I looked in Google and checked out the Washington Post's representation >
"Ukraine is scanning faces of dead Russians, then contacting the mothers"
In reaction to this, it seems there are Russians who are wanting revenge against Ukraine, while others are grateful they have been told the truth about their children.
Certain ones are claiming the pictures have been photo-shopped.
And there are Russian soldiers reported to have looted Ukrainian stores, and one even shipped or tried to ship stolen clothing back to his family in Russia, but he got shot . . . by a camera and then put through the facial recognition thing so he has been identified as a war criminal.
So, I see how not all Russians are alike. Not all see things the same way and not all are doing the same things.
One claim seems to be that Ukrainian officials want to make sure Russian people know what is really going on in Ukraine. It is reported that Vladimir Putin's gang has been telling the Russians that not many Russian soldiers are being killed and that Russia is doing well in Ukraine. And Ukraine is using photo recognition to get the real truth out.
But you can't control and often you can not predict how each individual will react.
It seems there are a lot more Russians who are reacting against Ukraine because of seeing photos of the dead soldiers. So, sending them photos could backfire, ones are saying. But even if they want revenge, they might not feel interested in getting more people killed, other Russians' sons killed, in order to get revenge . . . I suppose.
Right now, it seems, Russian leaders still are continuing the fight in Ukraine, while the Russian people may be more and more wise to what's really going on. So, I have to consider that certain leaders in control do not care about those Russian soldiers, and they could care less, really, about what any Russians or anyone else thinks, plus they even could care less about the economy.
This could be a test chess game, for them, so they can learn what are the capabilities of NATO and Ukraine. And may be they feel their lives with their lifestyles depend on maintaining the way they do things, so no one else takes over in Russia and gets rid of them, very likely by killing them. And it seems they have proven their word is no good, at all, for negotiating, since they gave their word that they would not invade Ukraine.
So . . . in my opinion . . . you totally destroy them, or wage a war of unconditional surrender, or resist them however you decide to invest. But predicting what will work . . . I don't think you can know what will or can control the Russian leaders, especially if they feel their staying alive and having the lives they want depends on doing this sort of thing.
They have been getting cornered more and more, maybe we could say. People brought down the USSR. And Russia has been sanctioned, more and more, since then. I see how that can be taken as being cornered, by ones in power in Russia. If you take a bone away from a dog and corner the dog . . . or the wolf or coyote . . . or a male lion . . . or a rat . . . I have been told this will get results.
And I have read how a wild leopard in a cage can react to anyone who gets close to the cage. One can reach out and swat your arm off.
So, now that ones possibly have cornered Russia, what do they have for a plan? What have ones been planning all along, maybe?
In any case, God has His plan which is more and better than any humans could think up, with His results of good, even now.
So, "look up", Jesus says, as we see this world's foolishness with guaranteed failure continue.
"'Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.'" (Luke 21:28)
