This reminds me of one of the early scenes in the movie "Enemy at the Gates", when Red Army commissars were shooting retreating soldiers. Now that's what I call motivation! It seems the borderlands didn't fall far from the motherland, eh tovarishchi?
But hang on, Vlod better not be intimating that the Soviets were the good guys. That's a summary capital offense!
Historically turncoats were always treated without remorse. It was society's biggest taboo up until after WW2. Then they granted conscientious rejectors rights. Because more and more minorities refused. Despite the draft. It kept society honest. It created heroes.
But in a situation like this. It is terrible form. It sooner plays into narratives of opposing war crimes. Despite them being perpetuated here, effectively. Death or death. How low can he go. These people's shared a culture, until he came along. I also understand the past valor and a national cause. There's no retreat. But many want to survive. What I don't understand are the human shields he is using and then holding hostages and demanding ransoms, for an otherwise lost cause, war, there are only Victors.

"OMG is like the movies"
Learn some actual history, although tbf that's often fake too
So instead of informing us with your knowledge of actual history you decided to shitpost. Great job, thanks for contributing.
Just like Seinfeld
1000s of British soldiers were put before firing squads in WW1 for cowardice.
