“I asked why he was laughing and I was told that he was pro-Russian, wanted Russia to win the war.”
Not surprised at all.
I think some ICE goons should be deported to Russia, let's see how they like being conscripted when they get there.
Every single story I read about US Americans moving to Russia because they think Russia is so much better is always a hilarious read. I particularly liked the black woman who thought there wasn’t racism in Russia. 🤣🤣🤣
Just to be clear, Edward Snowden leaked classified info to US journalists, and fled the country, he tried going elsewhere, but US took his passport and Russia accepted him staying. And he choose to flee after watching Obama's war on whistleblowers, and how some are still in prison for the first amendment in US constitution. Some even faced what many consider to be torture.
That was a wild ride. Snowden was stateless after his passport was revoked and Russia accepted him in transit to another country.
He wanted to go to Ecuador first, but his passport was revoked while he was in Russia, where he stopped on his flight from Hong Kong. He's still in Russia, openly speaking on Twitter all the time.
You do realize that Snowden is a pawn in Putin's hands. It was the reason why he was taken in. He would be exchanged in a heartbeat if it meant removal of sanctions or return of some frozen assets. Snowden isn't stupid and knows this very well himself (he didn't have a choice).
Holy shit, that's not just putting your face in the leopards mouth that's crawling into it's stomach as hard as you can.
After pre-masticating your own face for it.
it also doesn't make sense.
"I want russia to win the war,that's why I'm sending reinforcements to ukraine"
They're not thinking that far ahead and likely give zero shits either way.
I bet they chose to tell this guy they support Russia just to make arresting this guy more abusive.
Russiaboos think that no amount of bodies or western equipment is actually hurting Russia, only delaying the inevitable complete capitulation. He's happy he gets to, in his eyes, send a Ukrainian to die pointlessly.
They want immigrants out more. You know take care of byour own house first.
I hate these fucking fascists.
Trumps goons are pro Russia? That surprises no one.
I bet Putin has video of Trump banging a guy ... thus explaining his pro Russia stance.
American conservatism has an ideological bromance with Russia.
Seems more likely they're business partners in a criminal empire that includes child sex-trafficking, likely using DONT's "modeling" agencies to move or entrap victims
no other explanation needed, ICE ARE NAZIS. you dont laugh at a war torn family/father unless a your pure unadulterated evil Nazi
Important to remember that ICE is and has always been a bipartisan enterprise, and in fact, go look up who first appointed Tom Homan.
All the violations of liberty and building of the surveillance state have been bipartisan.
The division is not liberal vs conservative, but rather capitalist vs worker.
If america ever has a brief moment of intelligence. And asks itself if we are the bad guy. Ya. You are. And it's not a new thing. You have been the bad guy a long time. Things like this is just a small symptom. The internal rot is now showing through the propaganda and flag you have been trying to cover it with.
Talking about America or any country as a single organism with just one train of thought is unproductive.
I am not really supprised that fascist ICE agents are on the russian side of things. Just like their dear lord Trump.
To fellow Ukrainians who haven't realized this yet: migrants are not "they", it's our friends and family, and making any migration means-tested and bureaucratic is bullshit that will make "illegals" out of random people, out of you, and cause great suffering. Let's build international solidarity with migrants and refugees from all countries, in all countries.
How many stories like this do we need to get through to the people who say "just obey the law and you have nothing to worry about"?
"Were not against immigration, just illegal immigration"
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
