Oh. Well that’s a… drag.

I’ll see myself out.

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?

May he have a very kamikazi drone find out

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.

• 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.

I love this for him!

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

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.

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?

Oh, no! Anyways!

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.

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.

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.

Fuck him

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

Putin: lol front line for you.

Derek Huffman: Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

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

Heh-heh.

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.

Stop shoving yourself down that leopard's throat.

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.

Dude should just have starting sucking all the cocks that he secretly wanted to suck

Now he can get indoctrinated by a UA drone. Outstanding move.

Man, I feel so owned right now.

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

He must love the smell of other sweaty guys.

Hey maybe he can pal up with Russell Bentley! Oh ..... right .... (reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Bentley ).
