Should I be happy two Russians died or Ukraine punishes homosexuality with death? One more reason to stay neutral on this mess.
Ah yes, of course, the drone only dropped the bomb because they're gay, and not because they're enemies in a fucking war. You cannot seriously be condemning Ukraine right now.

They were so entertained themselves they could be captured.
I condemn war in general. If my country were involved on one I would condemn it for equal invasion or not. This is all politicians' fault.

Ah yes, capture them with a drone. What was, most likely, a modified DJI Mavic that they were using to find targets of opportunity. Listen up. The one who started this was was Russia. The separatist movement itself was started by Russia, and staffed with their soldiers even before the war (look up the "Little Green Men"). This is a war of aggression by Russia, pure and simple. Neutrality is simply taking the side of the aggressor in this, and we've seen what Russia is doing to the areas it occupies. Torture chambers and mass graves galore. I'd rather not be on that side, but hey, you do you. I have a sneaking suspicion, however, that you wouldn't be neutral if another country invaded yours, disappeared your parents, destroyed your home and kidnapped your children.
The cellphone image doesn't make much sense, whether reflected or just upside-down.

Given how thoroughly institutionalized hazing and abuse are in the Russian military (dedovshchina), it may just as well be an instance of sexual abuse caught on camera. For my part, I just like throwing that bit in the face of an ardently anti-homosexual society. This attitude is common in Eastern Europe, but Russia places homophobia front and center in their anti-West speeches.
On a different note, this drone strike is turning into some sort of Loss meme, as seen here.

That's exactly the fear bullcrap tactics politicians use to invade other countries. "Hey bud, we could be nuclear bombed if we don't attack first. Let's invade Iraq and bomb civilians under the excuse terrorists hide in there". Truly national heroes (sarcasm noted).
Besides Zelenskyy is the kind of politician that takes pictures of himself "fighting with his men" that cowardly hides somewhere playing the martyr to the world. Meanwhile the men he locked up into the borders unable to run away do the fight for him. You think the Russians are there for their own free will? He's not different to Putin, both incompetent to negotiate their differences while oblige others battle to death for them.
Keep thinking of Russians as the bad guys if that makes you feel comfortable of them being killed. The only victims affected about this are everyone except the politicians that started the war.

It makes sense once you realize it's vertical flipped. No need to rotate, mirror in vertical instead of horizontal.
There's a quote, "Evil prevails when good men fail to act". Your neutral pacificsm is great - karma points on the rise - but it doesn't accomplish anything. It doesn't stop war atrocities on the battlefield, it doesn't stop abuses on the homefront, and it's not stopping either Russia (or Ukraine) from making things worse. It's background noise - necessary background noise, admittedly - drowned out by the sound of explosions and gunfire. You can shame everyone involved all you want -- heaven knows people more visible than you are already doing that -- yet we're still here. You can't shame the living to not die, or the dead to come back to life, nor should you shame people who believe, or the people who do not.
The only thing that can be said is that I'd rather have what is currently Ukraine succeed because there's a better chance their country will be content with stable borders again. What is currently Russia will just advance, if not today, then some other day, if it succeeds.
The subject matter here is tacky. I do agree with you on that point.
The 'centrist' ideology, i.e. "I think both sides are equally bad, and I am very smart." Translation: "I am indecisive mollusk terrified of committing to a decision with long-term consequences so instead I piss and moan about everyone else because no one else can see their flaws but meeeeeee."
You're just a passive fucking bystander who thinks taking a side in a conflict is an act of criminal intent, and staying out of a conflict is somehow a moral high ground; you have literally no grounds to be criticizing anyone, ever. This is an armed conflict with real people fighting and dying; EVERYONE can see how shit it is. However, one autocrat is hell-bent on pushing his own agenda at the expense of innocent lives, so, sit on the sidelines and bitch about how shit it is because hey, centrism is cool. Remember when Nazi Germany was defeated through polite conversation and civil discourse? No? Didn't fucking think so. So crawl back into your whatever hole you emerged out of and go back to falling in love with the smell of your own farts while contributing absolutely nothing.
Sometimes I'm impressed about the high moral ground republican bots have (it's a known fact social networks and forum sites are filled with them). Always flaunting about their weapons like barbarians and looking for any excuse to use them... or sell them. Were the Nazis and the whole Axis victorious they would be the good guys in history, while the Allies would be the villains reminded for commiting every war attrocity uncovered possible (like the USA did on Civil War or Vietnam but still pretend they did not). Do I need to remind everyone the USA is the only country in history that used atomic bombs on two cities full of civilians? Hittler pales in comparison to what they have done. War is not about good or bad, it's a competition for power through disinformation, half-truths and manipulation like always has.
So excuse me if I don't play your game. If you want me to join a war it doesn't concern me because you want someone else do the job for you while profiting from it, from my part I'm telling you: not gonna happen. This is my last comment on this post about the subject, you can keep fooling yourselves pretending you do something about the war by fanning the flames through propaganda and hate based on nationalities as you please. Evil knows no sides.
It... depends... Dedovshchina in Russian army is a pretty common thing. It may not be about actual sexual orientation, but about "showing his place" to a soldier by a senior in rank by forcing him or even raping him. And there are more cases when Ukrainian drones recorded hazing. Of course, I can be wrong, it would be great if I'm wrong, but I've heard too much about such stories so it was the first thing that came in my mind.

Wanting peace is fine. It's the only outcome. Just remember - to a bad day, that's the outcome, not the process. Not being ready to commit to the responsibility of maintaining some peace while only wanting to benefit from the said peace is selfish and unrealistic. Ambivalence does not lead anywhere specific if the result is not already there; and, if you want "peace", then you need it to lead to somewhere "good".
