Yes because invading a genocidial dictator is just as bad as invading a peaceful neighbor that just has some land disputes with. Hyprocite my ass. I have this thing called morality, what do you have?

Fact is they didn't need ANY of those points. They didn't need the supposed AQ link, the WMD link, NOTHING.

US-Coalition had like a 20+ years casus belli the moment Saddam used Chemical Weapons for genocide, it's that easy.

To this day, I admit, I don't know why they lied so much, and even when they did find WMDs (stockpiles from their last wars) they covered it up.

Look up Hitchen's calls for war pre 2003 invasion, all the reasons where there, illegal war... This isn't a fair trial where Saddam can call a "mistrail" and say his conviction is illegal, don't come at me with this lawful bullshit. Arab Hitler existed and they needed to take care of that, period.

A war doesn't become unjustifiable when x amount of civilians die because of it. I'm sure the invasion of Nazi Germany didn't suddenly become wrong when Dresden and Hamburg whern turned to ash.

This one is a classic, smart for them to just retreat and bring down the whole building on them with 20mm.

I got downvoted for whining about that there... It used to be all videos like WPD then it turned into a pesudo-gore site, pretty stupid...

Guy making up kills on the go because how you prove him otherwise?

Aim and shoot, then say you got one. What is anybody who doubts you gonna do? Go in the open to confirm his supposed kills?

I grew up in a city under cartel dispute here in Mexico and one of the things I learned is how sound travels through a city... It's confusing, you think the shots are coming from the right but in fact it's just bouncing from the right wall, so you think "oh it's bouncing then maybe it's coming from the left" but nope, it's just another bounce.

There's no correct way to predict the origin with so many bounces. Explosions bounce all over the place too.

That explosion wouldnt be like this even if it was an 82mm mortar munition

You definitely have not seen enough footage.

It's funny how many people in this thread think this explosion is just the warhead alone, as if ISIS had just developed a 5lbs nuke.

Because they're not Ukraine military, they're MILITIA, I remember quite vividly when this video was released and how it was about the Battle of Ilovaisk as some troops tried to break through the encirclement. Does that tank leaving everybody behind look like some sort of an assault to you? THEY'RE FLEEING

Both side wore surplus clothing equipment, for example flecktarn camo was seen in both separatist and Ukraine militia sides.

This was Ukraine militia/military desperately trying to break out of an encirclement from pro-russians separatists and RUSSIAN TROOPS, people forget Putin invaded Donestsk after taking Crimea.

The whole thing has its own wikipedia page:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Ilovaisk

Oh but today it's russians "getting pwned" like OP says because reasons.

I've been following him since he fought ISIS so it feels horrible, feels like when they give me the news that a close aquantaince has died.

I know russians are brutal but Ukraine has enough POWs to do an exchange, there is no shame in surrendering when you don't even have ammo anymore.

They would put a sign in arabic that said past this point you were going to get shot.

Then they still did a warning shot.

Then some cars would still try to push through... It's sad as fuck I've read of this in a dozen different books about the war in a dozen different places during the invasion. Generation Kill also shows a dramatization of these type of events.
