      Unless they come across a child wearing a hoodie and they happen to have dark skin. Then suddenly they feel frightened about their safety.

    Can you please dont repost russian propaganda??? This looks like russian PMCs in Mali, posting for a photo op. By using it as a meme Template u further “russia strong” narrative.

    If i should be wrong with my assumptions please let me know.

          Yep, mercenaries being recruited into a civil war against ISIS is totally the same as a genocide in a concentration camp.

          You want nuance? The actions of Russian Mercenaries in Mali are the results of soldiers being in a war, they are there by the choice of the highly popular military junta they’re not an invading force they’re there to help with destroying ISIS, and when you give a bunch of idiots guns and put them somewhere far from home they’re going to kill innocent people at some point, but I don’t trust a single bit of reporting from western media on this, the same media that was hiding the crimes of western armies in Iraq and Mali itself suddenly caring about innocent civilians, and unlike France the U.S. Russia wasn’t part of the Safari club and wasn’t the one funding the Afghanistan terrorists in the 80s.

          You talk about nuance, that not every person killed is an ISIS member, well maybe by your logic not all the mercenaries fighting ISIS happen to be war criminals?

      Our local grocery store now has signs on the door warning people that long guns are not allowed on the property. All because some asshole carried a shot gun in one of their branches in Texas.

      I thought it was making fun of American meat heads who carry guns everywhere when they really don’t need to be caring guns to mundane places.
