Tenchu's Thoughts: A RuZZian Soldier Who Has Accepted His Gruesome Fate Here's a graphic video of an injured RuZZian soldier getting bombed by a Ukrainian drone: Was This Russian Soldier Hors de Combat? (substack.com) Ryan McBeth from YouTube argues pretty convincingly that this violates the Geneva Convention regarding out-of-combat soldiers. Whether or not RuZZia and her Z-supporters turn this into a propaganda piece is something that, quite frankly, I don't give a Brandon about. RuZZia really has no moral authority to argue for Geneva Convention privileges on the part of their soldiers, as they clearly don't respect any rules of engagement. On the other hand, I think it's worth talking about what was going through the mind of this poor guy in his final moments of life. *Thought #1: The guy was clearly injured and probably knew that no one was going to rescue him.* I don't know if that's because the RuZZians don't give a Brandon about their own troops and prefer not to risk rescuing "cannon fodder." Or maybe Ukraine was making swift advances, and the RuZZians decided to retreat and shell the area. If any RuZZian soldiers couldn't get out in time, too bad for them. *Thought #2: The cross sign he made with his hand told me that he knew where he was going and was probably seeking redemption for the next life.* This tells me a lot about RuZZian fatalism. He knew his time was up. Did he give a Brandon about whether he was on the "right side of history," or whether he will be looked upon by historians as one of the "good guys"? I really doubt it. Instead, he seemed to have no choice. He was sent into this stupid-ass war of choice because it was his fate. Life dealt him a shitty hand, and at least he has the chance to make peace with God before meeting him face-to-face. This seems to be the attitude of roughly half of all RuZZians. They seem resigned to their fate. They know that they're just pawns in PooTin's chess game, and that nothing makes any sense, but they can't do anything about it. So they have no choice but to trust PooTin with the political sausage-making, and to trust God with absolution. That seems to be the sorry state of the RuZZian soul. *Thought #3: The guy looked like he was already dead, or at least unconscious due to his injuries, by the time the grenade exploded on his body.* No matter what, I don't think that grenade killed him. I think his injuries killed him. I think the decisions of his commanders killed him. Ultimately I think PooTin killed him, all for his imperialistic fantasies. That guy who was flying the drone was just making sure this RuZZian soldier, dead or alive, no longer represented a threat. As for this guy, his death is a sad reminder that life can be cruelly ironic, or ironically cruel. Most of us in the free world take our comfortable lives for granted, but these RuZZian soldiers are being treated just like every other soldier in the vast history of warfare and imperialism. They're just pawns in a sick game between egoists. May God have mercy on their souls. Tenchusatsu
