Is there a rule (Geneva Convention)  against filming/photographing detainees? I wanted to know before posting something. Just a lot of Russian detainees walking in a line with hands up. But didn’t want to post the Tweet if that’s not allowed.

So you're concerned you posting that will end with you in front of an international tribunal?

Last I checked, you don't represent a nation state.

Zelenskyy doing great in front of Parliament right now. 
 

The tweet I was referring to with the Russian detainees upthread is one of his tweets. Not this particular tweet obviously:

 

Post it before all these guys trip over themselves trying to disparage you.

Geezus just post the dang thing:

 

I'm not an international law expert, but I don't think a group of captured troops being ordered to march being filmed and then even aired at the direction of the state would violate anything.  I could be wrong.

Updated best case resolution:

Russia gets:

Ukraine recognizes Crimea as Russian

Ukraine pledges to NEVER join NATO or host nukes

Ukraine agrees to UN oversight in Donbas

All sanctions lifted


Ukraine/West gets:

Russia gtfo of Ukraine entirely and recognizes their sovereignty/government (including Donbas as part of Ukraine)

Russia pays full cost of reconstruction+


Unspoken outcomes:

Europe moves to dramatically reduce dependence on Russian energy

West arms Ukraine to the teeth (except for nukes)

West works covertly to have Putin’s govt replaced

 China uses Russia for cheap energy

How can Ukraine end the sanctions?  It is not their choice.

This, and why would the rest of NATO agree to anything short of no more Vlad and a removal of the nuclear arms at this point.  We have Putin's balls in a vice, there is no way we walk without getting these kind of results.

I'm hearing increasing number of reports on close and even hand to hand combat around Kiev and other cities, this an article from some French source, not sure how valid but it seems okay.

Irpin (Ukraine) (AFP) – Street battles and hand-to-hand combat. Ukrainian servicemen and fleeing residents described ferocious fighting on Kyiv's northwestern edge Monday that could soon spread to the besieged capital.

It’s either screwdriver or password.

It’s not the combination I have for my luggage though.

Kyiv Independent is pretty silent considering reports going around that Kyiv is in imminent danger type of stuff. Most of what I saw showed tanks like 20 miles or so out…

Interesting "Press" outfit choice

Ya. China doesn’t fool most of us. They backed the wrong country. Fuck em. I hope whatever their endgame is it is absolutely ruined. They are pieces of dick and I hope it all comes back to cause them great problems in the future. We see you!

Reports that all cruise missiles tonight where shot down by UK forces.

If so, are RU cruise missiles susceptible to MANPADS?

During Desert Storm, Fng 30 years ago, I was a Fire Direction Specialist for an MLRS Battalion. I had a launcher about to receive a “mission” requiring 2 rockets. Back then each MLRS launcher contained two “six packs” of pods, so at most they held twelve rockets.

The launcher assigned only had three rounds/ rockets left in a pod of six, so I changed the mission to three, in order to empty his pod. You’d thought the world ended with that change!!

I had everyone from a Colonel to those with stars, thinking I’d just wasted money!!! I’m like WTF, we’d already shot over 1K rockets and they were worried about ONE. It wasn’t even an air corridor problem with “friendly jets”, they were saying I wasted $$$.

Someone may have commented previously, but this has to be the first major social-media conflict.  Meaning, while social media has been around and covered other conflicts, this one seemingly is the most covered of all, with both information and disinformation.  Civilians have seen war upfront before, but not with the ability to report it in near real-time.  Same with soldiers as well.

On that tangent:

Short answer: YES
 

Hell, Iraqis were shooting down some of the cruise missiles with small arms because we kept having them fly over the same populated areas in Iraq decades ago. That's nothing new.
