The SANDF is not allowed to strike if that is the "our soldiers" you are referring to. It has never been on strike either. The SANDF has a union as do many other Western militaries like the Dutch and that is purely for collective bargaining as collective grievances are not allowed in a military as it is tantamount to mutiny.

Care to link some sources so we know what you are on about and it's not just hearsay?

Either you saw the news back then or you did not.

All those incidents were in the news. The biggest shock to me was when our SANDF fled a village that came fire from rebels in DRC. Leaving villagers to be slaughtered. This was later recalled and instead charges were brought against the soldiers for misconduct and painted as merely being AWOL.

Cite your sources. Why is it so difficult?

Someone did that here in the very early days of the conflict: unofficially named the street that the Russian Embassy is in to "Zelenskiy Road".

The best part was the Wellington City Council's response. "Yeah nah, we'll change it back sometime, but it's not really high priority." I'm sure that response would have been really appreciated by the Russian Embassy... ;)

Pranksters troll Russian diplomats by renaming Wellington street 'Zelenskiy Rd'

The sign for Wellington's Messines Rd – where the Russian embassy is based – now says “Zelenskiy Rd”, in honour of the Ukrainian president.

So you support a country that is literally destroying families? :X3:

Think long term. Do you really want people who don't know if they are men or women at every corner? That is what is happening in the USA/EU. They are already indoctrinating kids, and arresting parents who protest against it.

Russia is a traditional family values place. It has it's bad, just like everywhere else though. They could have handled things differently, but overall I believe they're better than the West.

Allready discussed. The war crime part is debatable as the Geneva convention has a section for when a surrending soldier pulls out a gun.

Cognitive dissonance is strong in you. Then again, I can't blame you. Western media has indoctrinated most of the people to believe that Russia is satan incarnate. The level of hypocrisy in the West is truly astounding.
