I think that Ukrainian soldiers pretty much weaponizing the Universal Cat Distribution System for morale is the most hilarious thing. I think I heard that the consensus is that a tank crew finding a stray cat is good luck. If anybody can say more, I'm kinda curious about where that started.

Unless you happen to be an invading tank crew and said cat turns out to be pissed as fuck. Imagine being locked inside a steel casket with a raging ball of hair, teeth and claws. 🌻

This was actually a method of execution mentioned in Thomas Perry's book "Metzger's Dog" - but just a closet, not a steel casket.

Toss him in a Russian tank, and slam the hatch closed.

Ukrainian cats ain't messing around for sure.

Yet still they're more vulnerable than ever, and we have to keep that in mind.

Didn't they recently find a basement where they were torturing those that refused to fight?

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That seems unlikely. Where did you hear that?

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Search here for "Ukrainians uncover secret torture chamber in Kiev" and there should be a few posts about it, found a few more posts about them torturing protesters and if any of it is true then both Putin and Zelensky need to be held accountable, not just one, because Putin is openly an asshole.

But whatever, believe what you will.

[–] pluggerslugs@piefed.social 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I saw a post in this community that might be about this, but it's literally an article about a new Russian disinformation campaign that mentions secret torture sites.

It seems most charitable to believe that your reading comprehension and critical thinking need work.

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 1 points 17 hours ago

Like i already said Putin is openly an asshole and i don't know if you saw other videos of people fighting against conscription in Ukraine and freeing those that were in the trucks so i wouldn't be so dismissive that they want people to stop fighting back and when they have won if Zelensky refuses to step down then you've just replaced one devil with another, neither should be allowed to stay in a place of power, both have too much blood on their hands.

As far as i'm concerned Mykhailo Fedorov or someone like him should be put in charge after the war ends.
