This is how war criminals get rehabilitated

I don’t believe Medvedev’s ludicrous escape story. I ask why he surrendered in Norway (maybe took a plane or car there btw). I note he immediately has a lawyer and presumably a media agent. Now human rights lawyers are calling him courageous and believing his fairy tale?

Maybe he really is a Good Russian (TM) and a hero. Like that really good Nazi who joined the SS to save Jews. You know which one, I forget his name… Bach-Zelewski (Phil has a long post ready about him). A war criminal surrenders to a friendly not-hostile. Promises to spill the beans. Avoids mentioning his own crimes. Preferably mentions only crimes against (real) people like him, not his subhuman victims. Now he’s our Nazi. Maybe can write a memoir. Scum.

Why didn’t this bloke surrender to the Poles? Lithuanians? Ukrainians! Instead to the frankly naive comparatively Norwegians.

“Briefly arrested upon his arrival in Norway and then released, Medvedev has or will soon be questioned by both Norwegian immigration authorities and the criminal police (Kripos), which is taking part in an international inquiry into war crimes in Ukraine.”

THIS IS LUDICROUS. He should be in custody as a member of a war crime terrorist organisation.

According to the lawyer, the deserter was carrying several USB sticks on him during his escape to Norway.

HAVE THEY SEIZED THESE USBS? Possibly not, it’s Norway where property rights and privacy are more important than GENOCIDE AND WAR CRIMES? (apologies if they have, why do I doubt this)

I am not giving this scumbag any benefit of the doubt. Until proven otherwise, scumbag. Member of the Russian SS. Haven’t seen any evidence to the contrary apart from bland statements which seem only to relate to Wagner crimes on Wagner and the ludicrous escape story.

As to rehabilitating war criminals, SS Colonel Otto Von Braun owned my grandfather in the hell factories of Dora where grandpa built V2 rockets. My grandfather doesn’t have a space centre named after him. So I despise turn-coat members of criminal organizations.

You know my earlier piece:

The Paratrooper - I'm just a poor boy from a poor family

Westerners too often think that a Russian who is anti-Putin is a hero. The enemy of my enemy is my friend fallacy. They’re ‘the good Russians’. This is true for nationalist Navalny and was true for the ‘good Germans’ i.e. war criminal Slav hating lebensraum anti-Semite warriors

And my question:

I will publicly apologize if he provides help to the Ukrainians in prosecuting war crimes. Maybe I’m just a paranoid Russophobe Pole. Why can’t we just get along. Good people on both sides.

No grift button because I feel dirty enough.
