    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Immigrants in the US won’t serve in the military for citizenship!

    This pathway was closed by Trump.

    I wanted to serve in the military to earn my citizenship, that way the local can’t say I didn’t earn it.

    Gimme one of them non-combat roles though, I don’t want any of that war business. Which is all pointless because the second a Russian asks him “what role did you serve in the military?” He’d simply reply “huh, can you speak English?” I also love the idea of him believing he’d be a correspondent despite being unable to speak Russian. Im sure his wife and daughters will enjoy their time in Russia when his military career blossoms.

      where does it say he complains about language and won’t learn it? he’s been there for like a few months, learning a language takes time (especially if you’re dumb as this guy)

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

        Once I was in a country where people spoke multiple languages. One of them was English another was Spanish. I can speak Spanish, but I’m better in English.

        My friend and I went into a shop and spoke in English as most people in the city could. He just yelled at us and told us that we have to leave if we speak English.

        It was weird, because, like I said, most people speak English there and he wasn’t incapable of speaking English or even ask us to speak another language.

        We decided to leave and then he changed his tone completely and said English is OK.

        It was so weird of him to pick a fight about that. Over Oreos.

        That’s not an American specialty. Our German right wing shitheads are migrating to South American countries for example without speaking a word Spanish and without even wanting to integrate there because of all the not well integrated migrants here. Nazis in all their forms tend to be not the smartest tools in the shed.

    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.

        I didn’t read anything about “refusing” to learn. They said they moved there in March 2025, less than 5 months ago. And that they are “embracing a new language and culture”. there’s a “language barrier” which makes sense since he’s only been learning for a short time.

        the facts are sufficient for criticism that no fabrications are necessary.
