There is a reason Russian forces are wearing face-covers in Ukraine. That anonymity even became integral part of the official propaganda with the country plastered with images with covered faces like this https://ok.ru/group/53906516017252/album/922573735012/931001252708 https://ok.ru/group/53906516017252/album/922573735012/931001...

Amusingly, the slogan on the right hand side says: "we don't start wars, we finish them".

  War is peace, peace is war.

  There are some exceptions for the first part like current war in Ukraine or WW2.

    Or Chechnya, or Afghanistan, or Russian-Polish war (with WW2 and Ukraine it covers most of the post-WWI period, especially if one adds things like the China-Soviet conflict in 1929 when USSR was defending its colonial holdings). It isn't "exceptions". Russia, be it Grand Duchy of Moscow, Russian Empire, USSR or the current Russia has always been an aggressive state. You don't become such a large empire like Russian Empire or USSR without military aggression :)

Why is that guy breaking trigger discipline on a propaganda poster?
- nradov 2y ago
  Trigger discipline is a decadent Western concept.

    All the pictures of Taliban fighters that I saw after they took over in Afghanistan have good trigger discipline.

      Because they're trained by CIA.

    It doesn't matter. That is for example painted poster https://www.ozon.ru/product/poster-100-na-65-sm-plakat-voennyy-patrioticheskiy-nashe-delo-pravoe-pobeda-budet-za-nami-914221674/?__rr=1&abt_att=1&origin_referer=yandex.ru https://www.ozon.ru/product/poster-100-na-65-sm-plakat-voenn... or another https://stihi.ru/pics/2024/06/14/4714.jpg https://stihi.ru/pics/2024/06/14/4714.jpg (and if it reminds you something with 4-limbed symbol from 80+ years ago - it isn't an accident, it is the nature of the current regime in Russia) While it sounds like a pun, there is no "trigger discipline" in Russia (I myself an ROTC officer). In USSR/Russia the "never point your barrel at anybody or anything" discipline has been taught instead.
