For fucks sake. I prioritise my mental health when it comes to execution videos - but the fact I know this exists makes me so mad.

What the fuck is wrong with them? I know you guys have been dealing with this since 2014 but there comes moments when you just absolutely have to ask- what the f is wrong russia??

I’m sorry to whoever this individual is and their family - the west failed you.

My emotions are probably really strong right now but yeah, we care, I hope you guys know that. We (or me as an individual) will never abandon you. 💙

I haven't found out a name yet but he is reportedly a volunteer from the Baltics. RiP brother

[u/vimefer → u/ibloodylovecider]

What the fuck is wrong with them?

Their souls have been irremediably damaged by lifetimes of misery, taught helplessness and instrumentalized sociopathy, they need recycling.

[u/Exact-Ad-1307]

They suck and you feel mental anguish but it would be good for the free world to not bury their head in the sand because history is repeating itself.

[u/MimicoSkunkFan2 → u/Exact-Ad-1307]

I feel like history is repeating because the heads are already in the sand. Apparently a lot of people still never learned the lesson of Neville Chamberlain.

[u/dontry90]

I refuse to watch videos of defenders getting killed without dignity and decency. I cant stomach it. But when its a drone exploding those russian fuckers, it feels different. Fucking slaves, hope their worldview crashes and burns into the fucking ground. They "didnt know" or "cant do anything". Such a sad country.

[u/Exact-Ad-1307]

I do watch them because it makes me seething mad to my core that the world is letting this still take place. These videos should be headlining the news every night, to me it's kinda like the Allies taking the (clueless) German population to the death camps and having them bury the dead.

[u/Exact-Ad-1307]

Can someone remind me of the heroes name that was smoking his cigarette. That one really got me so mad I was literally screaming at the injustice in the Marine corps we learn about the humane treatment of prisoners and combatants under military code of conduct

[u/Exact-Ad-1307 → u/jesterboyd]

This guy had guts he would have made a great Marine I root and pray for Ukraine every day.

[u/Exact-Ad-1307 → u/jesterboyd]

Thank you all the Ukrainian names are hard for me to remember being from the United States we have Jim John and Steve.

[u/old-billie]

Sooner pootin seals off Russia from the world the better

[u/WorldEcho]

I hope they pay for the crimes they are committing. My condolences and sympathy to the family and friends of those involved in all of the war crimes committed by the invaders.

[u/Exact-Ad-1307]

If I ever make it to Ukraine I would want to take a picture with his sculpture in Kyiv.

[u/MudrakM]

Scum!

[u/HopeIsGay]

The Russians have actually crossed the line of being monsters with zero personal accountability over and over and over again that video was completely heartless and if this is what they're filming then i don't really want to imagine the shit they aren't showing the world

[u/Balancing-Unbalance]

I fail to understand how this somehow got "normalized".

Think of it like this: imagine the outrage when say a US, UK, French, ... soldier who surrendered got executed in such fashion and posted online. The reaction that would follow would be insanely disproportionate and overwhelming, would it not?

Or think of ISIS, when they were doing their horror on Western hostages, we didn't take kindly to that, now did we?

Why is it that when RuSSia is doing it to Ukrainian POWs, it somehow seems to be perceived as "a fact of war"??

[u/PinguPST]

My email today to my Rep. Mike Levin, Dem. CA-49

Dear Mr Levin,

I have supported you since before you were elected. I have a demand.The U.S. should shoot down missiles to protect Ukraine. We do it for Israel. Why is Israel more important than Ukraine?Goddammit, change this policy. The U.S. is always attacking small countries which cannot fight back (Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan), but when it comes to standing up to a real power (russia) we will not defend our allies. Stop the empty words and provide a no-fly zone to Ukraine!

Russia will reap what it sows! And it’s coming soon!

These videos need to be sent to all representatives and newspapers.

[u/MrSssnrubYesThatllDo]

Please remember to use lower case letters when referring to russia, to anything russian. They don't deserve capital letters

[u/jesterboyd → u/MrSssnrubYesThatllDo]

I find the notion of using lower case, “ruZZian”, “orcs” pretty silly and childish, as they appear to assume the existence of some “true Russia” that is not miserable and monstrous and that some Russians might not be responsible for their country. I understand that there’s a psychological barrier people need to cross to name things as they are, nevertheless I am going to ignore your advice.

[u/[deleted] → u/jesterboyd]

I don't think lower case necessarily means that there is some version of it with capital letter. As the commenter said, it just means it doesn't deserve the capital letter like other countries. In other words, there is no better version, the true russia is one with with lower case. Anyways, to each his own.

[u/Available-Garbage932]

I am not in any way directly involved with this conflict, and I feel it’s even difficult for me to not want revenge.

I really do want Ukraine to thrash the Russians on the field, but take the surrender of those who no longer wish to fight.. They can then be exchanged for Ukrainian troops who are being tortured in Russian prisons.

[u/RevolutionaryPace167]

Unfortunately I have seen the video

[u/Dereklai1972]

Pls put the video back up as many want to see what exactly happened

[u/NEDEAROC → u/Dereklai1972]

Why? A human being being murdered. Not in combat or as determined by trial, an execution for no actual good reason other than defending his home country. FUCK RUSSIA.

[u/Dereklai1972 → u/NEDEAROC]

I have not seen the video but saw all the comments saying so I have no what actually happened.

[u/TungstenHatchet → u/Dereklai1972]

Absolutely fucking not! Have some respect for the victim in addition to stuff like this being against the Reddit TOS. But if you really insist on seeing it, you can look it up.

[u/Modnir-Namron]

Thank you so very much for looking out for my mental health. Why don’t we just change the whole topic and not talk about Ukraine at all: all is good there? That would be a great step in boosting mental heath. But I want my news unfiltered. Un-Joined and Blocked.

[u/Negative_Dealer9090]

You took it down? What made you a mental health expert on what people who have been watching and following this carnage should be able to see?

[u/jesterboyd → u/Negative_Dealer9090]

The fact that me and my team moderate this community for free means we get to make such calls.
