That is a valid point, but in a lot of cases there are many human factors that play into not letting the fighters desert. For example, the commander could say that if one soldier desert, the rest of the squad will be punished. That would make most individuals not willing to leave their post. Plus, if a propaganda is well made, most people will assume that their brothers in arms are loyal to the country, or at least to the army. Sothey would assume that if they talked about deserting to the wrong person, it would end really badly.

I deeply respect officers like the general who follow the codex, laws and the rights of the captured soldiers against the exposure of them to the media interrogations. If conducted it could have been only if these captured soldiers have committed some war crimes as part of a court proceedings. Also , excellent observation from the journalist when she mentioned the russian citizens and their selfish attitude about their well being as long as the state did not interfere with their lives. It is so common in all decadent societies and predates to their falls.
I await the destruction of mankind. Pitiful race,slow and weak. Always scared to try,always scared to fail. Logic suspended for superstition. Greed and lust is rampant. What a sickening existence.
Having Russian soldiers risk their lives for the sake of one man to keep his power is insane. In Medieval Times, the King would be on the front line with the soldiers. Unfortunately today, those in power hide behind desks far removed from the battlefields. And even worse won’t send their own children to fight. What kind of BS is that?
Could you explain in detail how Putin "winning" in Ukraine would ensure he kept his position of power? Also could you explain how Russian soldiers dying for the benefit of their government and leaders is any different than U.S soldiers dying for the benefit of their government and leaders? Ill wait
@@Shred_Tube i never said the US was any different. I have issues over the US Iraq War. US Marines fighting to keep a small group of people in the oil business rich. These groups were making billions of dollars but if a soldier lost his life, that soldier’s family only got $11k in insurance.
@@Shred_Tube A dictator that looses a war often eventually looses his power too. Putin's whole image as a dictator was a macho man, a genius geostrategist who built a great army and is “stronger” than other world leaders. That was part of his justification for inner repressions too: that he may be tough, but it's to bring glory to Russia. And his decreasing rating got a massive boost after Crimea. That all will be shattered once Russians will be forced to leave Ukraine, as it will be hard for propaganda to hide that defeat.
Yes. And every time I hear people say a group of Russian soldiers was decimated, I think of the literal, original meaning, where only 1 in 10 die. That's horrible enough, but current casualty rates are so much higher, it's much worse for those soldiers. Still, I have no sympathy for Russian soldiers because of all that they have been doing to innocent neighbors/"brothers" in Ukraine.
I remember that when the movie Enemy at the Gates came out, a lot of Russians were pissed off at the movie portraying the Soviets just sending waves of men, only some of whom were even armed, at the german lines, and that those who wouldn't charge would be shot down. They said it was insulting for a movie to portray them in such a way. Well Russia......it looks like the shoe fits.

Erin, I think you are giving us the best reports on the War in Ukraine . Also you are showing us how many Russians are really suffering and don’t want to fight!!!
Russians are really suffering because the US stated this proxy war to overthrow Putin. Without the US's interference this war would never have happened. It Trump had of been reelected there would have been not one person killed here. And he would have stopped Zelenskyy killing 1,000's in his civil war - and made sure Zelenskyy was behind bars.
They will die for the US proxy war!... You will keep on saying this. How many people in the world died for US's proxy wars?... Look, this time, it is ending. US does not have the capacity to send weapons to Ukraine now. Russia on the other hand, has a massive capacity to produce conventional weapons. This also might be the case for nuclear weapons. Eventually Ukraine will loose and leave US as a weak nation all would look down on.
'Slava Ukraine' is Nazi salute used by Stepan Bandera followers in Ukraine during ww2 - it's same as saying "Seig Heil' ( educate yourself at least to the point that you know what you are talking about )
Least we forget that at the beginning of the war Narcissist Trump blurted out Vladimir Putin is a genius for invading Ukraine proving he equates genius to diabolical.
He started the line with "Isn't that fantastic news" anything else he said pales in comparison, he's a traitor to his country and the free world, phuck him and his thieving family.

The truth must out though, as uncomfortable as this particular instance makes me. Hopefully international law is better at parsing circumstances than jurisdictional law does.

"people living their comfortable lives and not engaging in to politics" This is not the whole truth. Well educated people in Moscow and in St. Petersburg may live and think this way. There are a lots of small towns and remote small villages where people are living under miserable conditions and they support their ruler Putin and thinks that this is their destiny, and next ruler will be their hero as well. This is reason why nothing will be changed in Russia in coming centuries.
Psht... Centuries yoy say? Look how Russian society has changed since the 1900s just like the US has. Back then, both in Russia and the US, there were different morals and sensibilities than there're today: women wore long gowns and didn't have the rights they have now, contracaptions were illegal in the US but not in Russia (yet they were still frowned upon in the villages), premarital sexual relations were frowned upon, abortions were illegal. And look how Russians have changed now. It's just that the current Russian leadership were born in the Soviet Union. Putin was 39 years old when it collapsed.
Because they fell for the classic...".If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself". - Joesph Goebells Minister for information for the Nazi Party, sound familiar? and more.. Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will. (Can I get a T?) There was no point in seeking to convert the intellectuals. For intellectuals would never be converted and would anyway always yield to the stronger, and this will always be "the man in the street." Arguments must therefore be crude, clear and forcible, and appeal to emotions and instincts, not the intellect. Truth was unimportant and entirely subordinate to tactics and psychology. Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play. This is the secret of propaganda: Those who are to be persuaded by it should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are being immersed in it. There will come a day, when all the lies will collapse under their own weight, and truth will again triumph. (*Trump missed that one but he studied the others well) Not every item of news should be published. Rather must those who control news policies endeavor to make every item of news serve a certain purpose. The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion. We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this bear's work, that is its affair. We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come. It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise. The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never escape from it. (Trump anyone?) We shall reach our goal, when we have the power to laugh as we destroy, as we smash, whatever was sacred to us as tradition, as education, and as human affection. If you tell a lie long enough, it becomes the truth. (You don't say?!) Whoever can conquer the street will one day conquer the state, for every form of power politics and any dictatorship-run state has its roots in the street. The English follow the principle that when one lies, it should be a big lie, and one should stick to it. The masses need something that will give them a thrill of horror. We shall go down in history as the greatest statesmen of all time,or as the greatest criminals (Def top of the charts, close to Stalin , Idi Amin etc) Every age that has historical status is governed by aristocracies.Aristocracy with the meaning - the best are ruling.Peoples do never govern themselves. That lunacy was concocted by liberalism (or in today's U.S. case republicanism). Behind its people's sovereignty the slyest cheaters are hiding, who don't want to be recognized. There is no need for propaganda to be rich in intellectual content. In the newspapers there is insulting and stirring up hatred. Those irresponsible daubers! www.azquotes.com/author/5626-Joseph_Goebbels
Mercenaries are not under the Geneva Convention. Wagner Group mercenaries, recruited from the prisons, are kept on the front lines until they are dead. That way, Wagner group doesn't have to pay the families, because they say the mercenaries are MIA. That also happens in the regular Russian military as well.
Yes. And often they don't even need to use the MIA card - majority of prisoners in russia are quite socially isolated and don't keep close contacts with anyone outside the jail. Maksim Katz says it's up to 70% of wagner mercenaries than when asked who should receive the money after their death - they just can't. Even if they come up with a name - they don't know the phone number. Those names are "recorded" on some "piece of paper" that is surely thrown away later. But knowing russian mentality - that money will be paid out - it will be shared between some commander and the official responsible for giving that money out. And wagnerites will just die.

The way Russia is treating its soldiers is not new. It is centuries old.

Erin is the only mainstream news presenter who gives really in-depth reports about the war. I think reporting from Ukraine herself at the start of the war affected her deeply and that's why she keeps on top of it.
I'd say those Russian mercenaries were lucky to be captured by the Ukrainians.
Ring any bells of the old school call of duty game? How Russians would get shot by moving back into cover? The Nazis took that as an advantage for getting them to surrender. I'm sure those prison camps would of made them beg for that bullet.
The Russians have no idea just how lucky they are to have Ukraine as a nice enemy compared to the Nazis. While Jewish people are called Nazis.
The Ukrainians are broadcasting to the Russian troops the ways to surrender safely to the Ukrainian troops.

I deeply respect officers like the general who follow the codex, laws and the rights of the captured soldiers against the exposure of them to the media interrogations.

Also , excellent observation from the journalist when she mentioned the russian citizens and their selfish attitude about their well being as long as the state did not interfere with their lives. It is so common in all decadent societies and predates to their falls.

Having Russian soldiers risk their lives for the sake of one man to keep his power is insane.
In Medieval Times, the King would be on the front line with the soldiers. Unfortunately today, those in power hide behind desks far removed from the battlefields. And even worse won’t send their own children to fight. What kind of BS is that?
Could you explain in detail how Putin "winning" in Ukraine would ensure he kept his position of power? Also could you explain how Russian soldiers dying for the benefit of their government and leaders is any different than U.S soldiers dying for the benefit of their government and leaders? Ill wait
@@Shred_Tube i never said the US was any different. I have issues over the US Iraq War. US Marines fighting to keep a small group of people in the oil business rich. These groups were making billions of dollars but if a soldier lost his life, that soldier’s family only got $11k in insurance.
That is democracy at it's finest
Ukrainians for fighting for there freedom. Russians are fighting for there slavehood.
@@Shred_Tube A dictator that looses a war often eventually looses his power too. Putin's whole image as a dictator was a macho man, a genius geostrategist who built a great army and is “stronger” than other world leaders. That was part of his justification for inner repressions too: that he may be tough, but it's to bring glory to Russia. And his decreasing rating got a massive boost after Crimea. That all will be shattered once Russians will be forced to leave Ukraine, as it will be hard for propaganda to hide that defeat.
Wagner prisoner legion has a casualty rate of 80%.
Yes. And every time I hear people say a group of Russian soldiers was decimated, I think of the literal, original meaning, where only 1 in 10 die. That's horrible enough, but current casualty rates are so much higher, it's much worse for those soldiers. Still, I have no sympathy for Russian soldiers because of all that they have been doing to innocent neighbors/"brothers" in Ukraine.
80%? That's good. A pity it's not 100%.
I remember that when the movie Enemy at the Gates came out, a lot of Russians were pissed off at the movie portraying the Soviets just sending waves of men, only some of whom were even armed, at the german lines, and that those who wouldn't charge would be shot down. They said it was insulting for a movie to portray them in such a way. Well Russia......it looks like the shoe fits.

"people living their comfortable lives and not engaging in to politics" This is not the whole truth. Well educated people in Moscow and in St. Petersburg may live and think this way.
There are a lots of small towns and remote small villages where people are living under miserable conditions and they support their ruler Putin and thinks that this is their destiny, and next ruler will be their hero as well. This is reason why nothing will be changed in Russia in coming centuries.
Psht... Centuries yoy say? Look how Russian society has changed since the 1900s just like the US has. Back then, both in Russia and the US, there were different morals and sensibilities than there're today: women wore long gowns and didn't have the rights they have now, contracaptions were illegal in the US but not in Russia (yet they were still frowned upon in the villages), premarital sexual relations were frowned upon, abortions were illegal. And look how Russians have changed now.
It's just that the current Russian leadership were born in the Soviet Union. Putin was 39 years old when it collapsed.
Because they fell for the classic...".If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself". - Joesph Goebells Minister for information for the Nazi Party, sound familiar?

Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated
are confident they are acting on their own free will. (Can I get a T?)
There was no point in seeking to convert the intellectuals. For intellectuals would never be converted and would anyway always yield to the stronger, and this will always be "the man in the street." Arguments must therefore be crude, clear and forcible, and appeal to emotions and instincts, not the intellect. Truth was unimportant and entirely subordinate to tactics and psychology.
Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.
This is the secret of propaganda: Those who are to be persuaded by it should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are being immersed in it.
There will come a day, when all the lies will collapse under their own weight, and truth will again triumph. (*Trump missed that one but he studied the others well)
Not every item of news should be published. Rather must those who control news policies endeavor to make every item of news serve a certain purpose.
The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.
It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion.
We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this bear's work, that is its affair. We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.
It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise.
The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never escape from it. (Trump anyone?)
We shall reach our goal, when we have the power to laugh as we destroy, as we smash, whatever was sacred to us as tradition, as education, and as human affection.
If you tell a lie long enough, it becomes the truth. (You don't say?!)
Whoever can conquer the street will one day conquer the state, for every form of power politics and any dictatorship-run state has its roots in the street.
The English follow the principle that when one lies, it should be a big lie, and one should stick to it.
The masses need something that will give them a thrill of horror.
We shall go down in history as the greatest statesmen of all time,or as the greatest criminals (Def top of the charts, close to Stalin , Idi Amin etc)
Every age that has historical status is governed by aristocracies.Aristocracy with the meaning - the best are ruling.Peoples do never govern themselves. That lunacy was concocted by liberalism (or in today's U.S. case republicanism). Behind its people's sovereignty the slyest cheaters are hiding, who don't want to be recognized.
There is no need for propaganda to be rich in intellectual content.
In the newspapers there is insulting and stirring up hatred. Those irresponsible daubers!

It's called a cell. Not a cage
Mercenaries are not under the Geneva Convention. Wagner Group mercenaries, recruited from the prisons, are kept on the front lines until they are dead. That way, Wagner group doesn't have to pay the families, because they say the mercenaries are MIA. That also happens in the regular Russian military as well.
Once war is over so will the Russia soldiers money
Yes. And often they don't even need to use the MIA card - majority of prisoners in russia are quite socially isolated and don't keep close contacts with anyone outside the jail. Maksim Katz says it's up to 70% of wagner mercenaries than when asked who should receive the money after their death - they just can't. Even if they come up with a name - they don't know the phone number. Those names are "recorded" on some "piece of paper" that is surely thrown away later.
But knowing russian mentality - that money will be paid out - it will be shared between some commander and the official responsible for giving that money out. And wagnerites will just die.
