They may not be psychopaths when they are recruited - but there does seem to be a concerted effort to turn them into psychopaths before they leave

It's not incredible at all. They're trained and selected for stomping heads, like Cobra Kai.
Unless you've lived in a barracks or prison, a military school or muy thai academy... you have no idea what it means to be beasted. All-boy environments are rough by their very nature.
And my experience is with orgs that have positive values, and some oversight. These Russian kids from dirt floor hamlets are thrown into a hell hole, and the ones who climb out are put in charge...

OBrien has talked about the conscripts in the past on his Twitter feed. Had a new thread today about available forces, and that it seems that the reserves they do have aren’t capable/trusted, so sending the Bucha guys back into Donbas after only two days rest:

This is an interesting conversation
Saying the Russians were on the run and didn’t have time to clean up and cover up
So now the world sees how it really is
They just shot everyone and ran

“To take a clear stand is not only crucial for us in Europe but also for the rest of the world,” Von der Leyen said. “A clear stand against Putin’s war of choice. A clear stand against the massacre of civilians. And a clear stand against the violation of the fundamental principles of the world order.”
Energy policy expert Simone Tagliapietra with the Bruegel think tank in Brussels said coal represented $22 million per day in revenue for Russia from Europe at current prices, compared with $935 million per day for oil and gas.
The coal ban “is important because it breaks the energy taboo,” he said, but it is not “a game changer. ... Targeting coal for the moment is too prudent. It’s too symbolic, and the time for symbolic measures is gone.
“It’s not with coal that Putin can get rich or sustain the funding of the war. The big flow of money is certainly oil and gas, not coal, and that’s the issue.”
The proposal still must be adopted unanimously by all 27 EU countries and is included among a new package of sanctions.

theres also layers of institutional and cultural failure. The Russian military has officially wanted to get rid of dedovchina for years - because a soldier killing 8 because he doesn’t want to get raped is bad for the military- and they obviously haven’t been successful. Soldiers who feel they are able to loot - down to gold teeth - requires a market for gold teeth. A soldier replacing his armor plate with a looted MacBook and getting killed is a failure, not a success

The comparison of psychos 2ould heavily sway towards russians. Their army is tortured by hasing. First 2 yrs of being a jr conscript you will be lucky not to be seriosly injured or killed by older soldiers that have been hased and are just counging the seconds until they can hase a young recruit. Raping, injuring and killing each other and a rate 3x of the US military. Of course dumbfuck bunny thinks its even because dumbfuck

Benny is an idiot. The Russian army is systematically engaging in organized, unit level, mass genocide either explicitly or implicitly ordered. People killed by bombs don't have their ears cut off, teeth pulled out, their hands tied behind their backs and gunshots to the back of the head.
And there two main reasons why anti tank missiles are so effective against the Russian army: 1) The Ukrainians are well trained, 2) The Russian army is bad at combined arms which would otherwise mitigate their effectiveness.

“The scale of the tragedy in Mariupol the world has not seen since the times of Nazi concentration camps,” mayor Vadym Boychenko said. Russians, he added, “turned our whole city into a death camp.” Russia’s special brigades collect and burn the bodies of murdered residents. Tens of thousands of civilians have been killed in Mariupol.
With the images coming out of Bucha and Mariupol of civilians slaughtered by the Russians, it's astonishing there are still fingers-in-ears-la-la-la rank morons like Benny unable to accept an unwelcome reality who say Ukrainians should roll over instead of fight, or that this is somehow all the West's fault.

Well, you have a point about the carpet bombing of cities. It's tough for a B-52 pilot to rape a civilian in front of their kids after they shot dad in front of their kids. Then carved a swastika on the dead mom's back while munching on some Borst they took out of the fridge while dad's brains ooze out all over the kitchen wall in front of the kids.
I guess we can cut the Russians some slack for bombing Mariupol into concrete dust and yet commit the raping, pillaging and murder of civilians w/o carpet bombing the place by air. You'd have to be a psychopath to admire that, or be incredulous to it."We don't beat the reaper by living longer, we beat the reaper by living well and living fully." - Randy Pausch
