Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has raised the alarm over Russia’s escalating “human safari” tactics targeting the civilian population in southern Ukraine’s Kherson region. “The situation is especially difficult in Kherson, where the Russians are conducting a safari against people,” the Ukrainian leader stated on May 12 in his daily video address. “Defenses must be significantly strengthened with more interceptors, more electronic jamming systems, and more gun crews operating in the city.”
Yup: it’s open season on people going to buy some bread or kids playing football in Gaza/Palestine/Lebanon and Ukraine and trump’s fucking odious government is fist deep in it.
It legitimately raises the question of whether or not this has been happening in Gaza. There have been reports that during the Bosnian war in the 90s, oligarchs from other countries paid for guided chances to shoot people for sport as well.
Recent publications, such as Croatian journalist Domagoj Margetic’s book "Pay and Shoot", allege that these "war tourists" were flown in and competed for targets, with higher prices allegedly set for killing women and children.
And from BBC: “Public prosecutors in Milan, Italy, opened an investigation into claims that Italian citizens traveled to Bosnia during the war to participate in these hunts, acting on complaints and evidence compiled by journalists and investigators.”

Unfortunately, this is the typical despicable behavior that the world has come to expect from the U.S. president’s friends.
The USA: voting to give up being the single most powerful superpower ever, simply to become “great again.”

Oh yeah. I’m inclined to believe these accounts
Recent publications, such as Croatian journalist Domagoj Margetic’s book "Pay and Shoot", allege that these "war tourists" were flown in and competed for targets, with higher prices allegedly set for killing women and children.
And from BBC: “Public prosecutors in Milan, Italy, opened an investigation into claims that Italian citizens traveled to Bosnia during the war to participate in these hunts, acting on complaints and evidence compiled by journalists and investigators.”
