Yup, in particular, send them home in body bags or on stretchers. Dead is a terrible enough thing to me - permanent as it is. They can all suffer the drumbeat of unending artillery pounding their positions, drones, missiles an air strikes taking out their armor and leveling their FOBs. No quarter given till they surrender.
I hope terrible things happen to these Russian Troops.
A bee sting can be trouble, for some big trouble.

The last time I was stung by a bee was about 25 years ago when I stepped on one barefoot and my whole foot and lower leg swelled up - I don't carry around an epipen or anything like that but I am somewhat nervous as to what would happen if I were stung again or stung multiple times.A bee sting can be trouble, for some big trouble.
I was stung by a bee for the first time in 50+ years a few weeks ago, was skating a street and the bug got stuck at the collar of my T-shirt and stung me before I knew what was happening. I finished my skate (was almost done anyway), in pain, pulled out the stinger. Had a welt that got bigger for a day or two, itched and hurt a LOT! I used hydrocortisone cream and Loratadine antihistamine. Was mostly OK after a week. A few of those bites for someone sensitive to the venom could kill! I never had that bad a reaction to a bee sting before.
And now Russian state-controlled media explicitly lays out argument and step-by-step plan for genocide of 44 million Ukrainians ~ it is hard to accept why we should be allowing any business or trade to occur with such a state.Weird how so many countries around Russia align for mutual defense when this kind of stuff keeps happening decade after decade.

active Nazis should be exemplarily and
exponentially punished. There must be a total
lustration. Any organizations that have
associated themselves with the practice of Nazism
have been liquidated and banned. However, in
addition to the top, a significant part of the
masses, which are passive Nazis, accomplices
of Nazism, are also guilty. They
supported and indulged Nazi power. The just
punishment of this part of the population is possible
only as bearing the inevitable hardships of
a just war against the Nazi system, waged as
carefully and prudently as possible in
relation to civilians. Further denazification
of this mass of the population consists
in re-education, which is achieved by
ideological repression (suppression) of Nazi
attitudes and strict censorship: not only in
the political sphere, but also necessarily in
the sphere of culture and education. It was
through culture and education that a deep mass
nazification of the population was prepared and
carried out, secured by the promise of dividends
from the victory of the Nazi regime over
Russia, Nazi propaganda, internal violence and
terror, as well as an eight-year war with
the people who rebelled against Ukrainian Nazism.

I hope US media screw up the courage to run such stories here. It was heartbreaking to watch - but also imperative to do so.TV media going into the former occupied areas outside Kyiv and the stories are tough.
I wonder what the thinking behind that article was - they had to know that would play VERY poorly internationally and undermine their diplomatic efforts. They are going before the UN today to claim those people killed near Kiev weren't killed by Russia so it's a bit awkward to say that while your state media is calling for the mass slaughter of Ukrainians.And now Russian state-controlled media explicitly lays out argument and step-by-step plan for genocide of 44 million Ukrainians ~ it is hard to accept why we should be allowing any business or trade to occur with such a state.

So, is this for internal consumption and they don't care about the international response? Did some guy go off the reservation and publish this contrary to the government's wishes? I don't get it.
RIA is fully owned and operated by the Russian Federal government, and is focused on the domestic audience. This was designed for domestic consumption.

And in case Ukraine needed any additional motivation to resist I imagine Russia's stated desire to kill them all would do it.I think it's not likely such a screed could make it into a state mouth piece without high up authorization. It also closely echos Putin "Ukraine is not a real place or people" speech he gave at the outset. Given what we are seeing in Ukraine I think we need to take this set of aims at face value.
It is certainly counterproductive on a diplomatic and military front since Ukraine will be less inclined to make compromises and nations with arms will be even more inclined to supply them to Ukraine.
Lithuania has been very much in the lead on supporting Ukraine, off of Russian gas, providing very disproportionate (per-capita) support, and now cutting diplomatic ties:

I go nowhere barefoot anymore.The last time I was stung by a bee was about 25 years ago when I stepped on one barefoot and my whole foot and lower leg swelled up - I don't carry around an epipen or anything like that but I am somewhat nervous as to what would happen if I were stung again or stung multiple times.

Honestly, just ignore this shit. SOP for Russia for a hundred years.Vhut us? No, no, vhe don' do ......
Russia claims it did not massacre civilians in Ukraine, citing conspiracy theories that evidence was manipulated or filmed with crisis actors
Business Insider|21 minutes ago
Russia is following a familiar playbook, promoting conspiracy theories and disinformation in denying its behind atrocities in Bucha, Ukraine.
Maybe Alex can get a gig there.
I think it's time for a guerrilla underground to form in Russia, saboteurs. Their arch nemesis would be, I suppose, the KGB, the elaborate security apparatus Putin's assembled. However, events, scattered and continuing disruptions of business as usual in Russia although ignored in the state controlled media (I am sure they would be) would be felt and known anyway. This and that would suddenly be disrupted, lights would go out, water wouldn't flow, your market would shut down for a while, factories would blow up or burn down, trains would be delayed and stop running for a few days... the possibilities are endless, and the Russian populace would sense that they have a terrorist underground. State media would spin it, if they had to, as the west, but Russians would know better. It wouldn't even be necessary for the underground to be organized. Cells can be subverted, i.e. that government security, the Russian analog of the US FBI. However, anyone who feels a need to poke the uber corrupt Russian establishment can and should do what they can, and many are in a position to do that. Just about anyone can be a thorn in the side in some way. This ethos, and the actions it spurs, if carried out long enough, could escalate even exponentially and would lead to the collapse of the regime. Mass protests can be dealt with brutally, people arrested, even shot. Sporadic and unpredictable seemingly spontaneous but disruptive events, enough of them, will lead to the downfall of the state.And now Russian state-controlled media explicitly lays out argument and step-by-step plan for genocide of 44 million Ukrainians ~ it is hard to accept why we should be allowing any business or trade to occur with such a state.
