Lock up his fucking kids, give their property to the homeless. Fuck this softly softly shit.

Brilliant idea. Fully behind it. Are his kids outside Russia NOW?
If yes I'd go further. He's torturing POWs
I'd go full berserker. You want them, come get them Putin. If not....

None of them are leaving anymore. They're untouchable.

Cool, they get to live in their tiny shithole and visit other shitholes, hoping none of their planes is ever forced to make an emergency landing in a third country that may extradite them to the West.

Unfortunately that's doable for them.

But what do you mean by 'other shitholes'?

Other pariah states that will not extradite war criminals.

I would like to thank the Dutch for their extreme desire to fairly and neutrally prosecute all those that break international law. Nothing is more indicative of this than them setting up a "special court". Godspeed to them.

The implication being what?

A fair trial is perfectly possible, should those accused wish to defend themselves in court.

Fair

Ukrainians trying to hit Antonovsky bridge again tonight. Rus air defense filmed working on it.

Rus telegrams filled with info on Ukraine adding strength on the front lines, possibly preparing for a large scale counter-offensive in several directions. Either that, or rus are simply paranoic (which is more likely), or maybe they just hype these things up on purpose (to justify their future retreats).

Russia’s war against Ukraine has taken yet another absurd turn as one of Vladimir Putin’s most devoted cronies took to social media to demonstrate the epitome of Russian military prowess: his three underage sons haphazardly firing off weapons in Ukraine as they are babysit by a top commander.

“Akhmat, Eli and Adam got right up to enemy positions and provided cover fire for advancing fighters,” Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov wrote of his sons, aged 14 to 16.

The announcement was accompanied by a three-and-a-half-minute video in which the three teens could be seen standing in a trench as they periodically fire off a grenade launcher and machine gun at invisible “enemies” in the distance. The boys—who can be seen in the footage clearly taking instructions from Zamid Chalayev, the Chechen commander apparently tasked with babysitting them—at times stand at full height when they should presumably be taking cover, sparking some speculation that the “incoming fire” they are so bravely standing against is not incoming at all.

Kadyrov insisted, however, that other Chechen fighters were “pleasantly surprised” by his sons’ performance. And according to him, it was a glowing success: they supposedly “stayed in their positions until they fended off the latest Nazi counterattack.”

While Kadyrov touted the footage as proof he’d kept good on his word to send his own kids into the battlefield, it was instead met with calls for he and his sons to win an Oscar.

These Top Putin Cronies Vowed to Fight in Ukraine Themselves. So Where Are They?

“Did you think we would believe that your three bastards are on the front line with this cheap staging? Show us a real battle and not cheap performances,” wrote Chechen blogger Khasan Khalitov.

Others noted that Kadyrov appeared to have given his sons weapons produced by NATO rather than Russian-made ones.

Meanwhile, Kadyrov’s stunt got a seal of approval from Russian officials, which should perhaps come as no surprise after Moscow spent the past several weeks sending thousands of freed convicts, Wagner mercenaries, and poorly trained draftees into the battlefield.

“Kadyrov is a good father,” said Nina Ostanina, the head of the Russian State Duma’s committee on family issues.

Although Russian law forbids children from taking part in the war, Ostanina told Russian media that Kadyrov would get a pass because Chechen culture “differs with its traditions from our Russian culture.”

“If you can rebuke him for anything, it’s not for this,” she said. “I think he just wants to show by his example so that other dads who call themselves patriots will think about where their overgrown children are.”

KATERYNA TYSHCHENKO – THURSDAY, 20 OCTOBER 2022, 17:31

French experts were able to identify the weapons that the Russian forces used to attack an evacuation convoy in the vicinity of the village of Kurylivka in Kharkiv Oblast.

Source: Interfax-Ukraine, quoting Oleksandr Filchakov, Head of the Kharkiv Oblast Prosecutor’s Office, during a press briefing on Thursday, 20 October

Details: Filchakov reported that French experts examined 16 out of the 26 bodies of civilians killed as a result of the Russian attack on an evacuation convoy near the village of Kurylivka in Kharkiv Oblast, as well as two out of six cars in the convoy that were damaged in the attack.

Quote: "Parts of 30 and 45 mm highly explosive shells were found in the cars. Our French colleagues concluded that [these shells] are used with military guns mounted on heavy military vehicles, BMP-2 and BRM 3K Rys [Lynx]. These vehicles are in service with the Russian army.

In addition, metal remnants of shells were found in 16 civilian bodies they examined. [The French experts] identified these shells and the weapon from which they were fired... It looks like these were VOG-17 and VOG-25."

Background:

• A total of 24 people have been killed, including a pregnant woman and 13 children, as a result of a Russian attack on a civilian convoy near the village of Kurylivka in the Kupiansk district, Kharkiv Oblast. The attack took place at 09:00 on 25 September.
  
  
• Law enforcement officers found the 25th civilian killed in the Russian attack on the convoy during an inspection near the village of Kurylivka. Another person was found on 17 October, bringing the total death count to 26."

(vs Drag Queen shows in USA)

I'd rather my child have fun with make believe than me have to give them a DNA test at home just in case his head is blown of by an M-4 wielding maniac as he's trying to learn what 3 X 7 is.

Texas schools send parents DNA kits to identify their kids’ bodies in emergencies (nbcnews.com)

Very amazing story

If yes I'd go further. He's torturing POWs
I'd go full berserker. You want them, come get them Putin. If not....

The problem with ideas like this is that lots of important people's families aren't nearly as well protected as their politician relatives.

None of them are leaving anymore. They're untouchable.

Prone to vertigo near open windows though.
