot of countries have done that, and it's always been a crime.
How can they just barely begin to understand this. I know the propaganda machine goes hard but not that hard
History has been teaching us painfully often how quick people give up their individual believes for the sake of a centralised propaganda machine. It'd be very dangerous to think we are immune to it imho.
