• Complaining migrants do not integrate
• Is a migrant, who doesn't speak the language, himself
• Complaining, they don't speak USian with him
• Joins the aggressor's military during war time, complains he has to go to war.

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.

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.

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.

after a month of service, her family had yet to receive any pay.

Not so well, then?

Look how far someone will go to ignore that fact that he wants to kiss a man on the lips

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.

What a shocker. This is like the handful of Western teenage girls who went to Afghanistan to try and be good Muslims, then discovered that meant being married off to some Islamic State soldier twice their age. Like what the fuck did you think was going to happen?

Do we have a nomination for this year's Darwin Award?

Putin: lol front line for you.

Derek Huffman: Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

The Leopards are already so full, you can't keep feeding them like this.

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.

Imagine fleeing "Western brainwashing" only to end up in a trench with five dudes and a ration pack, wondering if this is what true freedom smells like.

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.

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.

Darwin thanks you for you service. Watch out for them drones!

I guess he wanted to remain in a dictatorship, seems a sort of odd destination to me, pretty much guaranteed to be miserable even if he wasn't dumped into a combat, he could have gone to Cuba or something.

Let’s all shed some crocodile tears for this guy.

Man, I feel so owned right now.

Stop shoving yourself down that leopard's throat.

This guy is the current definition of the Americanism "dumbass".

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.

He must love the smell of other sweaty guys.

If you can't speak Russian, you have no business in Russia. Very few of the people there can speak English at the level you would need to get by. And he actually believed he could join their military as a non-combatant foreigner during wartime? What a dumbass.
