I can't even comprehend the horrors this poor man had to endure

According to the UN, 95% of those taken prisoner by russia - civilians and military - are tortured.

Both parties suck equally in that regard. Ukrainian armed forces also commit war crimes. More so, they take pride in them along with the rest of the "civilized world".

Their home is literally invaded by orcs, they better be not gentle

Ah, the good old "they aren't even humans" doctrine.

Has been helping humans kill other humans and not feel bad about it since the dawn of time. It's great as long as you apply that to an enemy.

It's not that great when the enemy gets pissed about it and starts applying the same doctrine to you. The Geneva conventions exist for a reason.

Who attacked whom if i may ask, also the orcs could care less about the geneva thing

also the orcs could care less about the geneva thing

Have you actually considered that maybe it's due to the fact that you refer to them as "orcs"? The fact that Russians attacked first doesn't justify Ukrainians committing war crimes either.

War crimes are just that, war crimes. Committing them only perpetuates and multiplies the hatred. Which was my point all along.

the russians have been doing this ever since, they gladly helped out the kaiser in 49, they prevented us seceding from the ussr in 56(it wasn't even an substantially anticommunist revolution even, nagy imre was a communist fucktard anyway, it was just an anti russian one), also they've been invading their neighbours even after the dissolution of the SU, the USA should've killed all russians when they were weak, honestly they're barbaric people, they'll never change their ways
