The last video is impressive: for the Russian soldiers themselves, their lives and the lives of their comrades are worth nothing. Even more impressive are the tens of millions of Westerners who 'admire' Russia, the same Russia where life is so bad that one comes to believe that life has no value.

If their lives matter so little, the lives of others must matter less.

I didn't think these Westerners really admire Russia itself in any way. They don't even admire Putin, they admire the amount of power Putin has. Deciding single-handedly that the neighbouring country has no right to exist and sending hundreds of thousands into the grinder to enforce his will just adds to Tsar's charm.

American whites aligning with Russia is very simply self-preservation. Quoted from a Quora comment:

"Russians shouldn’t feel exclusive when receiving the end of the American federal government’s hatred and destruction. They practice it regularly on its own people, as you’ve pointed out.

The current U.S administration has said its native white population needs to diversify, and that the replacement of white people is a good thing.

You have the mockingbird CIA media on MSNBC saying white rural people are a threat to this country.

You have the president constantly saying that the biggest threat to the United States is white supremacy. Not gang violence, not the cartels, not illegal alien violence, not a failing economy, not gas shortages or inflation, but white supremacy. Which is obviously false and just a tactic to build up hatred and fear of white people.

You had the governor of New Hampshire (who is white by the way) say that New Hampshire is too white, followed by media suggestions on how to make it more diverse and less white.

And when you take the current demographic make-up of the United States in consideration, it’s current projections for 2050, combined with millions of illegals let in by Joe Biden who will most likely never leave, what better time to attack white people than when they’re falling rapidly in the demographic majority?"

Geez, I never knew America had a native white population. I thought those people came through the Bering strait.

Then you do not understand what "native" means.

noun

a person born in a specified place or associated with a place by birth, whether subsequently resident there or not.

"a native of Montreal"

It tried to be a joke.

Although there's an interesting pattern here. The Native Americanists of the mid-19th century were appalled at the prospect of being replaced with Catholic immigrants from Ireland and Bavaria, each of them controlled personally by the Pope to subvert the Protestant ethics of Native America. Today, who's behind the latest round of replacement? A Catholic president, just the second of his kind.

Now that's a truly long-term, truly diabolical plan we're seeing in action. Not even Russia will be able to help.

Speaking of Biden...

Then VP Biden spoke or I should say boasted about us a minority in the USA by 2017. Presumably, it was Trump's election and COVID that prevented this from happening.

Right now we're at 57%, and will likely dip below 50% by the end of Biden's second term.

I was looking at the stats and it indicated that past and future citizens were 100% Americans.

200,000 years ago we all had the same grandmother.

In the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden, there are numerous dna samples recovered that revealed people with dark skin, dark hair and blue eyes.

It would be useful if you and others would consider their literal cousins in a different light and see the big picture. Or, we can just continue to meet on blogs like this to discuss how we're killing each other. Your choice.

I stopped watching the war porn videos a long time ago, as the deaths of people, even enemies, doesn't delight me. But "Do you prefer to be killed or captured?" is a question every soldier needs to ponder and have and already have anwer for before the situation arises. The possibility of being tortured is great enough that a dignified way out is understandable.

I understand how watching videos may be disturbing and fully support those who do not want to watch.

I don't consider them war porn. I want to understand how the war is being fought and I don't know any other way to do so except by reading and watching videos. I spent four paragraphs breaking down one video of a vehicle driving into the canal district while under fire. There was no blood, but it was full of details and an accumulation of details can provide context and understanding as to how a battle is being fought and what the actual situation on the ground might be.

I post just a small fraction of the videos I watch but many are representative of what is happening on the battlefield. There are countless videos of drones dropping munitions or detonating on impact, but viewed over time one can observe how even these constant actions have evolved.

And then there are unique videos, either because an action rarely happens or it is rarely recorded.

Deciding whether to be killed or captured depends on the individual and what that individual believes is likely to happen. If you believe that you will be tortured when captured, whether that is true or not, then it might be motivation to seek death. If you believe you will die anyway and want to avoid the experience of pain, that might be another reason to die. We'll never know but it does give us reason to ponder and compare it to other situations.

Just two weeks ago I read of a story of a US soldier fighting in Italy during WW2. While on patrol, he was wounded and his intestines were exposed. A German soldier approched him and asked if he wanted to be shot or if he was capable of walking a few kilometers as a prisoner to a German aid station. Those were his choices. The American gathered his intestines in his hands and walked. After receiving medical aid, he survived the war as a POW.

Everyone makes their own choices. The videos are there to be viewed, or not. And you are free to view them as war porn, or not. My only intention is to provide information for those that are interested.

Well, encountering a German soldier Western front was a little different than encountering a German soldier on the Eastern front. But not always, as the GIs at Malmedy found out.

You want to witness the tragedy of humanity in its most raw form, watch a few videos from the front. If everyone had to see this in school every time history comes up, war would be a lot less common in the future.

Thanks Don , lots of videos and information to take in

If I'm looking correctly, the killed soldier has no weapon. Can anyone think of a reason why this is so? Couldn't it be somehow related to what happened to him?
