[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

Not even strictly authoritarian China would allow a private oligarch to recruit "soldiers" from a federal or state prison, to be used in front lines. Russia, obviously, is an outlier among the world's really big, industrialized societies. But, then, again, it really does seem to make sense, in a very crude, primitive, and heinous way: Putin and Russia know they don't have the resources to feed, cloth, and house those TENS of thousands of criminals in Russian prisons... especially now that their treasuries are running empty, literally, due to this little special operation advanture of Comrade Putin's. So, wasting those 10's of thousands of hardcore criminals, to kill off a thousands of Ukrainians, both professional soldiers and citizens alike, inside Ukraine... is not such a stupid move on the part of Putin...from a strict Machiavellian POV.

This is not unexpected. There was a story that came out of a Russian village that one of their own had committed murder and was only 2 years into a long stretch when he was offered a spot with the Wagner Group. It is a small village in the far east of Russia and the people there prayed he'd die in Ukraine. They heard that he had not only survived but was on his way home. The village leaders tried to get the Oblast government to intervene but were told a contract is a contract and he fulfilled his contract. The people who testified against him were terrified and rightly so. That bullshit about talking someone down "when they are angry and just destroying things" is the biggest load of horse crap I've ever heard. A cold blooded killer will always be a cold blooded killer because they lack empathy for animals and humans alike. That doesn't change. True killers enjoy the thrill of the kill like a junkie who enjoys the thrill as the drug enters their system. The only thing the Russian people can do is lie in wait for their killers return and kill him because they won't stop and someone needs to make them stop.

According to the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, the ages of the victims of sexual assault by Russian soldiers ranged from 4 years old to over 80 years old. I don't know if the 4 year old survived. I guess it depends how many soldiers there were. I lost my compassion after that. Also, Ruzzia had a choice that was denied Ukraine. Ruzzian authorities CHOSE to unleash those creatures on their own population, after all Wagner is Putin's private army. The only thing the Wagner soldiers had to do was survive for 6 months in Ukraine. Complete pardon and record wipe and straight back into "civilisation" when they returned to ruzzia.

[@shaneyaw4542]

Based upon the validity of the information in this report, it can be concluded that the Russians have made a fatal mistake of keeping their soldiers in high intensity combat situations for greater than six (6) months, which is the required time before the average soldier enters either a completely pacified state or a completely aggressive state which renders the soldier completely useless and a danger to the command and other soldiers. Thus, we could possibly see more in-fighting among the Russians which could change the course of the war.

Who would have thought releasing hardcore criminals from prison, giving them the license kill in Ukraine and then allowing back to the society in Russia will work out so well

[@lewisdoherty7621]

Russian (Soviet) management theory: The prisoners likely will die reducing the recidivism rate. Others might be captured and Ukraine will have to take care of them. If they escape in Ukraine, they will commit their depraved acts there and be Ukraine's problem. If they are seriously injured, they may not be able to commit significant crimes. A percentage will get back to Russia, be able to function and there will be problems.

I don't understand how they seem to blame the guy who let them out and not the one responsible for the country. This is sick.

[@jbsmith966]

now who would have thought that recruiting convicts would lead to this?

[@kenthanna]

Wonderful

[@maxsoon1097]

Remember, criminals should never be released for whatever reason. This is what happens when authority ignored it. Russian streets are not safe now.

[@quandong8245]

If there's is no pardon, no one will join, exception are made in war time and society must deal with the consequences.

[@georges3799]

You reap what you sow. I hope the People of Russia wake up and take their country back from these bloodthirsty tyrants.

[@eprofessio]

My wife retired as a military trial judge and we are both of the mind set that once you recruit a criminal the clock starts on when you will be kicking them out for the same crime. All the soldiers that came in on criminal waivers during Iraq War basically got kicked out military for committing similar crimes. Under my brutal totalitarian regime murdering criminals will be worked in labor prisons.

[@sabrekai8706]

Agreed.

[@martingrey2231]

I expected this. Where else can they go, and what else would they do?

[@WeazyPrettyBoi]

Like here in US , some soldiers after returning from a war had a metal problem . Some kill people . May this war will end soon .

[@sylviamaresca8852]

And so it begins.....

[@lickrish3930]

D'oh! Shocking he was such a nice prisoner

[@jbk19xx57]

I cant say that I’m surprised

[@o.m.2188]

Yeah, and the police rather hear their war stories than locking them up again. Kudos!

PTSD

[@bottleflaskan802]

Old video?

[@rickarra1833]

Wow, what a surprise.

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

The number who have died is unknown. ANSWER: not nearly enough.

[@Red-Brick-Dream]

It really is a shame that any of these wretched thugs survived.

[@gfystarshine]

Well, duh! What did they think was going to happen? 😱

[@michaelmurphy8667]

Former murderers now home with ptsd. What could possibly go wrong.

[@seanryanryan8097]

How can you tell a specific person killed another specific person in a war zone when they could have died or have been killed by anything ??

[@cskvision]

And the Kremlin calls these guys heroes. 🙄
