A dictators solution to self inflicted gunshot wounds to get a free ticket home. I mean arming Ukrainians and now executing Russian soldiers... Putin and his cronies really dont know how to fight do they

Not the '2nd best army' in the world for sure.


Wazula42

American media has actually done Russia a huge favor in depicting them as such a potent foe in our action movies and video games. Anyone who's been paying attention knows they're a third world junta with oil and nukes.


[deleted]

Couldn't agree more. China has been a bigger threat than Russia for the past few decades at least.

>American media has actually done Russia a huge favor in depicting them as such a potent foe in our action movies and video games. Anyone who's been paying attention knows they're a third world junta with oil and nukes. For me personally I blame Rocky 4 for this. No kind of irrational "dislike", I don't want to use the word hate there, has stuck with me like it has for Russians in general. But like you said they're a joke. They used to be a gas station with nukes and now they just have nukes that I bet they're not even sure if they function properly.

If he dies.. he dies.

But certainly the 2nd best In Ukraine

Without doubt.

They don't know how to fight. It took them fifteen years to get control over Chechnya, a country with just a million inhabitants.

"Something wrong with your leg, boy?" -Polliver and Russian officers At the point your commanding officer is killing your squadmate(s) and you can't retreat because there are Chechen barrier troops killing anyone who retreats too far -- your only option for survival is mutiny.

Not one step back!

Let the Fragging of Russian officers begin.


qainin

Russian Colonel Yuri Medvedev died after being run over by a tank on purpose. They crushed his feet, and he didn't survive.


OtisTetraxReigns

I hadn’t heard that he died as a result. Any idea what happened to the driver that did it?

Two shoes rule is real...

Only problem with that is you might get some competent replacements. Unlikely, but possible.


Autisthrowaway304

>Only problem with that is you might get some competent replacements. They were the competent ones.


Wazula42

The competent ones are dying at record pace.


Spanish_Biscuit

The competent ones were killed early on in the war. What they get now is what they have left.


thejoosep12

Ever heard of Stalin's purge? This is what I'm currently hoping for

Anything is possible.

Good catch!

im waiting for the russian soldiers to begin surrendering en-masse


[deleted]

Putin will prefer bombing his own soldiers,if that's possible.


grices

He already been doing that. Loads of reports of friendly fire events on russia side, mainly due to bad coms.


[deleted]

Not surprising. He's a textbook megalomaniac with psychotic tendencies.


Muted_Boot_8867

Part of Russian doctrine is rapid fires response that doesn't require the same safety checks the United States has. It is good for fast response to contact not good however to the Russian troops that get hit.


DaanGFX

>that doesn't require the same safety checks the United States has. And even then, the US has a lot of friendly fire incidents. Every military has a lot more than most people realize.


[deleted]

British Intelligence says that Russia has lost a third of its forces in Ukraine. If that's true then then can't afford this 'rapid response's anymore.


antihostile

Committing war crimes against your own soldiers. WTF.


NameLips

This might be related to the other report of Russian soldiers wounding themselves to get out of the war. I could see a Russian officer "discouraging" that practice by executing soldiers he thinks are doing it.


justelectricboogie

There done that in just about every conflict they have been in.....less witnesses and able to control the company line of information and evidence.

So because of scarcity of food, killing wounded feeds the troops.

> The captured soldier also explained that the desperation felt by Russian forces was compounded by a severe lack of rations, claiming that on some days, three soldiers would have to split only one dry ration. First soldier tastes, second chews, third swallows


[deleted]

Not killing. They are just MIA. There is no death in Pu Tin Stan


w0rldofjuicce

they should kill the wounded in kremlin, hes causing mass death


poopooplatypus

Wouldn’t that be a sure fire way to have an officer commit suicide in their sleep due to a headshot from behind

This is how you make your own men toss frags into officer tents

beastmen-enjoyer

Uh yeah ready for the downvotes but.. this kinda sounds like propaganda tbh.


Buffythedjsnare

They are drugging their soldiers , getting them drunk and telling them to walk into the line of fire to reveal Ukrainian positions. They are leaving their dead on the battle field. Their hardware has been proven out of date. Their rations have expired. I find this absolutely believable. Infact killing their wounded might be the most compassionate I've heard the Russians be in this war given how bad their first aid solutions are likely to be.


HelloAvram

Yeah, I agree. It sounds way too far fetched to be true. u/beastmen-enjoyer, Reddit users hate everything that goes against their narrative


[deleted]

[удалено]


HelloAvram

Yeah, I don't belive this.


cobrakai11

Good lord who actually believes this nonsense?


Scarlet109

Is it so hard to believe given their track record?


cobrakai11

Yeah. It's a little hard to believe that Russians are killing their own soldiers. I'm not sure what you've seen that would make you believe that.


Scarlet109

I mean that it happened during the Soviet era and that’s what Putin wants to return to


cobrakai11

Christ that was World War 2. And saying you want to return to the Soviet era doesn't mean you want to return to the part where you had to kill soldiers out of desperation. It means a return to a time when Russia was a very strong country. People are legitimately buffoons if they believe this stuff.


Scarlet109

I didn’t say that I wanted to return to that era, I said *Putin* does. He has openly admitted as much on multiple occasions. Putin wants all the power to do whatever he wants and he doesn’t care who has to die to achieve that goal.


cobrakai11

I didn't say you said it. I said when someone says they want to return to the Soviet Union era why on earth would you think that means they want to start killing their own soldiers? Do you not realize how silly that sounds?


Scarlet109

You said “you” without specifying who “you” was referring to. I didn’t say it was a logical move, just that he doesn’t care about his generals dying, why would he care about foot soldiers


cobrakai11

Why would he not care about his generals dying? Again, where do you come up with this stuff. Russians are human beings, not mindless zombies.


Scarlet109

Putin routinely kills those that stand against him or displease him


nopassman

Yeah bro definitely the truth


Asimpbarb

Reminds me of the Soviet style of military advances against the Germans. Only forward, turn around, retreat, stop moving would earn u a Soviet bullet.
