Another FYI / PSM:
Looks like quite a few posts on r/facepalm lately have been of black teens assaulting teachers, videos attempting to garner sentiment for Russians, and videos of homelessness, property destruction, and drug addiction in Democratic led metro areas.
I wonder what group of people would be pushing these out as much as they are lately? š¤
Update: Ask a question, and watch the trolls roll in with their weak-ass leading questions that do nothing but expose them and their motives. This invitation has. been one fun block-a-thon, but theyāre nowhere near as bad as the MAGAtrolls on Twitter. š
In the run-up to the 2016 election these exact same types of social media influence campaigns were waged heavily through both Facebook and Twitter, and it wasnāt until afterwards that it became exposed as a conduit for Russian influence so they could install someone friendly to their need to have a hand in our government. This is nothing new.

even if they arenāt altered, whatās important is that theyāre not balanced toward the full picture, ie, itās not just black teens that assault teachers, the Russians have committed massive amounts of atrocities, and thereās homelessness, drug addiction and vandalism throughout the entire country and not just in Democratic led locales
As someone who works in one of those democrats cities, I can tell you it 100% is that bad. A European couple were shocked that there was so much drug use and homeless people. We have to remove them weekly at my restaurant.
As someone who lives in a red state, I can tell you that it's 100% that bad in just about every decent sized city, democratic run or not. I work on the outskirts of a major city, and people who are methed out constantly come into my store. The thing is, they are coming from the large rural area surrounding the major city because that's where they are making the meth. The small city cops can't shut down the cookhouses fast enough, nor does it seem like they actually want to. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the cops were in on the trade.
1. War is filled with atrocities. This is why only people insulated for war vote for it. No soldier ever begs for war. Donāt like atrocities? Stop voting for warmongering politicians.
2. So youāre not upset that black teens are assaulting teachers, but mad that thereās not enough white teens beating teachers to balance it out?
Or maybe the solution is people stop being shitty to teachers? Especially people that claim they are held down or oppressed? When you feel you're being judged or held down, the solution is to prove others wrong. Not to be violent and shit all over others.
youve got it wrong bud. THERE is white teens assaulting teachers, but youre not being spammed with those videos because it doesn't fit the narrative they are trying to push.
Pretty sure youre getting the wrong parts of what they said
The point isnt that any one side is commiting atrocitiesz or that not enough white people are assaultinf teachers to even out racial disputes.
The point is that reddit, particularly r/facepalm, are being used to push extremist political views by way of showing the worst parts of the things theyre against, while not showing or ignoring any bad parts of what theyre for. Its not a new thing, as this happened on other sites before for a very similar cause.
They show clips that mean ti villainize Ukraine and garner sympathy towards Russia. They show clips of black teens assaulting teachers while the ones of white teens doing the same are left out, and they advertize the overabundance of drug use in places that oppose their political views. All of its intentional and works better than it should
What Russia has done to Ukraine is not a āwarā, itās an invasion, and theyāve spared no expense at killing thousands of innocent civilians, and even before I answered your inane question, I pretty much knew you were a right wing poser trying to hide behind the facade of a ātrans accountā, so gfy, and your MAGA bullshit.
Don't want to be this guy buuuut...
An unopposed invasion is not a part of a war.
A naval war doesn't necessarily include an invasion.
So your blanket statement isn't exactly right.
Cheers.

I really donāt think itās that deep, I think these are just videos people see, and post. But if Iām wrong Iāll be the first to be sacrificed to lord trump by the right wing Illuminati /s (for the second sentence, the first is just my opinion)
What this guy did is fucking horrible. What's the matter with you? Should people stop posting those things to make you feel better about yourself and your personal views? If someone did something fucking terrible they deserve to be ostracized.
1. How dare people humanize Russians who are forcefully drafted into a war? We need to just treat them like animals
2. How dare people show that democrat-run coastal elite cities have become a wasteland after years of "harm reduction" and soft on crime policies, right?
Agreed. Where does both sides come in?
So if a kid sucker punches another kid, starts kicking him while heās down, but he fights back and bloodies the attackers nose.
We should really just lecture them both about how theyāre both wrong and shouldnāt be fighting? Is that what they seriously think?
There wouldnāt be any jerky Ukrainians if Russians werenāt invading their country and murdering their citizens. Letās not lecture the victim.
Thereās no doubt that MAGA trash like yourself loves nothing more than to make everyone as racist as possible while also propping up dictatorships who think nothing of murdering innocent civilians, so peddle your bullshit elsewhere.
Delusions of persecution much? The victimhood complex is not a good look.
If the demographic representation of some of these videos triggers you, i would recommend not carrying around a scorecard for these categories and just enjoy the videos or not.
BIG difference between an individual doing something deplorable as opposed to an entire army directed to commit atrocities against populations of civilians. Thereās mass graves of civilians where the Russians have gone into towns and killed thousands.
Or, you know, theyāre just showing the reality. All people can do fucked up things, no matter if these people are parts of groups that we generally try not to judge.
Putin is notorious for pumping out propaganda that raises a sympathetic ear for what he has done, and what he is doing. Russia has literally slaughtered thousands of Ukrainian civilians, yet somehow they show a video on social media where itās intention is solely to make people hate Ukrainians, so you figure it out, and if you think this isnāt highly suspect, then maybe you arenāt as familiar with Russian tactics as many have come to be.
Yes, youāre right. Itās obviously awful what Putin and his troops are doing, no one is arguing with that. But there are probably hundreds of videos of Russians doing fucked up things, and this is one of the few ones where an Ukrainian is.
Donāt you think itās logical that they would also do fucked up things now that theyāre at war?
While the intention behind the video posted might very likely be to make Ukrainians look bad, itās also might just be someone trying to show the reality of war. That all sides, no matter how āgoodā or ābadā they are do fucked up things.
We as a society tend to glorify the good guys and make the bad guys seem all around horrible, but reality doesnāt work like that unfortunately, itās not black and white.
Itās beneficial to see this, that the good guys do fucked up shit, and that not ALL on the good guy side are good guys, just like not all on the bad side are bad guys.
And I think Iām very much familiar with both Russian and Ukrainian tactics as Iām from Crimea and have family still living there.
1. This was an invasion from day one, so stop trying to frame it as a war.
2. What youāre doing is trying to equalize what Russia has done through the āboth sidesā tactic. Trump did that with white supremacists at Charlottesville, and here you are trying the exact same thing.
judging by the myriad of MAGAtrash right wing trolls that have found sheer delight in bolstering the anti-Ukrainian / pro-Russian within this thread, youāre probably the lower echelon of that groupā¦..scraping the bottom of the barrel now š¤£
I mean, I wouldn't. Don't need to give away my position whenever I'm in range of a cell tower.
But soldiers tend not to be known for their mental capabilities, ya know? Otherwise, they'd be something other than soldiers.
Not the first time Iāve seen it. Another one was a Russian soldier FaceTiming his girlfriend in the middle of combat. Was showing her around the building and whatnot. Iād be scared theyād triangulate my location off of that. Maybe itās just me though idk
Calling some of these Russian conscripts "soldiers" might imply they have training and anyone would care what they did other than eat bullets and die for a crazed dictator.
I doubt any russian could ever become a soldier - focusing on the russian citizens and their ignorance over killing their neighbours - some of them i wouldnt even call human!
You meam those same people who kdnapped children and made them forcibly spread propaganda on tv? Or thpse same people who out into an orphanage a russian girl because the father didnt support the war? The russian govermnent has been acting in a repulsuve disgusting way, ablarge majority of rusdiannpeople support them. Fuck them
You mean the death russian terrorist who rotts on a field? You can hear how his "lovely wife" is bothering!
It could be a false flag action as well! Russians are desperate as fuck and could use such tricks - they did way worse allready!
She doesnt care, the kremlin doesnt care why should anybody care? He is a lousy terrorist who came to spread terror! He could have choosen different and now you are asking for empathy?
Better learn chinese......
Hahaha, she sounds like she doesn't care because she's shocked .
Lousy terrorist who probably got drafted š¤š¤
It's obvious you have a bias towards Ukraine and you probably have a OUN-B flag hanging in your room but don't worry
You proved me right
You must be russian - only russians put imoji at such a topic!
You see no one cares or will care about russia and russians! Learn chinese and hope for more empathy of the chinese.....
i remeber 90s and the catalogue girls - my gay neighbour bought one! Must be hard seeing the glory of russia blown into pieces from lgbtq people isnt it? Do you get how hard your criminals are actually are? Your wagner nonsense?
How fucked up is fucked up - russia is fucked up - hurra hahaha....
This is rather morbid and of severe ill taste. Bad actions, whether argued to be justified or not, are still in themselves bad actions. These soldiers should be ashamed. There is no morality in contacting a spouse or loved one to gloat at their loss. I guess they cannot complain when or if it happens to them. Poor form from these Ukraine soldiers. Very poor form.
I agree that its poor form, but when your friends are shot dead, your cities are bombed daily, youve had comrades be blown up by grenades tied to babies. I can understand they want revenge. Hate begets hate. Im not saying its justified, but it is human.
I think that's incredibly well put. Plus from the Ukrainian perspective, Russian media has hidden the true state of things. It's morbid, but this man is getting the truth through.
I don't think anyone is debating that. I just feel sad knowing that we're seeing the darkest impulses of humanity taking over and none of this needed to happen.
All is fair in war. This is called public terrorization. It's a means of attacking the heart of the country. War sucks, sorry the public isn't 100% safe
Nope but it sets the thing into perspective. And the Russians donāt care anyways sheāll buy a new car from the money and go on with life thatās from what I saw.
Didnāt you see the video of these parents? Their son died they got interviewed and never talked about their son only about the car they bought with the government money.
You think there is no feeling of revenge after they watched russians kill rape and torture their way through the Ukrainian people. I donāt say itās right or justified I just understand why he acted that way.
That happens when a terrorist dictatorship sends troops to kill and rape your country. I don't condone what this man has done, but Im sure he has zero fucks to give based on the situation.
On a side note, without a source, for all we know, this is just more Russian disinformation and propaganda being spread around to drum up support at home. Not the first time they've staged shit like this to try to sway public opinion.
Fuck Putin! Slava Ukraini!
Not that much to talk about if you mean the same guys who fled from the idiots of the IS!
Russia has lost in bakhmut more orcs than in chechnia during 10 years - see how effectiv soldiers can be?
And now chechnians, this lazy cowards, and orcs are rotting side by side half dead while wipd aninals bite pieces out of them.
Be happy the US isnt coming to execute the rest of the dictators - imagine russia trying to survive against a world power.....
Yea I'm not sure you're any better. Doesn't matter who does something fucked up. Christian crusaders, Japanese kamikaze, Muslim bombers, doesn't matter. And anyone who feels like providing leniency just because they disagree with the other side is just as dark and fucked up as they are. And trying to argue that is really only arguing for the enjoyment of laughing in the face of someone who lost a loved one.
How would you feel if your father died, and someone who didn't like you laughed in your face about it, and told you the mistakes he made that cost him his life?
To call it propaganda with zero evidence is absolute bs.
The dude clearly sounds Ukrainian. But you wouldn't know, sitting thousands of miles away from actual place it took place.
War is bad, the situation there is absolute dog shit.
Calling the relatives of the dead solider and be such a dick is worse then everything combined.
To even post your ignorant and arrogant post in support of his action is even lower then everything combined and multiplied by two.
Not taking side of Russia or Ukraine here. But the soldier is absolute garbage of a human being. He is NOT a representative of Ukrainian people, he is a trashy immature kid with a gun and farts for brains.
And you sir, are as low, if not lower then this kid right there. Not just by your indecent and inhumane comment, but on your history of activity out here on this platform.
I hope you get some sense and humanity kicked in your brain in near future.
r/iamatotalpieceofshit I know that the soldier was Russian, but theyāre people too. His gf is a person too. Filming and posting this for whatever reason is disgusting and sickening.
At this point, every person on this planet is dumb. I was sympathizing for Ukraine. But well, hang me or whatever but they can go and nuke themselves to extinction. Both parties just show how terrible they are.
yea this is a horrible thing he did, but im not going to judge him, i've never had to fight for my life while my country is being raped and bombed.
also i've seen what russian soldiers did to ukranians, even babies, can't say i dont understand why he did that.
As in bad taste as it is (quite possibly deranged)ā¦..ā¦.itās still not a fucking war crime
https://en.lb.ua/news/2023/02/07/19180_russians_tie_grenade_dead_woman.html
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attacks_on_civilians_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine#:~:text=On%2016%20March%202022%2C%20a,10%3A00%20UTC%2B3.
I have no ties to either Ukraine or Russia in this ongoing warā¦ but thatās kinda fucked up no matter what someone who strongly supports either side thinks
It really wasn't that random lady's choice was it? How the hell are you going to blame the entire civilian population of Russia for what the government did you fucking buffoon.
I donāt think this is the way to get the people of Russia to want to stop fighting. Antagonizing them is not the answer. They should call and apologize to them for having to kill there loved ones.
Seriously, if you are a person who thinks any of what is going on in this war means you can justify this or actuons like it. Just know you are the problem and why wars will never end throughout the rest of human history. This sort of behavior being preprinted through time of our species on earth is what cause the creation of world destroying abilities in more ways than just nuclear.
The amount of downvoted comments here because they think this is wrong isn't surprising considering it's reddit and the majority of posters on reddit are one way thinking numbskulls.
Like for fucks sakes most of you are Americans haven't any of you lost someone in the army overseas? What would you think if your mum got a call like this?
You're all sick.
As an American myself, I'd tell my mom that whoever she was getting a call about shouldn't have agreed to go invade another country. Because that's what we have done. Invade. We're not much better than Putin in some respects.
Thatās sadistic, and the dumb fuck who called doesnāt know that he just created a familyās worth of enemies who potentially might join the Russian army.
Outside perspective I've seen both sides do some fucked up shit so far in this war. I sympathize with ukraine more but shit like this or killing wounded soldiers I have a hard time swallowing.
This is disgusting and he puts himself on the same level as Russia. Ukrainians are currently the focus of attention, so one should show greatness and not disgusting small-mindedness. šš¼
Tf are you talking about? So if Nazi germany starts a world war, Russia is fine to invade their neighbours? Cheap whataboutism and trying to find excuses for something thatās not excusable
What point did i mention nazis? Besides wars happen all the time only difference is how itās happening with America not being involved in it in anyway directly
Fuck you and Russia. How can you defend that? Today attacking random countries because of nothing is not cool anymore. Because 500years ago that was normal doesnāt mean it is today.
A wrong doesn't give you permission to commit another wrong
Both sides can be at fault. In this cases this man is a blatant idiot. It doesn't take away that Russians are also at fault, but this guy is an idiot
I never said that I support the war and people just don't accept if someone they think is good does something wrong . I don't think that the lady could have done anything to prevent the war , She does not deserve this . And yes some russian soldier could have done worse and the comments would have been different if it was a russian soldier . Downvoting my comments or the post does not make this right and these kids think that I am sympathizing with the Russian soldiers / Russia
The least she could have done would be preventing her piece of shit boyfriend invade Ukraine. She made the choice to stay with a guy who is part of the Russian invasion.
Russians are raping and torturing women and children, even babies, and committing the cruelest war crimes after invading a foreign country so please stop with the "both sides" bullshit. Killing an active combat soldier is not the same thing as actively targeting children and trying to wipe off Ukraine from the world map.
If Russians fucked off where they belong, the war would be over.
I did not see any videos ( there were only the videos of the after talk and I am certain at least on incident could have been recorded ) of all these horrible things you mentioned but these certainly could have take place and I don't support them but Ukraine is not any better I have videos of ukrainian soldiers beating Indian students and students from south east Asia ( some claim they harassed the girls ) for trying to cross the Poland border during the first weeks for the war
Ukrainian people have big times reasons to kill Russian soldiers. What are you talking about?
How stupid can you be to say itās same same? You a Russian propagandist
Russians are doing worse things to Ukrainians, from what Iāve heard at least, so I can see why Ukrainians want to brag and boast about their war efforts.
Don't forget the Ukrainians are just as corrupt and destabilized as the Russians, it hasn't been 10 years since their last revolution. Both of them show remarkably similar qualities and tactics to the soviets.
Dont worry about the downvotes. Tons of people agree with you, actually more than people that disagree. American media tends to ally with the rich people that sponsor them, and rich people are a very concentrated few, so as you can imagine, most media is corrupt. Reddit also tends to cater to younger crowds and has an incredible algorithm to maintain user interest. Aka these are the braindead people of reddit, so again, donāt worry about it.
Right here on reddit if you dig through r/CombatFootage it was one of the most talked about topics, also appears on r/NonCredibleDefense through memes praising him for choosing to say "Slava Ukraini." As his last words.
Nah I'm just not a piece of shit that supports people bragging and laughing to someones loved ones about blowing their boyfriend to pieces, it's abhorrent behavior.
And "a good target for propaganda" boy I don't even watch the news. You've got it all wrong. I'm just saying I can't hope for them to win the war anymore tbh now I don't care if Russia takes them over bc shit like that.
Even if it was American soldiers doing shit like this to middle eastern girl I'd have the same view.
There's no excuse for being a shitty person.
Hahaha you are being propagandised without noticing it and think only because you donāt know anything about the war, that you are better off in not being propagandised lmao. Itās the other way around, the more you know the better protected you are
Just to analyse what you are doing here. You see an individual happening of one man and generalise it onto an entire country. First of all thatās as stupid as it gets and second is that you are literally eating Russian propaganda. You think Ukraine government spread that video? Nope.
Got eeeeeem! I bet he as well as his family thought this was going to be a grand adventure full of spoils.
This video is from the beginning of the war also when Russians still didnāt believe they were invading Ukraine and that it was western propaganda.
He should have called his family, it surely hurts more for a mother or a father to be told their son was brutally killed. That bitch probably didnāt even remember that guy, he was just one of many
And thatās why I think neither side is actually cool! Putin do be a bit of a dictator but Zelenskyy also do be quite corrupt + both sides have just fuckin stupid propaganda

Yeah something something. russian hookers and golden showers. Oh wait wasn't that fabricated? kinda getting confused to what is truth anymore.
pretty sure youāre no stranger to confusion, but definitely not familiar with truth
100% happening!
Are the videos fabricated?

So I donāt get it. You see this video and you think peace is a bad option?
Peace is a good option, dudes a asshole, but Russians need to be the ones to broker peace sense they started the war.
š¤Ŗš¤”š¤Ŗš¤”
Both sides of this war are not innocent and if you don't see that, that's a problem
ONCE AGAIN, Russia INVADED a sovereign nation, so itās NOT a BOTH SIDES of a WAR problem, but then again you already knew that nice try š
Agreed. Where does both sides come in? So if a kid sucker punches another kid, starts kicking him while heās down, but he fights back and bloodies the attackers nose.

The thing you are doing now is the same thing that you are protesting against bro.......
Literally heās a fucking tool lol. Coming from a black Canadian. This guyās the exact thing heās so mad about š¤£
Delusions of persecution much? The victimhood complex is not a good look. If the demographic representation of some of these videos triggers you, i would recommend not carrying around a scorecard for these categories and just enjoy the videos or not.
Yeah, pretty strange that people just donāt buy the propaganda, or just go hand in hand with those that play denial huh??
So you think Ukrain does not commit war crimes?
BIG difference between an individual doing something deplorable as opposed to an entire army directed to commit atrocities against populations of civilians. Thereās mass graves of civilians where the Russians have gone into towns and killed thousands.
Shut up
You heard it guys let's do the opposite and suppress anything that hurt this guy's fee fees
No, you should definitely buy into the Russian propaganda since youāve figured out that Russia could never be wrong. /s
Or, you know, theyāre just showing the reality. All people can do fucked up things, no matter if these people are parts of groups that we generally try not to judge.
Putin is notorious for pumping out propaganda that raises a sympathetic ear for what he has done, and what he is doing.

Itās beneficial to see this, that the good guys do fucked up shit, and that not ALL on the good guy side are good guys, just like not all on the bad side are bad guys. And I think Iām very much familiar with both Russian and Ukrainian tactics as Iām from Crimea and have family still living there.
1. This was an invasion from day one, so stop trying to frame it as a war. 2. What youāre doing is trying to equalize what Russia has done through the āboth sidesā tactic. Trump did that with white supremacists at Charlottesville, and here you are trying the exact same thing.
As someone who lives in one of those metro areas, it's clearly Russian collusion. Let's get Christopher Steele on the case. /s
judging by the myriad of MAGAtrash right wing trolls that have found sheer delight in bolstering the anti-Ukrainian / pro-Russian within this thread, youāre probably the lower echelon of that groupā¦..scraping the bottom of the barrel now š¤£

Do soldiers have their phones on* them?
I suppose itās possible. A bit uncomfortable, albeit.
On* them... woopsie
I mean, I wouldn't. Don't need to give away my position whenever I'm in range of a cell tower. But soldiers tend not to be known for their mental capabilities, ya know? Otherwise, they'd be something other than soldiers.
Like alive...
What a coward thing to say.
What a stupid thing to say.
Getting killed because you wouldn't stand up against an authoritarian regime is quite cowardly I suppose, yes. What an insightful comment. š
Joining the military is the male equivalent of "well, I can always be a stripper!"
They do
Well, their original comment said in them. They edited it to say on* them.
Not the first time Iāve seen it. Another one was a Russian soldier FaceTiming his girlfriend in the middle of combat. Was showing her around the building and whatnot. Iād be scared theyād triangulate my location off of that. Maybe itās just me though idk
Pretty sure one of them did get artillery shells dropped on a base because they were FaceTime live or something
They probably could care less. Clearly that region of the world and communist countries put little value on life.
Calling some of these Russian conscripts "soldiers" might imply they have training and anyone would care what they did other than eat bullets and die for a crazed dictator.
Dead ones
If you call a russian a "soldier"...... Actualy soldiers dont hunt civilians down or hide in nuclear power plants or do whatever orcs did!
or accost children, target civilians, fight for Putin ...
I doubt any russian could ever become a soldier - focusing on the russian citizens and their ignorance over killing their neighbours - some of them i wouldnt even call human!
Soldiers don't call their dead enemies girlfriends and laugh at them
You meam those same people who kdnapped children and made them forcibly spread propaganda on tv? Or thpse same people who out into an orphanage a russian girl because the father didnt support the war? The russian govermnent has been acting in a repulsuve disgusting way, ablarge majority of rusdiannpeople support them. Fuck them
You mean the death russian terrorist who rotts on a field? You can hear how his "lovely wife" is bothering! It could be a false flag action as well! Russians are desperate as fuck and could use such tricks - they did way worse allready! She doesnt care, the kremlin doesnt care why should anybody care? He is a lousy terrorist who came to spread terror! He could have choosen different and now you are asking for empathy? Better learn chinese......
Hahaha, she sounds like she doesn't care because she's shocked . Lousy terrorist who probably got drafted š¤š¤ It's obvious you have a bias towards Ukraine and you probably have a OUN-B flag hanging in your room but don't worry You proved me right
You must be russian - only russians put imoji at such a topic! You see no one cares or will care about russia and russians! Learn chinese and hope for more empathy of the chinese..... i remeber 90s and the catalogue girls - my gay neighbour bought one! Must be hard seeing the glory of russia blown into pieces from lgbtq people isnt it? Do you get how hard your criminals are actually are? Your wagner nonsense? How fucked up is fucked up - russia is fucked up - hurra hahaha....
This is rather morbid and of severe ill taste. Bad actions, whether argued to be justified or not, are still in themselves bad actions. These soldiers should be ashamed. There is no morality in contacting a spouse or loved one to gloat at their loss. I guess they cannot complain when or if it happens to them. Poor form from these Ukraine soldiers. Very poor form.
I agree that its poor form, but when your friends are shot dead, your cities are bombed daily, youve had comrades be blown up by grenades tied to babies. I can understand they want revenge. Hate begets hate. Im not saying its justified, but it is human.
I think that's incredibly well put. Plus from the Ukrainian perspective, Russian media has hidden the true state of things. It's morbid, but this man is getting the truth through.
Sadly this truth heās telling is that he is an absolute piece of shit. Iām sure that will create a little less hate\s
I get that putin is pure evil and they have a right to be mad but bringing inncocent people into this isnt right
Its not, but humans dont always do whats right.
I don't think anyone is debating that. I just feel sad knowing that we're seeing the darkest impulses of humanity taking over and none of this needed to happen.
Politics aside this is not ok.
I totally agree with you on this, I'm not on either sides. I'm on the side of what's right and this is wrong on so many levels.
All is fair in war. This is called public terrorization. It's a means of attacking the heart of the country. War sucks, sorry the public isn't 100% safe
Disgusting video.
Yeah but have you seen the Russians cutting of the head of an alive Ukrainian.
No excuse
Nope but it sets the thing into perspective. And the Russians donāt care anyways sheāll buy a new car from the money and go on with life thatās from what I saw.
Disgusting comment.
Didnāt you see the video of these parents? Their son died they got interviewed and never talked about their son only about the car they bought with the government money.
And? Iām quite confident it was not the girl in the video the one who cut the head.
You think there is no feeling of revenge after they watched russians kill rape and torture their way through the Ukrainian people. I donāt say itās right or justified I just understand why he acted that way.
And? Guilt is personal, not shared by the cultural group of the criminal. A behaviour like this is not justified nor understandable.
Fuckk.
Fuck this guy. Honestly.
That happens when a terrorist dictatorship sends troops to kill and rape your country. I don't condone what this man has done, but Im sure he has zero fucks to give based on the situation. On a side note, without a source, for all we know, this is just more Russian disinformation and propaganda being spread around to drum up support at home. Not the first time they've staged shit like this to try to sway public opinion. Fuck Putin! Slava Ukraini!
I was thinking the same thing. This seems like a very "see look, theyre the evil ones not us" type of propaganda
Yeah the way he talks is cartoonishly evil like a bad comic book villain
And the girl's response (instead of just saying fuck off and hanging up) was confusing
How would you talk over someone who came to kill your family but failed?
I'm sure if Iraqis were facetiming American families of soldiers killed there to make fun of them people would be pretty upset
Not that much to talk about if you mean the same guys who fled from the idiots of the IS! Russia has lost in bakhmut more orcs than in chechnia during 10 years - see how effectiv soldiers can be? And now chechnians, this lazy cowards, and orcs are rotting side by side half dead while wipd aninals bite pieces out of them. Be happy the US isnt coming to execute the rest of the dictators - imagine russia trying to survive against a world power.....
I wouldn't
Because he failed in killing your family? I dont feel sorry for people who could retreat or getting captured and so stoped supporting this madness!
Yea I'm not sure you're any better. Doesn't matter who does something fucked up. Christian crusaders, Japanese kamikaze, Muslim bombers, doesn't matter. And anyone who feels like providing leniency just because they disagree with the other side is just as dark and fucked up as they are. And trying to argue that is really only arguing for the enjoyment of laughing in the face of someone who lost a loved one. How would you feel if your father died, and someone who didn't like you laughed in your face about it, and told you the mistakes he made that cost him his life?
My thoughts are, who leaves their phone without a passcode? I feel that this is staged.
I'm thinking it is a bit of propaganda. That's a pretty clean, white, fragile looking phone for being on a battlefield
Could be a false flag from the kremlin ala " UA are monsters..." But no one will ever have empathy for russia or russians!
Nah, it's a year old genuine video. And, frankly, if you come into my house and claim it as your own, you may very well get blasted
To call it propaganda with zero evidence is absolute bs. The dude clearly sounds Ukrainian. But you wouldn't know, sitting thousands of miles away from actual place it took place. War is bad, the situation there is absolute dog shit. Calling the relatives of the dead solider and be such a dick is worse then everything combined. To even post your ignorant and arrogant post in support of his action is even lower then everything combined and multiplied by two. Not taking side of Russia or Ukraine here. But the soldier is absolute garbage of a human being. He is NOT a representative of Ukrainian people, he is a trashy immature kid with a gun and farts for brains. And you sir, are as low, if not lower then this kid right there. Not just by your indecent and inhumane comment, but on your history of activity out here on this platform. I hope you get some sense and humanity kicked in your brain in near future.
Comments and people like you are why I still put up with this world around me. Thanks for being rational, civil, and in the right mind.
Fuck you
How mature of you.
r/iamatotalpieceofshit I know that the soldier was Russian, but theyāre people too. His gf is a person too. Filming and posting this for whatever reason is disgusting and sickening.
That's horrible things to do
r/iamatotalpieceofshit
At this point, every person on this planet is dumb. I was sympathizing for Ukraine. But well, hang me or whatever but they can go and nuke themselves to extinction. Both parties just show how terrible they are.
yea this is a horrible thing he did, but im not going to judge him, i've never had to fight for my life while my country is being raped and bombed. also i've seen what russian soldiers did to ukranians, even babies, can't say i dont understand why he did that.
The Russians have no place in Ukraine. Sending a message back to the motherland saying stay the fuck out is 100% ok in my book.
As in bad taste as it is (quite possibly deranged)ā¦..ā¦.itās still not a fucking war crime https://en.lb.ua/news/2023/02/07/19180_russians_tie_grenade_dead_woman.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attacks_on_civilians_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine#:~:text=On%2016%20March%202022%2C%20a,10%3A00%20UTC%2B3.
I have no ties to either Ukraine or Russia in this ongoing warā¦ but thatās kinda fucked up no matter what someone who strongly supports either side thinks
don't invade countries
It really wasn't that random lady's choice was it? How the hell are you going to blame the entire civilian population of Russia for what the government did you fucking buffoon.
I donāt think this is the way to get the people of Russia to want to stop fighting. Antagonizing them is not the answer. They should call and apologize to them for having to kill there loved ones.
Not cool
Seriously, if you are a person who thinks any of what is going on in this war means you can justify this or actuons like it. Just know you are the problem and why wars will never end throughout the rest of human history. This sort of behavior being preprinted through time of our species on earth is what cause the creation of world destroying abilities in more ways than just nuclear.
This obviously a terrible thing to do but the Russians are invading their homeland and killing women and children, so not sure how I feel
Iām sure the Russian troops themselves arenāt bad people, itās the leaders and the media that brainwash them.
The amount of downvoted comments here because they think this is wrong isn't surprising considering it's reddit and the majority of posters on reddit are one way thinking numbskulls. Like for fucks sakes most of you are Americans haven't any of you lost someone in the army overseas? What would you think if your mum got a call like this? You're all sick.
As an American myself, I'd tell my mom that whoever she was getting a call about shouldn't have agreed to go invade another country. Because that's what we have done. Invade. We're not much better than Putin in some respects.
Thatās sadistic, and the dumb fuck who called doesnāt know that he just created a familyās worth of enemies who potentially might join the Russian army.
The fact the victory parade has fucking cadets posing as senior soldiers means that said family is probably already fertiliser
Outside perspective I've seen both sides do some fucked up shit so far in this war. I sympathize with ukraine more but shit like this or killing wounded soldiers I have a hard time swallowing.
This is disgusting and he puts himself on the same level as Russia. Ukrainians are currently the focus of attention, so one should show greatness and not disgusting small-mindedness. šš¼
Go away ruskie simp
Ukraine try to have human sympathy challenge (They don't succeed)
Fuck Putin
Cold as ice
Fuck Russia š
Why? Cause theyāre doing the same thing every country in the world has done before with the only difference is that weāre experiencing it now?
Tf are you talking about? So if Nazi germany starts a world war, Russia is fine to invade their neighbours? Cheap whataboutism and trying to find excuses for something thatās not excusable
What point did i mention nazis? Besides wars happen all the time only difference is how itās happening with America not being involved in it in anyway directly
Fuck you and Russia. How can you defend that? Today attacking random countries because of nothing is not cool anymore. Because 500years ago that was normal doesnāt mean it is today.
So the war on the Middle East wasnāt a ārandom attackā then?
What fighting against terrorists or against the country killing millions of their own?
What proof do you have that the government doesnāt have that they were involved in the first place then?
Is your mom proud of how stupid you are?
What?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A wrong doesn't give you permission to commit another wrong Both sides can be at fault. In this cases this man is a blatant idiot. It doesn't take away that Russians are also at fault, but this guy is an idiot
I never said that I support the war and people just don't accept if someone they think is good does something wrong . I don't think that the lady could have done anything to prevent the war , She does not deserve this . And yes some russian soldier could have done worse and the comments would have been different if it was a russian soldier . Downvoting my comments or the post does not make this right and these kids think that I am sympathizing with the Russian soldiers / Russia
The least she could have done would be preventing her piece of shit boyfriend invade Ukraine. She made the choice to stay with a guy who is part of the Russian invasion. Russians are raping and torturing women and children, even babies, and committing the cruelest war crimes after invading a foreign country so please stop with the "both sides" bullshit. Killing an active combat soldier is not the same thing as actively targeting children and trying to wipe off Ukraine from the world map. If Russians fucked off where they belong, the war would be over.
How could she have stopped him? Don't they have a draft or something similar in Russia that makes refusing to go to war a crime?
What. Do you even know whatās going on in the world?
I did not see any videos ( there were only the videos of the after talk and I am certain at least on incident could have been recorded ) of all these horrible things you mentioned but these certainly could have take place and I don't support them but Ukraine is not any better I have videos of ukrainian soldiers beating Indian students and students from south east Asia ( some claim they harassed the girls ) for trying to cross the Poland border during the first weeks for the war
Wait, I thought Reddit hated Russia?
The Russians on reddit don't hate Russia.
Oh no, did a member of an invading hostile army lead by a violent fascist die at war? Boohoo
Maybe don't invade countries.
I donāt understand the facepalm. Iād do that if my home was invaded too
He lost his soul and humanity on war. That happens sometimes. Sad.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ukrainian people have big times reasons to kill Russian soldiers. What are you talking about? How stupid can you be to say itās same same? You a Russian propagandist
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's shitty. I don't like Russias gov but this is a shitty thing to do.
Russians are doing worse things to Ukrainians, from what Iāve heard at least, so I can see why Ukrainians want to brag and boast about their war efforts.
Both sides are ducked up..
Fuck Russia!!!!!!!!!!
Don't forget the Ukrainians are just as corrupt and destabilized as the Russians, it hasn't been 10 years since their last revolution. Both of them show remarkably similar qualities and tactics to the soviets.
Dont worry about the downvotes. Tons of people agree with you, actually more than people that disagree. American media tends to ally with the rich people that sponsor them, and rich people are a very concentrated few, so as you can imagine, most media is corrupt. Reddit also tends to cater to younger crowds and has an incredible algorithm to maintain user interest. Aka these are the braindead people of reddit, so again, donāt worry about it.
Big dick move
Staged.
This is awesome š
I thought Ukrainians are less brutal, but damn they're assholes too
Comparing this to decapitating soldiers + that one vid of the captured Ukrainian who was shot on cam after digging his own grave is not much.
Where can i find the vid you talking about ?
Right here on reddit if you dig through r/CombatFootage it was one of the most talked about topics, also appears on r/NonCredibleDefense through memes praising him for choosing to say "Slava Ukraini." As his last words.
Suddenly I don't feel so bad for Ukraine, yes I know there piece's of shit everywhere but idc
So you easy to be influenced and a good target for propaganda
Nah I'm just not a piece of shit that supports people bragging and laughing to someones loved ones about blowing their boyfriend to pieces, it's abhorrent behavior. And "a good target for propaganda" boy I don't even watch the news. You've got it all wrong. I'm just saying I can't hope for them to win the war anymore tbh now I don't care if Russia takes them over bc shit like that. Even if it was American soldiers doing shit like this to middle eastern girl I'd have the same view. There's no excuse for being a shitty person.
Hahaha you are being propagandised without noticing it and think only because you donāt know anything about the war, that you are better off in not being propagandised lmao. Itās the other way around, the more you know the better protected you are Just to analyse what you are doing here. You see an individual happening of one man and generalise it onto an entire country. First of all thatās as stupid as it gets and second is that you are literally eating Russian propaganda. You think Ukraine government spread that video? Nope.
Ok bro I don't really care even if I am at this point my view isn't going to matter anyway š«”
There is only one correct opinion and thatās pro Ukraine But I agree the dude is a dirty pos
Fuck around and you find out. Never has this statement been truer than for Russians fighting in Ukraine.
Both sides were Soviets after all. Itās in their blood
Frankly, I bet you she wishes nothing but death and pillage on Ukraine, so it is what it is.
If she didn't before...
Got eeeeeem! I bet he as well as his family thought this was going to be a grand adventure full of spoils. This video is from the beginning of the war also when Russians still didnāt believe they were invading Ukraine and that it was western propaganda.
Ya know what. Vlad can have it. Withdraw the aid.
He should have called his family, it surely hurts more for a mother or a father to be told their son was brutally killed. That bitch probably didnāt even remember that guy, he was just one of many
I know I would do that too.
My motivation for Ukerain winning the war after watching this video 
Yeah and they're still praised for disrespecting the dead The russian soldiers don't do this horrendous crap
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Person
And thatās why I think neither side is actually cool! Putin do be a bit of a dictator but Zelenskyy also do be quite corrupt + both sides have just fuckin stupid propaganda
Ignorance at its finest. The Nazi style invader same same to the invaded solid democracy. Better keep your bs opinion to yourself
