Comment on The Ukrainian Army Shoots Russian POWs in the Leg

The Ukrainian strategy in all ways has been "raise costs to Putin until he compromises." This is like some random guys in the field doing their own version of it.

Command and communications were taken out at the start. Russians used radios since then. Starlink was needed to "try" to communicate with troops.
The govt has no control anymore on Ukrainian troops. They are acting independently

That was my impression of things. On the plus side, the battle will rage on longer this way. On the downside, we're going to get stuff like these brutalities because individual commanders are going to rage-torture Russians.

We are going to see Ukrainian-ISIS beheadings and burning alive of POWs like in Syria
This is why I loved Trump. He really did a great job of scaring warmongers, whether Kim Jong, Putin, Zelensky or Xi.
We used to have peace

"If you want peace, prepare for war." Deterrent works. Appeasement does not.
