Chechen POWs maltreated (graphic images)

[Lithos]

This movie makes Abu Ghraib look like a Christian summer camp. It depicts naked POW's transferred between camps. Many of them apparently suffocated during the transport, all hold marks of heavy beating and torture, one has an open fracture of an arm.

All of this was filmed by a Russian guard back in 2000. The prisoners are fighters who, once , surrendered after the battle of Komsomolskoje in Chechnya.[/p>

None of them is believed to be alive today. Three (out of 76 prisoners) managed to escape. Out of those three, two hung themselves, and the remaining one had disappeared.

1. YOU MEAN THE RUSSIAN MILITARY AREN'T GOOD PEOPLE!?

I'M ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED THE MILITARY OF THE COUNTRY THAT GAVE US STALIN AND LENIN WOULD BE MISTREATING PEOPLE.

[Goldmund]

2. Is there any military in the world who doesn't do things like this?

And any country in the world for which a similar slur couldn't be made up?

Here, I'll start:

I'M ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED THE MILITARY OF THE COUNTRY FOUNDED ON MASS GENOCIDE OF NATIVE AMERICANS WOULD BE MISTREATING PEOPLE.

It's meaningless. Most human beings will turn into animals, or freepers, or tree-huggers, or monsters, under the right propaganda.

3. Nicely xenophobic argument n/t

4. Quite disguisting

I await regime change in Russia with interest... </sarcasm>
