If someone thinks Ukraine’s morale will be “discouraged” due to that POW castration video and all things like that going viral, I have to ruin such expectations, to put it softly. It just shows the world what kind of thing some in the West are trying to “appease.”
And Russia wonders why they are a pariah state? Such outrages make it easier for the other countries to make decisions to stop their grotesque misdeeds. Whenever Lavrov's corpulent features turn up in public, he embodies the morality that the Russians have reverted to under their Dear Leader. How the Russians become normalized to civilization will be a challenge. Economics becomes a driver, but even now, the Russians get "support" from states that are getting oil for cash, at. a price below Russia's production cost. That is the consequence of the population's acceptance of the short-term gains of having a tough guy image of the dictator, and the material benefits that were flowing from the post soviet era that were attributed to the goat.
