Maybe Russia is laying a trap that will trigger more anti-Ukraine sentiment?

If they move these mothers into East Ukraine and Ukraine recaptures their terroritory, these mothers will have to move.

Then Russia can say, "look how bad Ukrainians are. They throw mothers out of their own houses", even though those houses were never theirs to begin with.

... IDK... I don't know jack shit, but it's the only way that it makes sense to me.

That and they can use them as human shields and if they are killed or injured, they can claim "Look at evil Ukraine killing innocent women (who we trucked in from thousands of miles away)"

Yup, I guess just classify them as enemy combatants then. They're fair game as they will be providing material support for the invading army, not some innocent civilian who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Yep, if you bomb the soldiers, you bomb innocent civilians.

It’s fucking gross.

How innocent are they though? Sure they believe the propaganda so they’re fools but given the correct information they’d still chose to aid Russia. Can’t feel bad for them when they chose to go to a war zone and war happens.

See? The propaganda’s already working. Say they believe in their husband’s rape of civilians during wartime and suddenly bombing auntie and meemaw doesn’t sound so bad.

Why do they think they need to supply their soldiers? Drills?
