They leave Ukraine no choice but to release the people who talk at the theatre.

Followed by a regiment of the people who only engage their turn signals after they've come to a complete stop and are already initiating their turn.

Imagine being in this guy’s regiment.

‘Hello comrade, what brings you to us?’

‘Nothing much, murdered a few people. Ate someone, you know.’

Why does that sound so familiar to me?

Was that or something very similar said in a TV show at some point?

I don’t think so, I thought I just made it up unless I subconsciously copied it by accident.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think it triggered my memory of Jake's cellmate in Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Who is a cannibal and very blasée about it.

'Vell you know. Ve arrre alrrready murrrderrr the people. Ve don't have enough rrrations, so, many of us have alrrready eat the people. Welcome to front line comrade'

Why would you release a guy that killed and ate Russians in an attempt to help Russians?

In my mind he just starts killing and eating people on frame one and to me this is quite funny.

The Russian mobilised from prisons are trucked to special units made up of criminals who are sent straight to the front line to die in human wave attacks.

These are small unarmored units with light weapons only. They are sent in waves consisting of many small groups of around six across a long area of frontline. They die in huge numbers and if they turn around and retreat they are killed by other Russians themselves, in what is known as 'blocking units'.

The entire point of their deaths is to spread Ukrainian soldiers and widely as possible and to constantly test the Ukrianian fortification for weakness.

If they find any, bigger infantry units are sent with support from a light armored vehicle with heavier weapons.

This tactic also applies to other people Russia considers disposable. Ethnic minorities such as Buryats, or poor people from rural villages.

It's like biological warfare, the wind change, this dude walks right back into Russia to grab a snack

The wind changes and the 3 officers assigned to him gun him down without thinking about it, from 10 yards off.

They arent putting convicts in with ordinary soldiers, they hand them a handgun and tell them to walk towards the enemy or get a bullet in the back.

Seems like it could be a solid, if terrible motivator.

Look at the amount of ground you’re expected to take, then look at the meagre rations being provided. A cannibal in your midst may change your calculations on how far you’re willing to stretch those rations. It would certainly light a fire under my ass.

They better get him a fake identity or he will get friendly fired before he ever sees a Ukrainian.
