"Our FPV drones work very well. The Russians can no longer deliver BC (ammunition), evacuate people, etc. I saw with my own eyes one destruction of a car on the way back and one as they flew into the apartment. At the moment, Russia has lost all the tanks that were (in my sector) at a distance out to 25 km. FPV drones destroy any vehicle."
Knock, knock. Anybody home?

Besides, Trump is kind of busy these days losing his shit in a New York courtroom. And he wouldn’t want to create a conflict for President Biden. (insert rolling eyes emoji here).
Excuse me while I find some place to throw up.

This post discusses Russian soldiers committing suicide rather than being taken prisoner. The video in its unedited version shows a Russian soldier who blew his head off. It is very graphic. I won’t post that. It’s out there if you want to look for it but I don’t advise it.
This post blurs that image. But it is still potentially upsetting, so be warned.
Here is the analysis about why a soldier would kill himself rather than surrender. It echoes in many ways the behavior of Japanese soldiers during WWII.
The cause of their mental state and their decision to commit suicide is the indoctrination they receive by the Russian military which instills in them two primary beliefs: 1) They are fighting an uncivilized enemy that will inflict unimaginable atrocities on them if they are captured; and/or, 2) Combined with the existing prevalence of hyper-masculinity in Russian society, they are taught thar surrendering is a disgrace that they will never be able to absolve themselves of when they return home. This same indoctrination occurs with the civilian population as well which starts in grade school: 1) A supreme leader worthy of worship; 2) An invincible nation with a birthright and destiny far greater than what is experienced in the existing reality; 3) All other non-Russians, including ethnic minorities within the federation, are a threat or enemies denying you of this destiny; and, 4) You have a duty to work tirelessly or die for your nation in pursuit of its destiny.
x I am coming across more and more reports of healthy combat effective Russians committing suicide to avoid capture. I am sharing one example which I masked to cover graphic images.
