    I got banned from a sub for saying a video of a russian soldier shooting himself five feet from his troop was sad. I dont like Russia right now, but that is still sad and fucked.

      The removal of a Russian army function is not sad, but the death and suicide of a human being is very sad. If the person saw desertion as an exit strategy, they might have saved and turned their life around, but there probably were reasons that they didn’t see that as viable or desirable.

        They were like laying there all half dead already. It was just a video of the end of a life we don’t know.

          I saw that too and it fucked me up.

          Fuck Russia and Putin for putting his own people in that position.
