Chechnya
Some may have seen before, i haven't seen it since about a decade ago but if anyone has any info on it possibly being fake, id really like to know.
History repeats itself
Indeed.
While not in any way excusing it, it is simply the Russian way of waging war - casual savagery - since the time of the Czars.
What we are seeing now is a repeat of Chechnya - the only difference being it's in high definition colour, near real time and able to be seen by a much wider proportion of the global population due to the Internet.
Their behaviour in combat is the result of many hundreds of years of history and culture, absolutist rulers, medieval servitude, fatalism and resignation.
UPDATE:
If this is true - it could be game-changing: US to supply ATACMS to UKR.
