Austria is doing quite well in terms of aid. They are just keeping to their neutrality so no weapons.

Leopard 1s are already in CM. The Canadians have them in Shock Force.

The guy brought the children to Moscow to re-unite them with their Ukrainian mothers.
There are 72.000 registered Ukrainian refugees currently provided for by Austria.
One of my bosses gave an empty appartment for an Ukrainian family to live in for free since the start of the war.
I personally set up a spare bed of mine there.
I do not think that your comparisons to Nazi treatment of jews are justified.

Yeah, not my best look, apologies. I'll save you the trouble though and step away for a bit.

By that same logic, I could wish every single American soldier to suffer and die because of historical US war crimes, atrocities and support for repressive regimes, but that would be absurd - even though the average American combat soldier is a volunteer and has way more political say in the running of his/her country than the average Russian.
 
Do they really have all this information? Where is that coming from? They live in a propaganda bubble and the ones getting mobilised are not the guys with education and wealth. They are mainly poorer guys from the countryside. The ones escaping to the West are the relatively privileged and informed, like the "fortunate sons" who could dodge the draft for Vietnam.
About motivations for going to war, I'm sure some of the Russians want to go plunder, but so do some of the international volunteers going to 'fight for Ukraine'. As we recently saw in the interview with the British volunteer.
In any army, there will be good people and bad people. There are literally hundreds of thousands of individual people with their own motivations and background. Wishing suffering and death on all of them is the wrong way to go, in my opinion. Let's instead wish that the people responsible for this war, and the soldiers who commit war crimes, get what they deserve.
 
If they are even real at all, these intercepted phone calls are cherry picked exactly for the reason to make us feel the Russian army is made up of subhuman brutes bent on rape and plunder.
How many intercepted calls have there been, and how many calls have Russian troops made in total? The Russian army is very large, yet we point to a handful of calls and say "Look, this proves that they are all orks".
Well, I'm 100 pct sure some of them ARE orks and deserve a bad fate. But I'm also sure not all of them are. I'm not going to sit here and look at videos of people getting blown to bits and cheer because I make myself believe I can judge them and their character from a drone view.
I know this is an unpopular and uncomfortable position to take on a military forum in the middle of a horrible war. I don't blame Ukrainians for being in mental survival mode. But when it comes to people like myself and others on this forum, who live safely away from the fighting, I think we should try to keep a sense of perspective and not forget our humanity in this, even though we see so many things done that are inhumane.

Some more scenes how locals meet own army
Russians see this too and in some very rare heads a sparkle appears:

Translation: Khersonians met us with protests. But AFU meet with flowers. Then for what our guys give own life?

Regarding shooting down drones with automatic weapons:
Would this not be a perfect use case for virtual reality training tools?
Shooting down a few hundred of these things in VR should turn any soldier into a human target lead computer.

How can this be not fake?

I am still scratching my head: Is it considered normal these days to provide the opponent with detailed battle damage assessment via social media?!
