I'm sure some here will love this, but it's a war crime.  "Both Russia and Ukraine are Parties to the 1949 Geneva Conventions and the 1977 Additional Protocols. Accordingly, they are bound by those instruments, as well as the customary international law of armed conflict."

This is why you don't share war footage.

Remember folks, you can't surrender to a drone.

Ukraine tells us it is the front line, defending democracy and Western values.

The account says it's not possible to surrender to a drone.  Iraqis surrendered to AH-64s in 1991.

And earlier this year.

Really? It has happened .

You certainly don't share pictures and videos of fucking war crimes and then publicly laugh about it.  Because then it's obvious that in your unit, if not your entire Army, that you commit war crimes.

Wtf were they supposed to do?  Is the drone gonna swoop down and secure him and put him in a camp?

If they quit dropping bombs on him and leave, then he walks off, gets patched up and lives to fight another day.

Despite a government driven MSM and online spam campaign, designed to rig the PR game in Ukraine's favor, the Ukrainians still manage to make themselves look absolutely abhorrent. Compare to the kneecap shooting video, also starring Ukrainians.  

Once the Ukraine shill script hits something like this, they have to reboot and go back to knock-knock who's there nonsense like "But Russia could just surrender and go home!" or "But what about kyiv/kiev in 2 days!"

That's why discipline exists.  When soldiers abandon their (alleged) values because the other side is brutal then there is no difference.

In WWII the Red Army did that.  They decided to be as brutal as the Germans.  Tit for tat.  In the end, both were blood drenched brutes.  Both were butchers serving evil leaders.

Under the Geneva and Hague conventions, as well as the laws and customs of war, the bombing of Japan was a legitimate action.

The US didn't machine guns Japanese sailors in the water (the Japanese did, and behead US sailors pulled from the water).

I'm just saying the drone can't take you to a POW camp if you surrender. It's a war, you're either in the battle or you're not.
Todays battle plan: Throw your hands up until the drone flies over, then get back to fighting.

Whatever leadership they have there should be putting an end to this drone footage bullshit.

Yeah, the popular "sunroof" video was proof of that. The second drop on it was them very clearly targeting a vehicle that was attempting to transport wounded to receive medical care (which they knew because the first drop is what wounded them).

That said, it's hard to blame them. If someone kicks down your door, you use any means necessary to end the threat.  The Russians don't get to invade then play the victim.

It helps when you win.  (For your first paragraph.)  There was zero chance of the Allies determining that our conduct in Meetinghouse or Starvation was going to be interpreted as a war crime.

Agree with your second paragraph, and with your original point that this video is an own goal for the Ukrainians.  Assuming it's their video.

And on your first paragraph, does that logic apply to the conduct captured in the infamous wikileaks footage of the Apache lighting up the guy with the minivan picking up wounded?  

Unless the van or the "clearly targeted" vehicle in your case are clearly placarded as medical/non-combatant personnel, I'd say that neither are war crimes, but it's something to look at.  Again, not something to be bragging about on social media.

They knew the car was transporting wounded because they're the ones who wounded them.

The drone made a drop and went back for a reload. When it came back the soldiers were bandaged up and trying to load into the car that got targeted.

Clearly marked or not, they knew the soldiers were fleeing for medical aid.

The US most definitely DID the former. They also strafed parachuting airmen on occasion.

Here I am, responding to the ArfCommies.  ArfCommies never met a Russian they wouldn't hastily trip and fall down to suck off.  

I don't care what the Ukrainians are doing,  when Russians kill Ukrainian civilians in  warcrime invasion, this is what you get.  

Guess who is under investigation for war crimes officially?  Putin.  He'll eventually get what's coming to him.
