      Usually dogs and cats are just there. Hungry and lonely, abandoned by their owners or having no alive owners. Between feeding and not feeding such pets soldiers choose the first one. And the pets start living with the soldiers. Then the soldiers make photos of their new pets. So, it’s not propaganda.

      And there’s an important correction: animals are victims of what Russians are doing.

          You would think if I was trying to make a propaganda campaign out of something I wouldn’t have freely admitted to finding them in my ‘Ukrainian War’ folder, and would have more than three to share. But have it your way - useful idiots always do.

        iT’s jUsT a CaT pIc, GuY.

        edit: If it was a picture of a cat with a Russian soldier, something tells me your attitude would be very different. I support kicking out the invaders, but propaganda playing with emotions doesn’t sit well with me.

          As long as it damages any Russian efforts to justify their unilateral genocide… Bring on the cat pics.

              Most people feel before they think. The fact you didn’t consider that leads me to conclude your definition of “reasonable” is flawed.

                  You are naive and inflexible. That is unreasonable.

                  Also that’s not the definition of reasonable. So you are inexact as well. Bad combination.

                  Well that excludes you. You are incapable of understanding that these pictures help the animals and harm the ruzzian orcs. Instead you have filled this thread with your implicit approval of the orcs.

                  Stop being a hypocrite. Be a better human.

          “Organized propaganda campaign”

          My guy hanging with animals, pets or former strays, is what bored soldiers do, all the way back to antiquity. Or at least is one of the more family-friendly things bored soldiers do.
