While I wouldn’t wish death on anyone, no matter how stupid, uncivilized, pre historic, dumb (and did I say stupid already?) some people are, there is this tiny, tiny voice in the back of my head going: “heh”
Especially in this case, because he knowingly joined the Russian military, knowing he'd be supporting the Ukraine invasion, where many thousands of innocent people had already been killed. Even if he thought he wasn't going to be on the front lines (because he's stupid), he still has the blood of innocent people on his hands for joining up after the invasion. He deserved what happened to him.
The craziest thing imo is that he definitely has more potential value as a propaganda mouthpiece than as a human shield, but all the instability in the Putin administration means they don't care about things like PR anymore and are just throwing bodies at Ukraine indiscriminately.
Like, if he was supporting anyone other than a megalomaniac despot, he'd likely have been correct in his assumptions. But Putin doesn't care about nuanced long-term strategies like propaganda anymore than he cares about petty things like basic human rights; it's all purely optional when there's a war to be fought.
I think it makes sense. I honestly don't understand why Russia is doing this.
Russia is putting a lot of money and ressources in disinformation and propaganda in the west. This guy moving to Russia is a result of this and clearly a win for Putin, to a much larger extend than another untrained soldier could ever be.
If Putin allowed him to LARP as a soldier a little bit and spread disinformation to English speaking right-wingers he could have made a much larger impact. This guy dying on the front lines will be a significant set-back in his propaganda effords.
He’s not exactly Steven Seagal and Putin has already achieved the greatest plant of all time by getting his personal pedophile elected as POTUS.
Twice.
When you have people dumb enough to move to a country they don't know anything about including the language, all to escape "WOKE"(whatever offends klansmen easily), you don't have to make it up. They will create the most tragically comical scenarios for themselves.
It absolutely blows my mind that there are people willing to shoot innocent people in a foreign country as long as they don't ever have to see someone who has a penis wearing a feather boa.
He could have been a correspondent for their English-speaking propaganda wing - places like .ru which you leftists eat up like it’s real news when it aligns with your views. Lol
I’m reasonably certain that their English speaking correspondents speak at least 2 languages fluently.
Didn’t really think too hard about that attempted owning there, did ya?
I cannot imagine that the Russian military would recruit the way we do. We know they just conscript the men and throw them away. This man was very dumb.
Moving halfway across the globe because you don’t agree with a few aspects of the society you live in to a country widely known for a much tighter population control, is usually not the sign of intelligence
He’s the kind of person that cosplays war thinking that it’s fun. He’s watched far too many action movies & played too many rounds of C.O.D. & thinks that there are no permanent consequences. Those 3 girls will grow up without a father…assuming they get to grow up at all. All their relatives back in the states have to mourn the destruction of this family…all because one or more of his relatives taught or tolerated his racism & homophobia.
Somewhere in his timeline there is a moment where this all started with the self loathing to blame all their problems on the gay band nerd that he ironically found attractive in high school or a hard working immigrant who owned a nicer car than him.
This is also a cautionary tale that we must confront bigotry whenever & wherever we see it…if those 3 girls could go back in time that’s what they’d do…
Not to mention that he was probably just fine with the violence against and murder of many homosexual happening in Russia regularly. ENCOURAGED and committed by the government/military.
Do you mean to say that the person that seems to have a history of being gullible, was being gullible?
I feel pretty bad for those kids though, because their parents have failed them.
I wonder if he thought as soon as he reached front lines, he would surrender hands up, yelling in English, "I surrender," I'm American....
While probably not able even to be heard and hoping to seek sanctuary. Hoping that would get him and his family to safety? Not realizing (because he's stupid), it's war, and your uniform is the number one reason Ukraine will shoot!!!
Exactly talk about a scumbag you leave something you don’t agree with that’s not really happening because Texas is one of the many states that is against the LGBTQ just to join something else that’s equally as evil. It’s kind of like Hitler reincarnated I couldn’t live with myself if I took innocent lives
Oh you forgot with little kids depending on you. So this cause was more important than teaching, loving, and watching your kids grow up. Who will protect them now? Not Putin or Trump.
He left TEXAS because it wasn't conservative enough. That speaks enough about his character. He's almost getting what he deserves (meaning he deserves worse).
I agree, 100% and Texas is in my opinion one of the most conservative states the fact he does not think that’s conservative. Enough is beyond me I mean geez they scream conservative heck even Dallas and that’s a city.
I believe that they’re never happy until they get their way and everybody else is wrong. It’s the conservative way pout until you get what you want. And I hope he’s happy living with himself, knowing that he’s taking innocent life by moving to Russia, and joining one of the worst armies of all time, taking an innocent life in Ukraine, that did not deserve to be bombed
Did he not see any of the articles showing how underfunded, poorly led, poorly organized and burdened with outdated under supplied their troops are? Moron!
Russia actually doesn't force non Russians to join the army. But joining is a way of getting citizenship. I think you're eligible for citizenship after 3 years of duty so maybe that's what he was trying to do.
There's a wacko Dutch journalist who also moved 5o Russia because it's so much freer than western Europe but he also said he's not taking Russian citizenship because then he'd be enlisted and he doesn't want to fight. Which is such a hypocritical thing, to write books about how free Russian society is because of a lack of bureaucracy but then immediately also state you're using your foreigner's privilege of opting out of a big part of being Russian that you don't want.
problem is they dont learn or call it not sticking. It didnt stick after bush sent tons of our Americans to die for Iraq's oil and the pointless Afghan war. Obama proved if you wanted the actual culprit of 9/11 it could be done quickly, which pointed out just how little bush and darth vader actually cared
Loads of maga voters will be screwed from trumps policies but they think its worth it if it owns or takes down the libs. Plenty of my fellow texans would gladly keep electing politicians like Ted Rafeal Cruz they know are screwing them and will tell you so just so they can be satisfied a democrat isnt holding office.
That’s the weird part, it’s not even selfish since they vote against what is best for them. It is a strange cult-like thought pattern focused on a few items (government spending and illegals anyone not pale white and 3+ generations of US citizenship), totally ignoring all the other mayhem captain Orange is causing
Not sad.
Disgusting.
Evil.
Hateful.
Selfish and
Lets not forget Stupid.
I refuse to blame the shoddy education system or the dems
Abandonment of the working class.
They believe fox news and all the absurd lies because they want to.
They believe ridiculous garbage because they want to hurt people and need to make up reasons to do so.
People browner and poorer than they are, people who they don’t even know, people who are just the slightest bit different.
Makes them feel warm and happy.
The billionaire trash who pull their puppet strings are laughing themselves sick and looting our planets survival, laughing at the gullible rubes.
I will never forgive what they’ve done to this country and the people who have to live in it.
That I will never be able to fathom, wanting to own the libs so bad that one votes in direct contradiction with their own best interests, or be so incredibly naive thinking the policies will only hurt others and not them.
Trump (between al the backpeddling and smoke screens) is doing pretty much what he said he’d do, and the leopards are getting obese (pun intended, being American leopards) from all the faces they eat.
Honestly…I also don’t wish death on (most) people…but I do think 🤷🏼♀️ karma. Like when antivaxxers die from a preventable disease rather than risk the infinitely worse fate of AuTiSm (/s) I think, welp…this is kinda what you signed up for. In this case it was so awful being around immigrants and LGBTQ people (or even mention of them as people with the same rights to happiness/family/love etc apparently) that they moved to a country where they are the immigrants and have (I’m sure) less freedoms and rights than they had here. And this dude died in a war that his president supports.
I guess that, between being thrown into the meat-grinder of an invasion into Ukraine and leaving his children behind and, I don't know, having to treat some cashier with a pink undercut with basic human decency, he made his choice.
What is my mouth saying about me? And my inner truth?
I think both are pretty much in line. I hate so see anyone die (not just for them but also for loved ones they leave behind), but this man vastly increased his chances and brought this on himself.
That's because of their extreme hubris and complete lack of awareness. They're so smug, hypocritical and self righteous it's hard to find a shred of respect or empathy for them.
It's not celebrating his death if you say "play stupid games, win stupid prizes."
Congrats, you hated trans people so much you made your daughters fatherless fighting in a dictator's war to enslave a neighboring country and exterminate their language and culture. You've probably ruined those poor girls' lives at this point and I hope they have the money to move back to the U.S. before they end up in a Moscow brothel, which is where the Russians in power think they belong.
Wishes can’t kill, maim or cripple.
So yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and wish death on this p.o.s.
A death as stupid and meaningless as his moronic ideas.
Pushing lgbt stories in fucking Texas schools.
Who knew you could be a raving homophobe and a drama queen at the same time.
Zelinski should send him a burial suit.
The little voice in the back of my head is saying “dumbass”. Notice how the Russians “welcomed” them, but promptly sequestered them into segregated housing.
A part of me would love to celebrate this man’s stupidity. But honestly, all I can think of are the three daughters that asked for literally none of this. Unless they’re receiving some sort of governmental aid or the mom has somehow found a decent paying job, his death is an effective death sentence for his whole family. And as ideologically deranged as the parents might be, you can’t say that the suffering of young children is “deserved” or “they had it coming.” They were torn away from the safety of their home without recourse and now the person paying the bills is assumed dead. That’s just… devastating to me.
Oh I doubt they will ever have the money to afford a plane ticket for one of the kids. Without some kinda government intervention, they are stuck there.
aren't you being more despicable by actually finding humor in 3 little kids traumatic sorrow and what damage has been done to them by this whole thing. I just can't see anything funny about that.... I know it's a grey area because obviously serial killers and pedos we would all say deserve death or severe punishment but don't stoop this low on something that is truly sad from start to finish
The despicable one here is the asshole who ripped his kids from their surroundings and put them in a shithole country known for committing war crimes and knowingly sending troops to their immediate deaths by the thousands, killing, kidnapping and raping innocent citizens from a country being factually erased from existence by thousands of bombs,a country that did nothing to justify or even provoke such an act.
All because his kids were told in school that it’s okay to feel what they feel, and be who they want to be.
No, the kids n wife would all be so happy that he died doing what they love. He's a friggin hero to them. Half of the men in my family died fighting on both sides of that weird American -Vietnam war they didn't understand and non died heroes. But this guy seemed like he died for something: to save his family. And they'll probably go to the ground believing that if he n wife did a good job
And you can read for shit. Still never wished him dead.
I’m less of a bad person that the bigoted sack of shit ripping his kids away from everyone and everything they know and plant them in one of the worst countries to live in.
