This is a true face of the russia that trump is so eager to hand Ukraine over to.

[–] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 44 points 1 month ago (2 children)

no doubt Trump supports severe abuse of pows

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Republicans have enjoyed this type of thing for a long time, the only difference here is that we aren't torturing the people directly ourselves, yet

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We have absolutely no idea what's going on in Gitmo right now. I definitely think we're torturing a shitload of people.

Oh no we are definitely torturing other people, just not Ukrainians in Ukraine. Or at least it's not a priority to torture them, since the focus is on doing it to migrants instead. Also have to assume Putin called dibs on torturing Ukrainians.

He famously said he likes people that weren't captured.

[–] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

He probably does like them and goes in their cell and rapes them himself. Especially if they're young...like Epstein island young

[–] WatDabney@fedia.io 113 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As I've said many times, Trump and Musk and so much of the American right are pro-Russia largely because they have so many shared values.

MAGA republicans are looking forward to the time when they too will be able to torture and strip female prisoners and parade them around naked.

[–] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Or clothe them in Handmaids dresses.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 63 points 1 month ago

Harris would have kept supporting Ukraine’s defensive efforts.

[–] SteveDinn@lemmy.ca 47 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm no international law expert but I don't think that follows the Geneva convention.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

First time? Yeah. The russian state is . . not . . . good.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Fucking Russians, scum of the Earth

[–] unhrpetby@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Blanket statements of a group are harmful.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Except for old people. Lemmy loves it some boomer hate.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

Boomer is a state of mind.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You have been site-banned from .ml

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

They can't ban me if I block them all

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I just don't understand how you could treat another human like this. There are certainly humans I despise but I would never wish it upon another living being, let alone a human to be tortured and/or sexually mistreated. It makes me sick.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

The first step is to stop seeing them as human. That's why Trump keeps trying to dehumanize trans people and immigrants.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

That's the thing; They don't consider them human.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Hey, American voted for the exact same kind of guy who would do this too. Maybe shoot them in the legs too.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

Literal Nazi shit from the army that is supposedly in Ukraine to stop Nazis.

[–] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

the only good russian is a dead russian

[–] unhrpetby@sh.itjust.works 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Blanket, emotional statements are harmful.

[–] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's not emotional, it's a statement of fact. These motherfuckers killed the parents of 20,000 Ukrainians and stole their children. Think about a people that would do that. If America starts doing shit like this over the next few years, I'll apply it to us too.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The US already kidnapped and stole a ton of kids last time Trump was president. The American public said "yes please" when offered a second round. You're already there.

[–] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Agreed what Trump did is awful and he should pay for it. It's not remotely comparable to what Russia has done and you and everyone who upvoted you know that. Definitely not saying he won't get there.

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Your view only perpetuates that cycle. Grouping people the way you are will never end the cycle, at best it will just turn the wheel.

[–] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

What would actually end the current cycle of shit from Russia is NATO troops in Ukraine killing russian troops. But yeah, also the yoda shit you said.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 15 points 1 month ago

Ah, just like good old Abu Ghraib. Must be taking notes from the US on how to ingratiate yourself to the liberated population.

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

Trumps kind of people!

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

All you lot do is talk about Elon, Trump, and Putin.

Read the fucking article for once—might actually inspire you to get something done.

[–] Dutczar@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I read it, I don't get your point
