The Russian army is an anarchy.

In a new video, which I will not be sharing, three Russian soldiers are crossing open terrain.

A Ukrainian FPV drone attacks and hits close to the second soldier, who falls to the ground, wounded.

This is the point where every decent army in the world would call for a medical evacuation, but not the Russian army. Instead, the third soldier walks up to the wounded, places his rifle near the temple of the soldier’s head and pulls the trigger.

Pure barbarism.

Splitting hairs here, but anarchy =/= barbarism, except in anti-anarchist propaganda.

@randahl It is barbarous. The current Russian army is no different than Stalin’s army. In the west, we value lives of soldiers. The Russians never gave fuck. Stalin would throw entire divisions to their deaths. They are - always have been and we should not be surprised at their brutality including against themselves

@randahl Description is better than video and conveys the horror of what's happening. Video desensitizes people because they don't really process what they are watching.

@randahl One of grim hallmarks of this war is that both sides admit it is very difficult to evacuate wounded from the front line. It usually happens at night when drone threat is less which affects survivability a lot.

@shuro sure, but I hope we can agree, there is no excuse for this killing of a wounded person.

@randahl Every month a football stadium full of dead and wounded soldiers. I look at the European Championship matches very differently

@randahl when will they turn their guns on the officers and eventually Putin?

@BLTpizza Prigozhin already did.
