1. Sadistic assholes

[L. Coyote]

2. This will become a symbol of what Russia is doing to the nation of Ukraine.

While horrible, good to have this evidence on film. War can no longer hide this sort of criminality in our connected world.

3. That is not war

That is straight up murder.

[CanonRay]

4. Kick...this must be seen

[Disaffected]

5. It looks horrible but

is there any chance at all the tank (or whatever it is) was skidding out of control?

[crickets]

6. The skid was inevitable because the tank deliberately changed course at speed

in order to hit the car. The tank driver had to show expert control to aim that skid precisely over the automobile, making no attempt whatsoever to slow down. Sadly, that was no accident. There was nothing and no one else on the road, and no other reason for the tank to change direction. It was attempted murder of a civilian.

7. It kind of does...

They missed their turn and failed to negotiate. It's hard to see in those things and that car coming up and trying to veer around it, the tank operator probably didn't even see it until it stepped on it.

10. Yes, who knows, but

maybe what you mention and/or a mechanical issue (stuck throttle or steering...)??

It may have well been deliberate but it still looks odd, like an accident.

[2naSalit]

15. It's either that or a deliberate hit.

I wasn't there so I can't say but it was not good whichever it was.

[L. Coyote]

8. LOL. Maybe they took a wrong turn at Poland too!

[LPBBEAR]

11. riiiiiight

You betcha. The tank just "accidentally" skidded out of control and then once again"accidentally" backed over it......"accidentally". Riiiiiight.

[Disaffected]

12. Note to self:

Ignore the trolls.

[lame54]

14. Then he left

[Midnight Writer]

9. Tank driver like a drunken teenager driving his Dad's vintage Buick.

[L. Coyote]

13. Tank driver be like a MAGAnut driving his car into a BLM protest ...

would be the correct analogy. Don't make excuses for murderers!

[L. Coyote]

16. Another camera angle, driver being extracted.

20. Amazing!

I watched the vid. This man was crunched twice, forward and back by that damn tank. And he survived!

I want an Ukrainian transfusion. These people are tough. He's not young either.

Utterly miraculous.

Also a grotesque war crime by these thugs.

[roamer65]

17. Damn. What kind of car was it?

Thats a well built car.

[uncle ray]

18. i've heard/read many stories from our own military members

stating that you DO NOT drive towards occupying military vehicles at speed. you will get killed.
