I'm from Bakhmut, and there were a lot of people in the city, including myself, who were watching your content before the war. Unfortunately, my friend, who recommended your channel to me, was killed recently.
90% of people in your comments are heartbroken over a dog in war, but don't express the same sadness for humans. You've all normalized war and killing, but when it comes to a cute doggo, oh no, your heart breaks. Nothing wrong with that, it's just hilarious to see the contrast between empathy for a fellow human compared to a dog.
The soldiers know the score they knew what they were getting into, some of them even sound happy about it to quote them "This is the best job in the world!". I dont think the dog feels that way hes just a trapped innocent animal, he didnt ask for this he just wants to go back to normal. I feel the same empathy for the poor dog as I would for an abandoned child.
It weirds me out as well... I always think about that all these houses were someone's homes, and they are destroyed. All these people lost their most sacred place, if only - sometimes much more than that. I feel for the dog as well, of course, but I always put fellow humans first. And it's crazy how people are willing to ignore human suffering over a cute sad doggie.
From a numbers perspective, there are 8 billion people on the planet and 900 million dogs on the planet, dogs are rarer than people. From an emotional perspective, the dog is an innocent and not a combatant stuck in the wrong place at the wrong time and the same emotional unrest would be displayed by the viewer had it been an innocent human non combatant shot. From a financial perspective, the dog doesn't pay taxes while the human does therefore the human is "more valuable". Or it from a linguistic perspective that because we cannot understand what animals say therefore they're worth less than a human?
It's just crazy how we're at a point in time where we can watch direct perspectives from ground troops in close combat. Imagine having this in WW2 during ridiculously brutal battles like Stalingrad.
Yeah especially when you have to imagine the soviets went up against machine gun emplacements holding the Mg-42 Imagine watching your comrade get turned into red mist by a 42 right in front of you that’s be horrifying
Exactamente en eso pienso todo el tempo, así ocurrió con la primera guerra mundial y con la segunda, ahora todos amigos pero millones y millones de personas muertas, sin descendencia ni vidas vividas , posiblemente gente genial muerta que podrían haber cambiado el mundo para bien, familias rotas , todo para nada , por un pedazo de tierra insignificante comparado , como decía Carl Sagan con todo el cosmos, solo somos como motas de polvo en un "punto azul pálido". Una locura, una pesadilla total.
Like you say at the beginning, as someone who 'grew up' watching the combat footage from early 2000s Iraq and Afghanistan in 480/720p with no stabilization etc. it is completely WILD to watch this war unfold in stabilized, well color-graded 4K with good audio. It's so surreal.
For all those asking about the dog, happy to answer questions/jump on. We do animal evaucations from the front (Kharkiv-based) and it's never-ending. Thanks for all the support!

U.S. soldiers commenting on these sorts of battles is silly. They are not experts. Most of them have never seen combat like this. The number of close-contact engagements like the scale we see in Ukraine were almost non existent in Afghanistan and Iraq. Check the DOD data sheets. Upwards of 98% of insurgents in Iraq were killed by drones or air assets
Agreed. There’s 19 year old Ruskies and Ukrainians with more applicable experience than some career guys that are NCOs. We’re in for a wake up call when it’s our turn up to bat
Who do you think is training portions of the Ukrainian military ? You don't think parts of Iraq were exactly like this ? Fallujah , Ramadi, Baghdad ? Maybe you are the one that shouldn't be commenting. Just remember Iraq had the 5th largest military in the world at the time we invaded. You're goofy 😂

Something our MOUT training lacks is the unexpected chaos of wreck shit all around you and dangers. Tons of hide holes can be utilized in this terrain vs the neatly clean/empty MOUT buildings.
Sometimes in an offensive, a controlled barrage of artillery and ordnance is used ahead of time to intentionally destroy the surrounding because it creates hiding and cover. Same can be done for defensive ops if a line needs to be held tightly.
It’s even sadder cuz they can’t even comprehend what’s going on living a normal life with you family the. Getting abandon and having to survive when you where getting taken care of shit is gut wrenching depressing
they probably have long range drone surveillance centered on any sort of tank or AFV/APC at least a few miles out from the border, those things are noisy, hot and way too big to hide. I'm sure the constant threat of a Russian sniper sitting around the same range inspecting your eyebrow plucking skills through a medium range scope weighs much more heavily on their minds
Because the product is you. This is a way for us army to recruit. Making the war looks cool , where you could instead get a 6figure job in Los Angeles , you would become an army and loose your life. Your health or 10y of your time not building wealth or skills.
How much area Russia is now controlling?And I heard on this news that Ukrainian army is doing much better than Russian army they are still holding some major and good Stratagical areas like this one in the video but when they loose those areas news says "Those areas were not strategically good so Ukraine retreated that area"......
@@Rusky-e2wCheck for Military Summary, Web Union channels. Adiivka was taken months ago. They found an old Soviet tunnel and hop it's gone. They encircled it also. Almost, they left an opening so that the Ukrainians can run away. I suggest also History Legend. Bro, you are very late to the party. They're now in Torretsk. They are also approaching Pokrovsk. They are since months in front of Chasiv Yar, trying to find a way to encircle the AFU. And recently they were encircling and pushing hard to the bastion city of Vuhledar.
@@Densiozo So I guess Russia will definitely take Ukraine there is no chance for Ukraine to win like I think they don't have enough MAN power to fight now
The vehicle was a US Army MRAP that shot down the drone. We started getting them when they phased the Humvee's out. We used the Stryker more in Iraq but they started using them then.
Personally, I'd prefer longer, one part videos. We can do our own time management ;) and if necessary, we can stop the video at 50% ourselves and continue watching at a later moment. No need for you to cut them up, unless it really does help you with the algorithm. At any rate, great video, once again! LOVE your content!! 👍👍👍
Video quality is insane in almost all of these videos. I was in Afghanistan as recently as 2010 and my footage looks like security cam footage from 1978. War in high def from here on out forever brother.
The scene with the dog hiding under the couch broke my heart the first time I saw this video, we don't deserve them. I'm a huge dog lover, so I almost cried when I saw it... He/she must be so confused and scared. I know it might be easier said than done, but I'd probably try and get my dog out, or die trying, the love for them are just too big.
Those lads are pretty fit, and recover fast. It’s just a slog when you aren’t eating right, getting cold interrupted sleep, pulling watch, performing non combat jobs.. They are in pretty good condition.
most these guys aren't some young teenager or in their twenties. they're all pretty deep in their thirties and fourties, some looking to be in their fifties. What a strain that must feel on their bodies.
@@AAWWorldChampionship i dont think that an elite assault unit is made of of conscripts. I see more obiks drunk or suffering from addictions in the russian side.
@@ChimuFCLG no you’re right. Ukraine uses Azov for all their propaganda. They’re well trained and well funded. But in terms of standard ground troops, this is absolutely happening. We just don’t hear about it. Many Russian conscripts are criminals, or people seeking citizenship in Russia. They don’t need to forcibly recruit en masse.
@@AAWWorldChampionship of course, any nation fighting a war for its own survival is going to make a draft. Also, most of the recruits that you see in the ukrainian army aren't younger than 28 or so, so It seems like they aren't at the point to start makings a full draft. Also, im surprised to see all regular infantry units in the ukrainian side relatively better equiped, in Telegram i've seen a lot of videos of russian troops using steel helmets or chest rigs without armour.
@@ChimuFCLG Sure. But they simply throw you in jail if you refuse or resist. The SBU will simply eliminate you, for desertion or otherwise. I don't care about equipment. We had tons of equipment in Afghanistan, and we pulled out of there with our tail between our legs. You can equip a greenhorn with quad nods and UGL's out the wazoo, it doesn't mean he can beat less equipped but better trained/more advantageous soldiers. I don't think Russia uses their best equipment on conscripts. I also think there's a lot of Soviet surplus being used, because why wouldn't you use it? We act like Russia is incompetent, and then shake in fear over them taking over Eastern Europe. It's silly.
If you've been to Ukraine like I have, I went there twice 2009 and 2011, right before all the wars, it's a shock to see this happening. Never thought relations with Russia would result in this. Seeing the scenery, it seems like a memory of the past, the way a city used to be, and seeing it now in a war scarred landscape it's depressing and sorrowful. Ukraine had a lot of promise as a nation right before the war, now it's becoming just another Syria.
Well, it's not because of bad relations with Russia, it's becauce the West overthrew the legitimate power in Ukraine in a coup of 2013, and then the Ukrainian nazis that came then to power started to genocide Russian speaking people of the Eastern Ukraine.
@@DS-lk3tx the US government kind of bought them out since the end of the Cold War 1991. I remember when I went there and met a American expat retiree and he told me Ukraine was sold to America after the Soviet breakup.

Seeing that dudes AK completely malfunction and shut down was pretty wild, seeing him have to pull out tools to take the dust cover off and not be able to get it off, was also wild. Maybe not mounting shit over a dust cover is the way to go for combat.
Man I get all sweaty after a 80min round of Squad... Imagine being stuck in a battle for life and death for like 16hrs straight.... I cant even imagine the stress levels , the adrenaline, the cortisol,.the fear, the joy, the feeling of being completely overwhelmed and the pure relief when the battle is over and you can leave to fight another day God bless all the warriors for what they endure for us ❤
@@arnoldvezbon6131 I mean, Norway contributes a whole lot to Ukraine, not just ammo and equipment, but also cold hard cash. We are among Ukraines top supporters, so I am not sure what you are talking about.
Currently working on an independent film trying to bring it mainstream. I’ve won 3 awards for it so far and basically when I was in Afghanistan, I had a GoPro on my helmet. We got blown up and an Afghan took my GoPro only for me to recover it a year later so you see the duality of man, right? You see us and our operations. I was special forces so it’s a lot of sneaking up on the enemy at night and you see bare handed kills by me and some teammates. After my GoPro gets taken it’s this insurgent that was walking around with it talking to the camera like he was a damn TH-camr. Showing his family. Playing with his sons and you barely see any combat footage on his side. He shows apaches and A10’s flying over but that’s really it. Then he has the camera on when we invade his village and it ends with my master sergeant saying “Ostrom, is this your GoPro? And he bends over and picks it up and reads my name off. It shows a ton tho. Buddies dying, shows us pinned down and making jokes, a good buddy of mine playing guitar and singing. The OG Zach Bryan btw. Just to see both sides is unprecedented and it’s been over a decade in the making but it’s finally getting publicly released in December 2024

Imagine growing up playing then you get to live the real life thing. This is nuts. Hats off to those who didnt get a choice but make the best they can do.
The vision range, foggy weather, hard to see/walk thorugh ruins are looks like a real nightmare for combat. It really remember me the world of stalker.
It’s so wild to see close combat in the perspective of being at home and safe now. My hearts beating 100 miles an hour, just that excruciating groping time after you make contact but can’t really pin them down and every movement is dangerous until you can get an idea of where exactly their positions are.
I think the dog sticks out because as humans we almost universally love them as pets. It's easy to hate another person for their beliefs or their actions, and they can kill you or you can kill them. But a dog is innocent; it didn't hate anyone, and now it's caught between two armies doing their best to annihilate each other in the most inhuman conditions. Here's hoping it sees the other side.
These guys don’t do this for a few hours, then go home to a warm meal and an interruption free nap! They’re avoiding death 24/7.. No loved ones or comfort. Who knows when they see a shower, or get to read a letter from someone they love or get to kiss their mom? This is the definition of heartache 🙏 💔
@@macsenhayes . I didn’t think war was a 9-5 job for anyone. In a civilized world war would be read about in history books. We’ve come far enough as people not to see the barbaric nature of resolving issues by killing people who’s beliefs differ from our own
The vehicle segment when they shot down the FPV drone is an MRAP. I was a mechanized infantry in Baghdad, so the MRAP/Bradley fighting combat segments bring me right back to my training and deployments. The landscape also looks a little like Grafenweher in winter (aside from the hellish bombed out buildings.) I hope that dog is okay, my heart aches thinking about it :(
Ain't nothing wrong with you pausing it and explaining your perspective given the fact that you're a seasoned veteran. You bring a lot of insight to the content
These losers had their asses kicked. in fact they ran away from REALLY well-fortified positions among the first when Russians started to REALLY assault it. Took Russians 1-2 weeks to sweep the city after first entering it. Azov is a bunch of cowards that only know how to kill those that can't really fight back. They never stay and fight. They proved that in Mariupol and in Avdeevka. They are NEVER at the LOC, and it's easy to see why. Same goes for their buddies, the Kraken.
@@ChristopherAnderson-e5o exactly... the amount of propaganda in the west is insane. Ukraine is being ran/controlled by western puppets, and those in charge of Ukraine are literal fascists that murdered their own people by 10s of thousands since 2014. Biggest propaganda machine is the west.
This is nothing but sad. Almost everybody left their place, left his pets..Seeing this innocent dog, being there, alone, scared, hungry, cold and waiting for something to happen...... This is crushing.
Makes me feel kinda grossed out to know people are watching this as entertainment. We watch war footage now like it's a video game channel, there's a detachment...or worse, people know and accept it as real but don't care, or they only care for it as a form of entertainment they consume and then watch something else without giving it another thought. Even the soldiers are uploading, editing it with music etc, modern life, nothing feels real anymore.
some of us do have extremely dark and morbid interests and enjoy (in a weird way) reading and watching stuff about the true depravity humans are capable of. in my case, tho it's not war, i've dealt with people try to kill me many times before. but if anything, it just furthered my interest in both weaponry, combat, and the human mind all three. in fact, of each of the ways people tried killing me, i read up prior on exactly how i would die had someone tried it against me out of pure curiosity, and ironically that same morbid knowledge that helped me avoid even potential hospital trips, despite only being like 9-11 at the time. while hopefully i'm not in a wartime situation, it still scratches that dark, morbid itch. also: if they're adding music, that's just typical surreal humor being used as a coping mechanism. i make light of the abuse i endured at elementary school largely for similar reasons. it's a horrific situation, but you got two options: soften the blow by joking about it, or let it consume you to the point you in a psychotic episode put your body on track to an early exit from the war via a closed casket.
You could say "people don't care", but if you did care what would you actually do about it? The core function of a government is to engage in violence and this is one aspect of that violence. Diplomacy failed, violence was chosen - tale as old as time. The only thing you can do is hope that you won't be forcefully put in the shoes of these men, assuming you don't like what you see. Interest in watching such things is inherent to humans, because it helps us assess the risks of potential conduct without actually engaging in said conduct. Learning about new things you don't want to try yourself is entertaining indeed... but also helpful for your future survival.

I'm from Avdiivka. The war began for us in 2014. After a few months of occupation, I left everything and fled with my child, as it turned out, forever. We traveled at our own risk along a road through a field that might have already been mined. It was the only way out, as occupiers were at all the city exits. In 2022, the war struck my parents and relatives again. My parents' apartment burned down, and then a shell hit. My grandmother's apartment was directly hit, and my aunt's apartment also burned. It's a pity that all the photos were destroyed. Those memories will remain only in my mind. I tried to watch the video a few times. It was very difficult to do. It so happened that friends and relatives were defending my hometown.

Dude that fog is so thick...you wouldn't know if a T90 was 1000 meters away. You'd just see black immediately...dead.
they probably have long range drone surveillance centered on any sort of tank or AFV/APC at least a few miles out from the border, those things are noisy, hot and way too big to hide. I'm sure the constant threat of a Russian sniper sitting around the same range inspecting your eyebrow plucking skills through a medium range scope weighs much more heavily on their minds
thanks for not trying to sell me anything or make me sign up to something , refreshing ! good video
Always rememeber, if there's no ad in a video, then the whole video is ad. Just think

Because the product is you. This is a way for us army to recruit. Making the war looks cool , where you could instead get a 6figure job in Los Angeles , you would become an army and loose your life. Your health or 10y of your time not building wealth or skills.

Love watching your videos it’s like your saying what I’m thinking when you analyze the situation
these videos are breathtaking, thx for spreading them
The russians took Avdiivka in case anyone was wondering.
..no wonder..
How much area Russia is now controlling?And I heard on this news that Ukrainian army is doing much better than Russian army they are still holding some major and good Stratagical areas like this one in the video but when they loose those areas news says "Those areas were not strategically good so Ukraine retreated that area"......
@@Rusky-e2wCheck for Military Summary, Web Union channels. Adiivka was taken months ago. They found an old Soviet tunnel and hop it's gone. They encircled it also. Almost, they left an opening so that the Ukrainians can run away.
I suggest also History Legend. Bro, you are very late to the party. They're now in Torretsk. They are also approaching Pokrovsk. They are since months in front of Chasiv Yar, trying to find a way to encircle the AFU. And recently they were encircling and pushing hard to the bastion city of Vuhledar.
@@Densiozo Thanks mate.... Whenever I watch news they are just saying Russians are dying but I think reality is different
@@Densiozo So I guess Russia will definitely take Ukraine there is no chance for Ukraine to win like I think they don't have enough MAN power to fight now
The vehicle was a US Army MRAP that shot down the drone. We started getting them when they phased the Humvee's out. We used the Stryker more in Iraq but they started using them then.
I can feel the adrenaline. My heart is racing. With the drones, it's almost like a terminator movie. Soup sandwich.
Personally, I'd prefer longer, one part videos. We can do our own time management ;) and if necessary, we can stop the video at 50% ourselves and continue watching at a later moment. No need for you to cut them up, unless it really does help you with the algorithm.
At any rate, great video, once again! LOVE your content!! 👍👍👍
Guy is using the Kpyk "crooks" stock on that AK. That's crazy... it's war proof, I'm buying it now!
Thank you for covering and presenting this
Video quality is insane in almost all of these videos. I was in Afghanistan as recently as 2010 and my footage looks like security cam footage from 1978. War in high def from here on out forever brother.
What is the difference between other and Afghanistan Taliban and street fighter why everyone is losing there ?
The scene with the dog hiding under the couch broke my heart the first time I saw this video, we don't deserve them. I'm a huge dog lover, so I almost cried when I saw it... He/she must be so confused and scared. I know it might be easier said than done, but I'd probably try and get my dog out, or die trying, the love for them are just too big.
My dog is coming with me wherever I go. I could never leave without her.
@@JohnWick-stardawgThis is war, so everything is broken. Did the residents of the house survive the Russian shelling?
@@Life-xq2qu what are you on about? Lay off the meth pipe little man
The owner is certainly dead somewhere in that house probably right next to the dog😢
It is also possible that the owners needed (was forces to) to evacuate and they did not get the dog with them. But still breaks my hearth.

*SBU puts a barrel against your head* "Congrats, you've been conscripted into the Ukrainian Military"
@@AAWWorldChampionship i dont think that an elite assault unit is made of of conscripts.
I see more obiks drunk or suffering from addictions in the russian side.
@@ChimuFCLG no you’re right. Ukraine uses Azov for all their propaganda. They’re well trained and well funded. But in terms of standard ground troops, this is absolutely happening. We just don’t hear about it. Many Russian conscripts are criminals, or people seeking citizenship in Russia. They don’t need to forcibly recruit en masse.
@@AAWWorldChampionship of course, any nation fighting a war for its own survival is going to make a draft.
Also, most of the recruits that you see in the ukrainian army aren't younger than 28 or so, so It seems like they aren't at the point to start makings a full draft.
Also, im surprised to see all regular infantry units in the ukrainian side relatively better equiped, in Telegram i've seen a lot of videos of russian troops using steel helmets or chest rigs without armour.
@@ChimuFCLG Sure. But they simply throw you in jail if you refuse or resist. The SBU will simply eliminate you, for desertion or otherwise. I don't care about equipment. We had tons of equipment in Afghanistan, and we pulled out of there with our tail between our legs. You can equip a greenhorn with quad nods and UGL's out the wazoo, it doesn't mean he can beat less equipped but better trained/more advantageous soldiers. I don't think Russia uses their best equipment on conscripts. I also think there's a lot of Soviet surplus being used, because why wouldn't you use it? We act like Russia is incompetent, and then shake in fear over them taking over Eastern Europe. It's silly.
If you've been to Ukraine like I have, I went there twice 2009 and 2011, right before all the wars, it's a shock to see this happening. Never thought relations with Russia would result in this. Seeing the scenery, it seems like a memory of the past, the way a city used to be, and seeing it now in a war scarred landscape it's depressing and sorrowful. Ukraine had a lot of promise as a nation right before the war, now it's becoming just another Syria.
and all because of an arrogant self-righteous tyrant running a neighboring country
Well, it's not because of bad relations with Russia, it's becauce the West overthrew the legitimate power in Ukraine in a coup of 2013, and then the Ukrainian nazis that came then to power started to genocide Russian speaking people of the Eastern Ukraine.
Right before the US overthrew the Ukrainian government? 😂😂
@@DS-lk3tx the US government kind of bought them out since the end of the Cold War 1991. I remember when I went there and met a American expat retiree and he told me Ukraine was sold to America after the Soviet breakup.

Seeing that dudes AK completely malfunction and shut down was pretty wild, seeing him have to pull out tools to take the dust cover off and not be able to get it off, was also wild. Maybe not mounting shit over a dust cover is the way to go for combat.
Fr. He looked calmed too. Crazy control.
You don’t force your gun into battery like that. Especially not muzzle in the dirt and kickstarting. It’s a training issue, not a gear issue.
Trying to fix it while standing in the doorway like a fat target was pretty wild too.

Currently working on an independent film trying to bring it mainstream. I’ve won 3 awards for it so far and basically when I was in Afghanistan, I had a GoPro on my helmet. We got blown up and an Afghan took my GoPro only for me to recover it a year later so you see the duality of man, right? You see us and our operations. I was special forces so it’s a lot of sneaking up on the enemy at night and you see bare handed kills by me and some teammates. After my GoPro gets taken it’s this insurgent that was walking around with it talking to the camera like he was a damn TH-camr. Showing his family. Playing with his sons and you barely see any combat footage on his side. He shows apaches and A10’s flying over but that’s really it. Then he has the camera on when we invade his village and it ends with my master sergeant saying “Ostrom, is this your GoPro? And he bends over and picks it up and reads my name off. It shows a ton tho. Buddies dying, shows us pinned down and making jokes, a good buddy of mine playing guitar and singing. The OG Zach Bryan btw. Just to see both sides is unprecedented and it’s been over a decade in the making but it’s finally getting publicly released in December 2024
Let us know when you bring out the film. Respects man.
@@adandel2281 it was just shown at SXSW in Austin, and it should be making one more appearance in Los Angeles before the actual world premiere. If you live in LA I can get you a seat. I just can’t do a lot so please nobody else ask unless you really mean it

It’s so wild to see close combat in the perspective of being at home and safe now. My hearts beating 100 miles an hour, just that excruciating groping time after you make contact but can’t really pin them down and every movement is dangerous until you can get an idea of where exactly their positions are.
Also as an American combat vet I’m very impressed with the Ukrainian military’s professionalism and capabilities.
I think the dog sticks out because as humans we almost universally love them as pets. It's easy to hate another person for their beliefs or their actions, and they can kill you or you can kill them. But a dog is innocent; it didn't hate anyone, and now it's caught between two armies doing their best to annihilate each other in the most inhuman conditions. Here's hoping it sees the other side.
These guys don’t do this for a few hours, then go home to a warm meal and an interruption free nap! They’re avoiding death 24/7.. No loved ones or comfort. Who knows when they see a shower, or get to read a letter from someone they love or get to kiss their mom? This is the definition of heartache 🙏 💔
These guys are really well trained and equipped so it's possible they only send them in temporarily to cover withdrawals and counter-attack.
@@macsenhayes . I didn’t think war was a 9-5 job for anyone. In a civilized world war would be read about in history books. We’ve come far enough as people not to see the barbaric nature of resolving issues by killing people who’s beliefs differ from our own

The vehicle segment when they shot down the FPV drone is an MRAP.

excellent video of Author and work AFU, respect!
These losers had their asses kicked. in fact they ran away from REALLY well-fortified positions among the first when Russians started to REALLY assault it. Took Russians 1-2 weeks to sweep the city after first entering it. Azov is a bunch of cowards that only know how to kill those that can't really fight back. They never stay and fight. They proved that in Mariupol and in Avdeevka. They are NEVER at the LOC, and it's easy to see why. Same goes for their buddies, the Kraken.

Makes me feel kinda grossed out to know people are watching this as entertainment.
We watch war footage now like it's a video game channel, there's a detachment...or worse, people know and accept it as real but don't care, or they only care for it as a form of entertainment they consume and then watch something else without giving it another thought.
Even the soldiers are uploading, editing it with music etc, modern life, nothing feels real anymore.
some of us do have extremely dark and morbid interests and enjoy (in a weird way) reading and watching stuff about the true depravity humans are capable of.
in my case, tho it's not war, i've dealt with people try to kill me many times before. but if anything, it just furthered my interest in both weaponry, combat, and the human mind all three. in fact, of each of the ways people tried killing me, i read up prior on exactly how i would die had someone tried it against me out of pure curiosity, and ironically that same morbid knowledge that helped me avoid even potential hospital trips, despite only being like 9-11 at the time.
while hopefully i'm not in a wartime situation, it still scratches that dark, morbid itch.
also: if they're adding music, that's just typical surreal humor being used as a coping mechanism. i make light of the abuse i endured at elementary school largely for similar reasons. it's a horrific situation, but you got two options: soften the blow by joking about it, or let it consume you to the point you in a psychotic episode put your body on track to an early exit from the war via a closed casket.
Ever heard of best gore? People would watch the most grosteque stuff you could possibly think of as entertainment.
You could say "people don't care", but if you did care what would you actually do about it? The core function of a government is to engage in violence and this is one aspect of that violence. Diplomacy failed, violence was chosen - tale as old as time. The only thing you can do is hope that you won't be forcefully put in the shoes of these men, assuming you don't like what you see. Interest in watching such things is inherent to humans, because it helps us assess the risks of potential conduct without actually engaging in said conduct. Learning about new things you don't want to try yourself is entertaining indeed... but also helpful for your future survival.
Yeah you just detach yourself from it and just take it as a game

I'm from Avdiivka. The war began for us in 2014. After a few months of occupation, I left everything and fled with my child, as it turned out, forever. We traveled at our own risk along a road through a field that might have already been mined. It was the only way out, as occupiers were at all the city exits. In 2022, the war struck my parents and relatives again. My parents' apartment burned down, and then a shell hit. My grandmother's apartment was directly hit, and my aunt's apartment also burned. It's a pity that all the photos were destroyed. Those memories will remain only in my mind. I tried to watch the video a few times. It was very difficult to do. It so happened that friends and relatives were defending my hometown.
