This is an old tactic, based on the theory that killing a soldier only removes one man from the battlefield, but maiming him removes three men from the battlefield, since it takes two men to carry the inured soldier to safety.
Reports on "chemical warfare" and Russia "nuclear bunkers" aren't run-of-mill geopolitical rumors, and would need to be checked, double-checked, triple-checked, and with real sources and tangible facts by those claiming to be in "OSINT" these days. A lot of anonymous sources and unconfirmed rumors coming out of Bellingcat, which are finding their way to the "mainstream media" (eyeroll). These need more than the "Page Six" style rumor-mongering (IW) we see with too much of the "media."
War crimes are almost always abstract and subjective let’s face it. I wouldn’t and don’t condone the shooting of pows like the video seem to portray.
Usually though those wounded were left on the battlefield to either die slowly or force resource drain of the enemy to care for them.
It’s really kind of hard to tell.

the idea of all the head russians in bunkers comes from those flights, those flights have happened before and none of them were on the ground long enough to move much at all
No sane person who has a basic understanding of what nuclear weapons can do, would ever contemplate using them. Enough of them could literally end us over night; and there is no coming back from that. It would fundamentally alter the eco-system of the planet, - not to mention the climate.Putin spokesman: "No one is thinking about using - even about the idea of using - a nuclear weapon."
Nobody was going to invade Ukraine either, western hysteria...
I have seen the China CCP regime state media playing both sides of the fence - both pro-Russia and anti-Russia messages, so I would take Foreign Policy narrative journalism with some speculation: "Chinese state media is actively working—and paying—to spread pro-Russia misinformation on Western social media platforms." The challenge with narrative journalism in such online "magazines" is that facts are not the priority, but the narratives are the priority. Lifelong opponent of the CCP regime here, but always found that facts are long-term tools to challenge CCP (or Russia, etc.)
I posted a March 17 message on this in this community. But the reality is I have not seen a lot of tangible "evidence" of Bellingcat's claims of Russia military leaders in nuclear bunkers now. Seeing other alternate claims (rumors) by others. A lot of people with speculation, what-ifs, maybes, how long planes have landed, etc. 1000% agree with research and/of course freedom of expression; troubled to see MSM picking up random brainstorming which becomes "official analysis" when Bellingcat's name on it - as now "likely" or "probable" "facts." We just don't know that. Every time the MSM does this with unverified rumor, public trust in MSM sinks lower and lower. Rumors are necessary. They just need to not appear on headlines of the WSJ so much.
It was just a curious almost like a drill one post commented. On the seventeenth they all took off one after another. A couple did a landing and fifteen min turn around. It got everyone’s attention but no not a bunker run.
Wouldn't speak too quickly about what Russia is going to do from here, but obviously the results of the talks were positive.

I agree. But it's wild that Russia is admitting that it was putting out disinformation.
Yep, they made the entire thing up.
Well I obviously knew that. I was shocked to see them admit that it was fake though. I thought I would never, ever see a Russian official admit that they put out disinformation.
