    Seeing all the videos on how russian soldiers are treated by their superiors, was the AFU vehicle just a plausible deniability?

      That’s a good point. He could have been fragged or set up for a own goal. It probably wouldn’t be difficult. Tell him it’s safe and send him out after a bender?

        1847: Mexican–American War: On two occasions, Lieutenant Colonel Braxton Bragg (later a Confederate general) survived an attempt on his life when an artillery shell exploded under his bed.

        Twice?

    What if he was a bad general on purpose so that his troops could blow him up to boost morale?

      THEY WERE ON A BREAAAAAK!

      I will never forgive that casting error. He’s not even a half decent actor. Barely quarter decent, even.

      He tried to commit suicide after the war and ended up just blinding himself. His wife left him, his kids stopped contacting him. He lived in a run down facility for years before his death of malnutrition blind, alone, unloved.

      I just want everyone’s bungholes to be safe and have plenty of teepee. It is the only thing that should ever touch your bunghole.

      If Russia stops fighting, the war is over and everyone can go on with their lives. If Ukraine stops fighting, Russia will kill more and destroy what is Ukrainian.

      This is worth fighting for. This is worth flushing money to.

      It absolutely is our war; do you think Russia will stop with Ukraine? Do you think it sets a good precedent to once again allow states to annex territories that aren’t legally theirs with impunity?

      It is a moral imperative to ensure that Russia can no longer engage an offensive war within our lifetimes.
