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

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 week ago (2 children)

no doubt Trump supports severe abuse of pows

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

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

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.

Or clothe them in Handmaids dresses.

Harris would have kept supporting Ukraine’s defensive efforts.

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Fucking Russians, scum of the Earth

You have been site-banned from .ml

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

They can't ban me if I block them all

Blanket statements of a group are harmful.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Boomer is a state of mind.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Trumps kind of people!
