      I always thought the surprise on the henchmen’s faces as their evil boss sacrifices them was a bit over dramatic. But now I’m seeing someone who really doesn’t get it. If your boss has you committing war crimes then the chance that they care about what happens to you is really fucking low.

    Stalin was a big fan of damnatio memoriae.

    wagner was deemed unnecessary, ru govt doesn’t need the most valuable service they provided: plausible deniability. they took away their heavy equipment, they took away their manpower, and they are taking away any memories of them. should have seen this coming since mutiny

    unless you want to believe some rando vatnik on twitter instead, where they are supposed to change crosses to cope pyramids instead, imo it’s even worse

    Wagner? Isn’t he a composer? I dont think there’s ever been any defence related Wagner ever.

    Or else.

    It’s a shitty thing to screw up a memorial to the war dead. Even though Wagner are screwed up, and the war is for imperialism. We honor the soldiers who died in Vietnam after all.

      Russia is a big fan of the whole, “strike your very existence from the records” level of distancing themselves from inconvenient people.
