ngl, the gratuitous zoom-in bothers me somewhat. I've seen plenty of gore over the years and that's honestly nothing. But why zoom in?
I'm worried that I'm starting to see a level of bloodlust in some of these releases, that is more befitting of orcs. We, men, must try to force ourselves to be better than this.
It is the Ukrainian heart that makes them better than the Russians, and I hope they fight to defend that as powerfully as they fight for Andiivka.
Slava Ukraini.
why print scary diseases on a pack of smokes? to scare off
You really think Russian conscripts can be scared into surrender? Terror is their whole lives, they live and breathe it. You want to be scarier than their own compatriots?
Surrender, no. Mutiny, absolutely.
yes, I do. motivated with overwhelming force, fear of horrible death from nowhere, and free life abroad after surrender.
Attempting to use fear to manipulate them is a dubious idea. You cannot truly make them more scared of you than they are of Vladimir Putin. Frankly, they should be more scared of Putin, he's more dangerous to them than the Ukrainian army. You cannot change this without becoming just like him.
You have to offer the carrot to entice surrender, not merely wave the stick harder.
Enticing Russians to surrender or work for Ukraine is a more clandestine operation. We usually only see this side of it.
