This one is is a little more sobering than normal I think.
I think even with all the propaganda floating around, it is still safe to assume that Russian morale is absolute dog**** for their frontline guys right now. I think this is a screaming example of this.
Not going to link it directly as it is rough to see. Seek it out with a couple more clicks if you want.
Essentially, it is another one of the umpteen drone grenade drops into a trench that wounds a Russian. Deviates from there when the very alive and conscious Russian makes the decision to pull the pin on a grenade, slide it under his chest armor and just wait for it to go off. This is a very clear suicide on the battlefield from someone who had completely given up. We won't know why exactly of course. Maybe it was just everything peaking at once, but I am positive that being wounded in a pointless war when you are just trying to stay warm did not help. Warrior suicide is already a tough topic across the world and maybe even more so here after our own recent campaigns so even I will not celebrate this one. He clearly did not want to be on this world anymore.
So looking at this from a macro view, the mental stability cases of Russian soldiers is going to be HORRENDOUS after this war. It might be their "lesser" population but Ukraine is still a meatgrinder of the worst kind and nobody can go through that uneffected. I have met an incredible American man in my travels who helped build their nonexistent mental health capabilities after their war in Afghanistan. I wonder if that program had lapsed in the time in between. I would assume so.
Same goes for the Ukes of course but I think most of them have a sense of higher purpose that can help alleviate a lot of the mental anguish. And I hope that that will be part of the rebuilding phase we can provide is some the expertise and experience some of our care workers can provide.
This whole damn thing is just so damn wrong. I know Russia needs to lose of course and this is their fight, first and always, but the old adage of old men ordering and young men dying still holds true to some extent.
