"The significance of life is exaggerated,"
X ^ | 13 May 2024 | Anton Gerashchenko

Russia's First Channel openly urges Russian servicemen "not to wait for the drone" but to commit suicide themselves!

"The significance of life is exaggerated," the propagandist argues. And he says that killing yourself on the battlefield is not suicide, but sacrifice.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote of boatloads of disabled WWII being sent to the gulag. (The Gulag Archipelago,)

"During the 1980 Olympic games in Moscow, a Western journalist inquired whether the Soviet Union would participate in the first Paralympic games, scheduled to take place in Great Britain later that year. The reply from a Soviet representative was swift, firm, and puzzling: "There are no invalids in the USSR!"

Stalin was concerned with the costs and political troubles of caring for the disabled, so he got rid of them. Putin is just speeding up the process and attempting to conceal it.

Most know that a wounded enemy can require two or more soldiers to be removed from the battle, and the Russian dead are abandoned. The cost to a caring society for a VA-type system is massive and labor-intensive. Putin is trimming expenses because Russia lacks the funds and the manpower.

Those suicides are tragic, they use guns under the chin, knives in the throat, and the most common is to hold a grenade to their head or hug it to their chest.

Let’s urge terrorists the world over to kill themselves, as sacrifices for the good of their world and their god. Same with democrats, who should sacrifice themselves in order to help stop climate change. If climate change is man-made, then, the sacrifices of half the world (iow, the leftists), would go a long way towards solving the problems. In their next lives, they can find out if their sacrifices worked.

Our own government is asking the same thing of young folks just entering the work force here.

“Give up your future and security for the defense of the Ukraine! Don’t fret when you get the bill! You did your part for national security!”

Fools...

—”Those suicides are tragic, “

And the cost on Russian society...
Ivan had to put down his entire squad after one of them was playing with a frag and all were wounded.

Word gets out to the victim’s families.
When asked about the seriousness of the wounds, he said they were avoiding patrol and always lying. They had blood on them.
Orders are orders.

This is your Russian friends advocating suicide for fellow wounded Russians.

Perhaps English is not your primary language?

Human life comes down to a cost analysis in liberalism.

There is absolutely no difference between our kids giving up their financial security for life, and them asking for theirs to commit suicide.

Same damned thing... Except most of the Russians have a choice, our kids DO NOT.

Trying to treat this like WWII is absolutely idiotic. We are picking who is the lesser evil of two Hitlers and ruining the future of this country to do it.

Only a “complete idiot” cannot SEE this...

No our government isn’t asking young people to kill themselves for Ukraine.

Next fantasy?

Euromaiden revolution?

Sorry, not familiar with the term. I must have been living under a rock during that kind of revolution.

And we’re supposed to accept this crap?

Overthrowing democracies?

Why would any well-meaning terrorist want to overthrow a democracy. How many kind of terrorists are there, btw.

This story is from a Ukrainian source and is not Russia’s state controlled First Channel urging their own soldiers to suicide. It appears to be urging Ukrainians to suicide.

On one level I fully concur.

That said I find it appalling.

Yes, because I am right, and I called it when it started. We HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE.

How soon we forget...
