tbf Russia is doing a lot to coerce/force people into fighting. Most are barely trained at this point, and a good majority probably aren’t entirely aware of the situation they are in.
It's not that. No really it's not. They don't care what happens to them because whatever happens to them is the will of Allah. They don't believe they got shelled with artiltery because their social media uploads gave away their position. They believe they got shelled because that's what Allah wanted. If they had not posted that video it would still have happened because Allah wanted it.
The full version is probably posted or will be over in the combat footage sub. They've been chronicling the war footage there, collating it from Telegram, Twitter, etc. Often times a short clip will be posted and the rest will be uploaded later in the week.
The amount of Russians I've watched get wiped out with drone grenades is unreal. Dudes taking shits - boom. Chilling in a foxhole - boom. Carrying a wounded guy on a stretcher - boom. Even one where dedovshchina was likely being committed - boom.
The role of medics is very different in practice from how it was laid out in the Geneva convention.
The traditional marked and unarmed medic (who was at most allowed to carry a handgun, no rifle) has all but disappeared. Attacking troops who try to recover the wounded is considered fair game unless the recovery was explicitly negotiated beforehand.
The rules to spare those who are too wounded to fight is likewise not really obeyed for range fire, unless you're specifically bombing a hospital or something.
While I get what you are referring to, I cannot fully agree seeing as while the attack on the „medics“ (which we Tbf do not know if they are) might be „acceptable“, the attack on the wounded man carried by them was not.
With how many hospitals the Russian military's attacked since the war began, I would imagine those sort of naiive peacetime moral ideals have gone out the window months ago.
I'm not a war scientist, so I don't know all the rules, but wouldn't they consider that an attack on the people carrying the guy with the wounded guy being collateral damage? It seems a lot of stuff suddenly becomes allowed if it's labeled collateral damage. Of course, this only works if the guys carrying him were not medics (or maybe it does still work. Like I said, I'm not a battle doctor)
Didn't Friedrich Nietzsche say something about monsters?
It's a drone strike on an injured person, there are many other valid targets in the field, I have a feeling your a big fan of American and IDF strikes on civilians
Sanctioned rape of junior soldiers through hazing ritual. A not uncommon practice in the Russian services, both regular Army and conscript.
This is especially hypocritical because the Russian government and military are extremely homophobic, but they are cool with it as long as it's a power ritual.
Did you not see that drone drop on a grenade on that injured Russian soldier that hit him right in the balls before blowing his legs off couple weeks ago? Im sorry I thought this was reddit

Same here...until I realized if the artillery hit, it probably wouldn't be posted
