"Nobody ran away. 'Brelok' took him (comrade) out and then ate him for two f*cking weeks," a speaker identified by HUR as a commander of a reconnaissance unit from Russia's 68th Motorized Rifle Division can be heard saying in the intercept.

What did they expect when they hired a cannibal soldier?

[-] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

"Hey cannibal soldier! Don't eat your comrades!"

"I promise not to eat any of the alive ones sir!'

"Good enough."

Why do you think they knew beforehand?

Did he wear a "cannibal and proud" shirt?

[-] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 8 points 3 months ago

Probably get hired directly from a prison where he served his life sentence

[-] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 7 points 3 months ago

Well he's called cannibal soldier for starters

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Ya'know we used to call him "Brelok," but then we found out he just loves cannibalism so we started calling him "Comrade Cannibal."

How can one know if this is authentic?

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 months ago

It's probably not. This short of propaganda has been used by militaries throughout history to dehumanize the enemy.

We-ell, I've seen it in a Russian TG chat. IIRC the conversation implies two soldiers deserted, were in a house in the middle of nowhere, one killed another, ate him for a couple of weeks, then died. Then their, eh, brothers in arms found that place.

Okay I am not trusting the KyivIndependant on this one man. Thats a wild claim that screams propaganda

[-] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 1 points 3 months ago

Yup. But might as well be true. C'mon, they take soldiers from prisons, what could go wrong?

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Idk man that seems like a really irresponsible way to interpret information. I prefer to stay vigilant regardless of which perspective I favor

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

I wouldn't be that surprised since they are pulling people from the bottom of the barrel.

Human meat can't be that good can it?
