   #Russia really has no clue who it picked a fight with

   I am in awe of #Ukraine

   This is not the big dumb bully from school picking on the scrawny kid who knows Jiu-Jitsu

   This is the big dumb bully from school picking on the scrawny kid who happens to be Iron Man

   It's the #evolution of #warfare

   The whole world is watching keenly

   Again, I am in awe, but it makes me deeply uneasy

     @benroyce @jmcrookston @palin@mastodon.social I'm by no means well informed on this, but it features pretty commonly in (south) Korean dramas set in historical times. I wouldn't be surprised if it was common throughout much of the old world, and just preserved by the most backwards evil regimes into modern times.

     because they are utterly brainwashed. they are fed constant lies. they are probably told all sorts of horrible things about ukrainians and what they do to defectors. when of course, the truth is it is the russians who are horrible to them

     @benroyce @palin if we're talking about the North Koreans, then also because their families back in N Korea will be executed if they defect

     @benroyce @palin one commando didn't die in the attack on the Blue House in whatever year that was (late 60s?) and remained in South Korea. His parents were publically executed in n Korea. I don't imagine it's much different these days.

     @jmcrookston @palin

     if you commit a crime that they determine is sufficiently wrong (ie, #politics), they don't punish you in #NorthKorea

     they punish you, your children, and your grandchildren

     "three generations of punishment"

     your "blood" is guilty

     I was watching a video earlier and today was a disaster for N.K. troops and Russian also .
     They have no leadership and are being slaughtered.
     I honestly don't understand why they don't defect...
     I will never understand how anyone could just walk into a surefire death like they are.
