What. The. Fuck. Fucking Orks, this shit is insane, yet encouraged by their military leadership. Their whole culture (military and otherwise) is rotten to the core.

Anyone got any more material? There's someone I need to convince that Russia is actually evil and that it's not just them responding to the west/nato and that the Ukrainian war was unjustified

Or maybe they're just too susceptible to Russian propaganda, it seems to seep deeply into the psyches of some people- most (from my perspective) it's the conspiracy, anti Vax, "the whole world is against me" type people.

unfortunately I've had to let those friendships go

Or it's the "my government is always right and I don't question the things they are showing me" people

Why is he still drawing breath?

To document, to rightfully trial and convict, to be not as barbaric as the enemy.

You know, like civilized people would.

Those are good reasons, true.

Also very difficult to know under what circumstances this confession was obtained.
