A video shared by Ukraine’s police shows a Russian drone deliberately tracking a man at a market in Kherson. President Zelenskyy said the footage is evidence of Moscow’s “drone safari” against civilians.

The Russian trolls seem to be quite active in these comments, huh?

There were some recent findings that Russian bots actively work on Lemmy too.

Did they happen to find any definitive proof that water is wet while they were at it? Shit, just look at Lemmy.ml, they LOVE to parrot Russian propaganda.

I mean actual sponsored government operation (from the looks of it), not just useful idiots

Oh sure, there are some useful idiots there, but there's no way Russia isn't amplifying their propaganda there. I can't prove it, but I'd be genuinely shocked if there are no significant Russian bot ops on .ml.

I didn't expect to grow up and find that war crime is borderline normalized. In like every fucking war. I thought that it was something out of the ordinary when I was young. And people who committed them were brought to justice.
But trolololol NOPE.

War criminals do get brought to justice. But it requires that their opponents fight until the war is totally won, which is not something that is often done. Most wars end in a negotiated truce. Wars like WW2 where it doesn't stop until one side surrenders unconditionally and completely submits to occupation by the other? That's less common. It happens, but not often. But when it does? Yeah, that's when you get Nuremberg trials.

These soldiers and civilians/settlers are committing war crimes on a daily/hourly basis, with the combined wars in Ukraine, Gaza, Iran, and several other places like in East Asia and Africa. I really doubt all these wars crimes will see their perpetrators convicted and punished. 😢

It should say: "Shocking: Russian Army keeps hunting down and killing civilianz".

Do Ukraine hunt civilians? I haven't heard anything to that effect. In fact everything I have heard about Ukrainian strategy and logistics suggests to me that they'd consider that to be a waste of a drone. And Ukraine aren't doing so well in this war that they'd consider themselves at liberty to waste precious drones on killing random individual Russian civilians.

yeah they just showed this video of someone being killed on the evening news like it's liveleak or something without even a warning.
Tango@piefed.ca · 44 pts · 27d
The man actually survived. He suffered blast wounds, shrapnel wounds and a concussion, but seems to be otherwise fine. I don't even see any disfigurement:

So yeah, it's not a snuff film.

People should see what real war looks like. They should see it with as much warning as the victims had.

Wow in all the years of human history they don't already know? Do these people drive cars and "work" jobs?
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 25d
No. Regular people do not know what war looks like. Not in the US at least. The Vietnam War was the first and most televised war in history and why it became so unpopular. After that, the people in charge of wars kept that brutality from the general public. I remember Fox News up in arms over other stations showing the solder's caskets coming back from Bush II's war because it was turning support away from it. The more you humanize the victims of war, the less and less popular it becomes. Israel's wars lack support among people who don't get their news from main stream.

Forgive the dumb question but how do you know what country a given drone is affiliated with?
Tango@piefed.ca · 46 pts · 27d
How do I know?
Well, what are the alternatives? Are you suggesting that Ukraine targets its own civilians with drones? Or are you suggesting that, say, Turkiye is sending drones into Ukraine to target Ukrainian civilians?
How does Ukraine know?
The debris from the drone can be inspected and the type of drone can probably be identified. Different countries use different drones.
Why do you ask?
EDIT: And according to Zelenskyy, the Russians have even admitted to it, though I don't know what he bases that on.

It is like trust me bro....no way this could be a false flag... meanwhile ukraine is helping israel by attacking iran. The war is going full blown WW3 and truth no longer matters anymore. Get ready to be drafted for ww3 to die for PDFiles and their ambitions.

On what evidence are you basing this claim of it being a false flag?

REDACTED@infosec.pub · 13 pts · 26d
Correction - Ukraine is fighting against Russia and it's allies, which is Iran. Even people who are against Israel fully understand that Iran is just.. bad. There is no defending it, just like Israel.
EDIT: I'm not sure if this needs to be said, but I'm talking about governments, not the people. Iranians themselves tend to be quite cool and aren't all that fond of their government.
