    Dude joins the Russian military to earn his place in Russian society and hopes to be seen as one of the Russians, is surprised that he gets treated like a Russian.

    Also dude complains about migrants in the US wanting free handouts, goes to Russia and then complains that he doesn’t get special treatment.

      This always makes me laugh when American and UK tourists go abroad and expect people to speak English. Integrate muthafuckas!

          Idiocracy has been far too prescient. I just hope we can survive long enough to get to the listening to the last remaining expert stage.

    He moved to a country that was actively waging a war of aggression, and joined the military expecting not to see combat. If it seems like something only a complete dumbass would do, that’s because it is.

      It’s worse, because this traitor dragged half his family into the war zone. I doubt they will live much longer.

    So, unfortunately, he feels like he’s being thrown to the wolves right now, and he’s kind of having to lean on faith, and that’s what we’re all doing.”

    Let’s us know how that works out for you.

    Not so well, then?

    dude if someone wrote this for a movie people would say it’s too on the nose.

    moving to another country to avoid “indoctrination” is exactly what a movie character would do as a metaphor for inner struggle.

    being sent to die for a fascistic country would be the metaphor for the idea that running away from your self by finding refuge in reactionary attitudes inevitably kills you inside.

    DeAnna, 42, suggested her husband had been misled during the military recruiting process.

    Surely not. Russian military recruiters have the same dedication to truth and honesty as US military recruiters.

    If you have to run from LGBT indoctrination then you are probably LGBT. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but if he had been honest with himself he might not die in a pointless war.

    Ukrainian officials estimated this week that more than 1 million Russian soldiers have died in the conflict

    I just wanna call this out as misinfo. Ukraine’s claimed numbers are casualties which includes killed and wounded. I don’t know if Ukraine has any claim for number killed, but estimates are around 300k, though the fact that Russia sends soldiers on crutches to the front lines, some of those might be double counted.

    The only thing useful this traitor’s life will amount to is watering a few sunflowers.

    Ukraine, sorry for letting our trash blow into your yard. This shouldn’t be your problem, but since it is, be safe while disposing of it.

    Makes you wonder if they acknowledge how bad they messed up. Or is this fine because they escaped the woke. I love the part in the article that says they followed some other influencer trying to get people to move, but was only able to get this family and 1 other to do it. A lot of dumb choices here, its amazing how they somehow feel like they were wronged when they had to do a lot of choices to get to this point.

      I’m sure the last thing to go through his head, other than a Ukrainian bullet, will be “at least I saved my family from being woke”.

      Pretty sad.
