Just realised google can translate text in images, the text on the side says "Glory to Ukraine! Glory to heroes!", the text on the box top says "A trophy token from a destroyed Russian tank".
The Afghan commandos fought well - they were let down by the rest of the forces, which disintegrated as the Taliban closed in on Kabul.
They weren't very effective in the face of an existential threat from the talliban. They should however fit right in when it comes time to turn and run, leaving all of their kit behind.
*Every US president stretching back 20 years. The American public had enough, so Trump/Biden had to do the inevitable. Which resulted in the evitable.
If they weren't going to fight to the death for their own country they sure as hell won't be doing it for Russia.
And that would be one surefire way of having every drone factory in Iran completely destroyed.
No need to waste a drone at that.
And how many Ukrainian civilians or defenders did that tank and the poor wretches inside, as you put it, kill or seriously maim?
You'd swear the Ukrainians had blown an armored creche.
My sympathy for them is deep as a puddle.
Besides we've no confirmation that there was actually anyone killed when the tank was destroyed which makes your misplaced sympathy doubly stupid.
But Vodka death rate still probably highest of the lot, taking into account both road traffic accidents and health issues.
You're quite right, they were ordered to Ukraine, by a madman. And how many reports did we hear early in the War of the shock they got when the Ukrainians didn't welcome them with open arms, just like kindly Uncle Vlad said they would.
And just like the cannon fodder in any War, they died pissing themselves, screaming for their mothers.
The Geneva Convention seeks to give a bit of dignity in awfulness. Try giving them the same.
They need to turn their guns away from the Ukrainians and on their own political masters.
Yeah theres just as much a chance that they ran away.
Except wait, the Ukrainians didn't blow up abandoned tanks they reflagged them and put them into service.
I'm quite sure these Russian tank regiments killed hundreds, if not thousands of Ukrainian servicemen and civilians, illegally and horrifically, but this isn't about moral equivalence, its about decency, which third parties offered these trophies have the right to choose.
And buying them is indecent.
They could have refused, they could have run away, they could have surrendered..but no they were on a murderous rampage in their tank out to slaughter innocents, no pity whatsoever.
Fcuk them
Often tanks don't immediately explode in a ball of flames the second they're hit. So your pathetic babbling about these poor ickle imaginary Russians that died in the making of a few dog tags is absurd.
Presumably then you also don't support the giving of military aid by the Western World to Ukraine then? Think of all those poor unfortunate Russian invaders that have been feeling the heat of Western weapons😭. The Ukranian nation would've been rolled over without NATO support. Their population subjected to genocidal brutality. But no no giving them support by buying a memento is indecent. Spare me 🙄.
There is no moral equivalence to be made. Once side is right and one is wrong in this conflict and that's as simple as it gets.
I'll buy one of these dog tags and hope that my money finds its way to the barrel of an NLAW or Javelin. And ill sleep like a fuckin baby. Thanks.
I support giving Ukraine any weapons, fuel, ammo, food and medical supplies they need.
I actually advocate giving them the big guided missiles and advanced anti-air systems and also using NATO fighters to close the airspace. I'd have sunk the Black Sea fleet by now and destroyed both spans of the Kerch bridge entirely and probably helped Ukraine to destroy Belgorod.
I think any Russian troops who wear civilian clothes to try and evade attack and who employ human shields should be put up against the wall.
But thats all fair in War, especially a War not of Ukraine's making.
Trophies and momentos of War however, are all indecent. And they reduce the dignity of anyone who would take them. Just the same as desecrating enemy dead or abusing prisoners or raping civilians is.
To win a War, really win one, you need to prevail without employing the behaviour of an inhumane enemy. Or else whats the point?
I sent Ukraine some money to buy bullets or other weapons with and I would take exception if you were to level some similar negative accusations at me for doing so.
Those dog tags made from a tank are just a way to raise money for the best cause on the planet right now. Nothing ghoulish about them at all.
There are current fundraisers for a surveilance drone, thermal imager, strike drones... and not one of them is intended for anything other than to help kill Orcs. They are even auctioning off a AT-4 launch tube that was used to fire a missile that take out a tank.
Buying a piece of a non operational armored vehicle to support a just cause is indecent in the same way as raping civilians?
You've actually lost grip of reality, sorry.
I'd be all in favour of just sending them the money for nothing in return.
Just a promise that they feed the troops and shoot some Russians.
In no context do I see any value, financial or moral, in souvenirs.
That was a tough read. It's good that they have evidence although it's unlikely that any of the perpetrators will be held to justice.
The worst thing about it is the thought that things like this could well have, and probably did, occur in every major settlement that fell under Russian occupation. God only knows what stories will come out of Kherson and Mariupol when they are finally liberated.
Unfortunately I suspect that the very people who need to read something like this will never do so. It's easier to play the edgy contrarian when you don't need to actually think about what you are implicitly supporting.
I reckon Daly and Wallace could read that whole article and still believe that this is an American led NATO mission.....
There's a lot of idiots in the world.

🇺🇦 General Atomics intends to provide Ukraine with its MQ-9 family of drones
The MQ-9 is being considered as part of broader support for partners in Eastern Europe
That is some serious news.
Looks like Putin wants Ukraine to pay for Kherson city with blood.
They ran over a colonel with a tank.

Slightly off topic but I guess he fired the wrong person
FYI, That’s not Musk’s account that was suspended. The second letter in the “Elon” title is a capital i, not a lowercase L.
Guess Eion Musk pissed off the wrong people.
Apologies for off-topic. Now back to our regular programme.
There's plenty of these sites where you can pay and the money goes to help the war effort. Sometimes literally, such as on..
If the money is helping Ukrainians to escape the death camps and mass, murder I don't have any scruples about where the metal came from. Maybe if they used a Ukrainian tank it would give a different message.
That isn't his account, that is @eIonmusk, the Twitter formatting has I and l identical.
Explain please
They were the only ones who put up a fight,,,,,,but the tribal / clan system beat them. If Putin can motivate them, they will cause problems. The question is will they be motivated, or just there for the money? Bear in mind that their fathers probably fought the Russians and helped drive them out of Afghanistan. So will be interesting to see how it will work out. But one thing for sure, these guys are no joke. They were the cream de la cream if they made it to Afghan special force's and trained by the US special forces.
UK MOD saying Orc troops fleeing Kherson, Orc leadership trying to force them to stay by shooting them.
