I feel a bit like this is something to share after the fact, not while he remains useful in any capacity.
Yeah, like....what about Tomov's family? I get wanting to post this, but any Russians that see this will now know that if they get captured, their "assistance" will be put on the internet in full display for the world to see.
Can any one see how that might be a problem?
I don't think many of the Russians who surrendered, are being welcomed back home in general. Fair point, though.
I think there is a big difference between "not being welcomed back" and what might happen to "the family of a traitor", though.
I think for those russians who want to end this was asap he might be a hero.
Fair, but usually I think the thought process is closer to "surrender, or get shot in the head" so the risk of getting exiled by your countrymen or being shamed online is kind of secondary
I can only imagine what is waiting behind that camera if he decides not to cooperate
I guess it's better than a video of them being executed
For them it is.
