Hell of a time and place for military cosplay

Cosplaying the CIA-backed colour revolution faction, curious…

Seriously though, doing urban exploration in military gear (even imitation stuff) is probably a bad idea in general, but especially when you’re actually at war. I guess the FSB were just like “dudes hanging around a power plant, shoot 'em”, and then tried to pull the saboteur thing post-facto, like American cops claiming “he was totally going for a gun” after shooting some guy in the back.

Sorry, that was pretty poor taste. I’m in a callous state of mind right now.

Counterpoint: anyone who willingly hangs up a union jack in their room deserves what they get.

Damn so Russia just admits that they killed 3 dudes without any physical threat? Feel like capturing them and and getting a (forced) confession would be more valuable propaganda wise. Or, you know, just realizing they’re gamers and letting them go

They do not admit that. The FSB claims they were shot at. The video report shows pictures of guns and bombs next to the bodies and in an apartment.
