Russian POW: We didn't have any commanders, we were told that they would make us ‘cargo-500’

Russian gunner Andrey Isaev was taken prisoner by Ukraine in de-occupied Robotyne, Donetsk region. He says that he was born in Murmansk (Russia), but has lived in Crimea since 1995 and that his family were originally Ukrainian citizens. The Russian soldier said that he has been fighting under contract since May 2, 2023. When he found out that he was going to war in Ukraine, he did not want to. He said that the commanders in the army simply abandoned the ranks. For more - watch a full interview with POW.

Ukraine is not the ones getting the soldiers to surrender, it is always the choice of the person.

Have you seen the aftermath of Bucha? Have you seen the way Russians even treat their own? Opening fire on those who retreat? Beating one of their own with a sledgehammer who surrendered and was later released back to Russia? Have you heard these intercepted calls where many admit they don't even take prisoners because it's too much of a burden, so they just kill everyone regardless? Have you seen how Russians open fire on civilians trying to leave to safer areas? Russia isn't treating their "brothers" in a brotherly way at all. To even call them brothers at this point is an insult.

[@johndoyle2347]

Reposting and slight editing of recent mathematical ideas into one post: Split-complex numbers relate to the diagonality (like how it's expressed on Anakin's lightsaber) of ring/cylindrical singularities and to why the 6 corner/cusp singularities in dark matter must alternate. The so-called triplex numbers deal with how energy is transferred between particles and bodies and how an increase in energy also increases the apparent mass. Dual numbers relate to Euler's Identity, where the thin mass is cancelling most of the attractive and repulsive forces. The imaginary number is mass in stable particles of any conformation. In Big Bounce physics, dual numbers relate to how the attractive and repulsive forces work together to turn the matter that we normally think of into dark matter. The natural logarithm of the imaginary number is pi divided by 2 radians times i. This means that, at whatever point of stable matter other than at a singularity, the attractive or repulsive force being emitted is perpendicular to the "plane" of mass. In Big Bounce physics, this corresponds to how particles "crystalize" into stacks where a central particle is greatly pressured to break/degenerate by another particle that is in front, another behind, another to the left, another to the right, another on top, and another below. Dark matter is formed quickly afterwards. i to the i power: the "Big Bang mass", somewhat reminiscent of Swiss cheese, has dark matter flaking off, exerting a spin that mostly cancels out, leaving potential energy, and necessarily in a tangential fashion. This is closely related to what the natural logarithm of the imaginary number represents. Mediants are important to understanding the Big Crunch side of a Big Bounce event. Matter has locked up, with particles surrounding and pressuring each other. The matter gets broken up into fractions of what it was and then gets added together to form the dark matter known from our Inflationary Epoch. Sectrices are inversely related, as they deal with all stable conformations of matter being broken up, not added like the implosive "shrapnel" of mediants. Ford circles relate to mediants. Tangential circles, tethered to a line. Ramanujan Infinite Sum (of the natural numbers): during a Big Crunch, the singularities being sheared off at inflection points are a twelfth of the original stable particle's mass. Sectrices: the families of curves deal with black holes and dark matter. (The Fibonacci spiral deals with how dark matter is degenerated/broken up and with supernovae. The Golden spiral deals with how the normal matter, that we usually think of, degenerates, forming black holes.) The Archimedean spiral deals with dark matter spinning too fast and breaking into primordial black holes, smaller dark matter, and regular matter. The Dinostratus quadratrix deals with the laminar flow of dark matter being broken up by lingering black holes. Delanges sectrices (family of curves): dark matter has its "bubbles" force a rapid flaking off - the main driving force of the Big Bang. Ceva sectrices (family of curves): spun up dark matter breaks into primordial black holes and smaller, galactic-sized dark matter and other, typically thought of matter. Maclaurin sectrices (family of curves): older, lingering black holes, late to the party, impact and break up dark matter into galaxies. Dark matter, on the stellar scale, are broken up by supernovae. Our solar system was seeded with the heavier elements from a supernova. I'm happily surprised to figure out sectrices. Trisectrices are another thing. More complex and I don't know if I have all the curves available to use in analyzing them. But, I can see Fibonacci and Golden spirals relating to the trisectrices. The Clausen function of order 2: dark matter flakes off, impacting the Big Bang mass directly and shocking the opposite side, somewhat like concussions happen. While a spin on that central mass is exerted, all the spins from all the flaking dark matter largely cancel out. I suspect that primordial black holes are formed by this, as well. Those black holes and older black holes, that came late to the Big Bounce, work together to break up dark matter. Belows method (similar to Sylvester's Link Fan) relates to dark matter flaking off during a Big Bang event. Repetitious bisection relates to dark matter spinning so violently that it breaks, leaving smaller dark matter, primordial black holes, and other matter. Neusis construction relates to how dark matter is broken up near one of its singularities by an older black hole and to how black holes have their singularites sheared off during a Big Crunch. General relativity: 8 shapes, as dictated by the equation? 4 general shapes, but with a variation of membranous or a filament? Dark matter mostly flat, with its 6 alternating corner/cusp edge singularities. Neutrons like if a balloon had two ends, for blowing it up. Protons with aligned singularities, and electrons with just a lone cylindrical singularity? Prime numbers in polar coordinates: note the missing arms and the missing radials. Matter spiraling in, degenerating? Matter radiating out - the laminar flow of dark matter in an Inflationary Epoch? Connection to Big Bounce theory? "Operation -- Annihilate!", from the first season of the original Star Trek: was that all about dark matter and the cosmic microwave background radiation? Anakin Skywalker connection?
