Oh that’s cool, live organ harvesting
Hmm who else has historically done this and was more or less supporting Russia…
Hmmm
Tankies: "Russia is simply looking out for its sickest. Do you want them to die, you monster?!"
I mean… yes, if the price is harvesting organs from POWs. Not really even a controversial answer.
I see you haven't talked to too many Tankies.
Oh, believe me, I have, and it’s great fun to troll them.
The act of removing organs from POWs violates the Geneva Conventions, which protect the dignity and rights of prisoners of war. Such actions, if confirmed, could be subject to international prosecution and sanctions.
'If confirmed'? I'd think the body being returned without internal organs would be confirmation enough.
What other excuse could Putin use? That rats got to the body and only ate the heart, liver and kidneys?
conventions are only suggestions if you've got nothing to lose
Would this be the first Geneva violation? Or this is consisted worse than pillaging and raping?
Ooh Russia has done it now.
I'd wait until it's reported by bigger media channels with their reputation at the stake. Not only it's stupid, easily provable, heinous, inhumane, but it's also hard to carry it out, en masse and for no reason, with transplants being executed by select few clinics and less than a thousand of doctors. And having read a lot about prisons and army in USSR and modern Russia, I've seen a lot of morbid shit done to a living being, but yet to hear something about organized organ extraction from the dead. It also dawns on me that with how underfed and beaten POWs come back to Ukraine, there should've been a different camp to secure their health for their organs to be worth an operation.
Right now I mark it red but am open to rewiev that.
Who said anything about harvesting from the dead.
I'd assume dead once they are on the table knowing our sad state of medicine.
You seem to think they're letting pows die and extracting organs later? Not much point in that.
You are the second person to point that out. That's on me. No, I don't think they choose dead or dying for transplants because, yes, the conditions leading to death and degenerative processes starting right after that render organs useless.
Russian troops gotta eat something.

Straight out of the Israel playbook

Why’d you copy their comment?
Sorry, won't do that again
Sick fucks
Friendly reminder the republiQans back russia.
Well, many do. Perjury Traitor Greed, Beavis, probably the Vaping Handjobber
Was like this when we found it, is normal for kidneys to be lost from gunshot, da?
is normal for kidneys…
its quite normal to read such stuff in propaganda times, without them needing to happen at all. and it has always been like this.
Gotta fund the war machine somehow.
My unfounded conspiracy theory is that it is to hide certain torture and poisoning techniques. I have no knowledge on the subject, but it seems like a practical yet poorly thought out thing the orcs would do. Remove stomach and kidneys to hide stuff...then remove other things to obfuscate.
Also selling organs on various markets to fund their invasion....viable?
Not a doctor. But while probably true that some poisons could cause very visible damage to some specific organs (liver, kidneys), but if you know what you are looking for, you could most likely find it in fat tissue, hair, nails.
I feel making extra cash on the side for mister important army officer "because is hard life to live" is most likely.
The Israeli army also does this with Palestinian prisoners. Israel has the worlds largest skin bank for some reason.
In regards to the Palestinians/Israelis this appears to be a malicious lie. If you look into it you see weird claims like poisoning people to take their organs (this ruins the organs) and taking people from graveyards for the recently killed (you don't bury people and then come back for their shit) .
The allegations being a mix of unlikely claims and provable lies suggests there is no merit whatsoever to such claims.
Any source on this I could read?
It is difficult to prove non-existence. Do you have some reliable sources I can read that show this behavior? Sources who preferably don't make weird assertions or constantly spout provable lies in other respects? It doesn't count if its a reliable source that is merely reporting "unreliable source says ___"
As an example if the Washington Post reported that $KNOWN_CRANK says 'aliens are among us' the Washington Post is taking ownership of the fact that $KNOWN_CRANK said not not the veracity of the crazy claim which is left to stand or fall entirely on the credibility of $KNOWN_CRANK.
You know what, I'm pretty sure we're going to hear some bullshit about "eastern worldview vs western world view" when it's really just violent nationalism.
The Haruspex is at it again!
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
