There are new reports that he's in the hospital. I will undelete this post if his death is confirmed.
Z-war correspondent Poddubny is alive, Kursk regional hospital reported
His hospitalization in the Kursk Regional Hospital was confirmed to the Defense Ministry's Zvezda TV channel. Soon this information was confirmed by Poddubny's employer, the VGTRK television and radio company. The Z-war correspondent was wounded as a result of a UAV attack.
The video allegedly shows Poddubny being hospitalized.
See, you start making a valid argument, but can't even make it to the end of the sentence before you stop pretending. Here, let me help you:
Wearing camo is not enough to make you a target, even having a weapon doesn't necessarily make you a target. The responsibility of keeping civilians safe is not on the defender, it's on both sides. The take that doesn't defend warcrimes is that his death is an unfortunate accident caused by his failure to wear appropriate markings. Instead, the thread has his face crossed out as if he was on a hitlist.
Like, I get it. You finally have an outlet for your repressed chauvinism that won't get you called racist and you're letting yourself blow off some steam. But for fucks sake have some decorum about it, you're acting like Americans.
I was never pretending. I am not the one defending the death of a Russian propaganda officer. And trying to make this guy out as anything else could be construed as pretending.
The sentiment I conveyed (the one you seem to take offense with) is very much the way Ukranians look at the situation. They where invaded by an horde that loots, rapes and pillages anything left after their war machine is done with an area.
You again seem to by trying to minimize this guy's mistakes. He made himself indistinguishable from Russian soldiers.. so he is a fair target.. nothing more to it. He probably wanted to seem "cool" or "legit" for his viewers. Showing them how life in the trenches is by experiencing it with the troops.... Well, now he got the full experience... Back to the motherland as cargo 200.
So go clutch your pearls elsewhere.
Exactly what i said in the first place - "ITT: a disturbing but unsurprising amount of people who think war crimes are good when the good guys do them."
