A wounded man lies in a muddy ditch, stripped of his uniform and too weak to stand. His ribs protrude beneath the chain of his dog tags, the only trace of the soldier he once was. He murmurs incoherently, clearly too mentally incapacitated to communicate or move.
The man in the video is one of several mentally disabled men reportedly sent to the front line by Russia, The Telegraph has been told.
Ukrainian officials say it is a strategy that reflects Moscow's growing reliance on vulnerable recruits and its willingness to deploy an almost limitless supply of manpower to make gains on the front lines, regardless of the human cost.

Yes, as if Ukraine only recruits young, fit, and enthusiastic soldiers. Such tripe. Sadly war is a nasty business, and neither side can cover itself in glory. The sooner it's over the better, but those who think that can happen without major territorial concessions from Ukraine are living in loo-lah land.

Oh look, it's Burdizzo back to 'both sides' the Russian invasion of Ukraine. An insidious form of pro-Russian propaganda in itself. Odd how some posters are really triggered by criticism of Russia.

By all means Burdy, provide the link to the severely mentally disabled Ukrainian soldiers.

As for territorial concessions, Ukraine won't give up its people to Russification (genocide) or recognise Russian sovereignty over its land.

How odd to hear an Irishman call such a thing 'loo-lah land'. Absolute hypocrite.

Here theres 1 country defending themselves and another invading it. What if the UK was like Russia. They invade Ireland and have us wrapped up by lunchtime, saying we all give up based on chatter on here, and rely on peace terms after.

The both siders would have a field day claiming that EU an member on Britain's border, crooked politicians like Michael Lowry and far right nazis like Justin Barrett made it necessary for Britain to invade.

Don't forget all the ethnic English speakers that need saving from persecution.

You're quoting The Spectator ffs. You don't even acknowledge that. A right wing war hawk editorial that has a disgusting history of islamaphobia and has a disgusting history of whitewashing and supporting genocide.

You have lost all credibility here.

My first engagement with you was because you took issue with a post I made on the Irish President thread. I read a few posts from you and others which sought to completely misrepresent and smear the Irish President due to the fact she is quite rightly critical of Western foreign policy. You smeared her with utterly baseless allegations because you disagree with her perfectly valid points.

You are now putting forward articles for a disgraced right wing editorial that looks to further smear a left wing politician of the utmost integrity because she is also critical of the Wests neo liberal war hawk policy.

Further to that I have exposed you of being utterly obsessed with Ukraine but completely ambivalent to a genocide in Gaza. You have taken to putting forward the views of genocide deniers as credible, as we have seen with your referencing of The Spectator as credible. You have relentlessly and baselessly smeared left wing politicians who have been a great advocate for Palestine and have also been consistent with their condemnation and objection to Putin.

You are not sincere. How on earth could any decent human being think that what is happening in Ukraine is worse than the Genocide in Gaza.. you're like Piers Morgan - just a right wing troll who believes in nothing.

I will leave you to this thread now and your fascist rantings.

1. You haven't been able to rebut a single thing in the article by the Ukrainian journalist -> you resort instead to cry about the Spectator. Deflection, pure and simple.

2. You haven't been able to rebut any of the valid criticism I made about president elect CC -> you resort instead to baseless claims about 'smears'.

3. CC's points aren't valid and I outlined why - you and others were unable to rebut what I said - > you resort then to just repeat your baseless claims about 'smears'.

4. You make various claims and then when challenged you are unable to rebut -> You are unable to provide a single example of an agreement Ukraine has broken with Russia. (And ignore that Russia has broken EVERY agreement with Ukraine.

5.I am not ambivalent to the genocide in Gaza -> I have condemned it. I don't need to post about it. There are no braindead genocide deniers and apologists mucking up the Gaza thread.

6. I have never once stated that what is happening in Ukraine is worse than Gaza -> more made up shite from you.

7. Your first engagement with me..., aye no worries numbSkull.

8. Run along then. If you don't to engage with me don't make piss poor attempts at trolling on this thread.

Darth Putin
The "pro Hamas tankie 2.0". Says you have to let a nuclear power take over territory and remove the inhabitants to prevent nuclear war. Gets very angry, overloads & then reboots as the "what about tankie" when told about the irony of this.

I've had a look at his account on X for you, I don't think he does. I also checked to see if he had a label for Pro-Russian Palestinians. Doesn't seem to have that either.

He seems to reserve his ire for braindead westerners, rather than labelling the victims of aggression in either conflict.
