U.S. rightwinger who fled the Gay is now going to Ukraine front lines

You know what Nelson would say about this situation.

Oh, the sweet taste of Schadenfreude... the sweetest of all Freuden.

I only feel bad for that family's dog who they dragged over with them to Russia.

Russians are such garbage.

Couldn’t he just have moved to a red state?

Idiots to the core

The wife is, apparently, a recovering alcoholic who started hitting the bottle again once the idiot hubby got conscripted.

What else is there to do in Russia r8?

He's fug - get rid of him.

IDGAF about him - his stupid Texan ass can get killed.

However - what's sad is how all this propaganda by Republicans and the right-wing are actually destroying lives and killing people - including their own supporters.

How many Republicans/MAGAs were on their deathbed in hospitals regretting not getting the vaccine? Hundreds of thousands.

And yet - there still going in. Because to think for a second that Dems may be right and they might be wrong is to accept defeat and that they were duped.

He's going to be fighting along side imported Chinese military and conscripted Russians they let out of prison they let out if they serve on the front lines. Not the Russia, Russia, Russia he thinks he's a part of.

Yes, I agree, the schadenfreude here is like the most delectable of sweetmeats

He looks like a potato faced peasant so he should fit right in.

R5, apparently he’s from Texas.

R14 = Babs Bush

Out of Texas and into the clusterfuck

These dumb as dirt cunts wouldn't have the sense to pour piss out of a boot, but they think their (begged for) Christian prayers will continue to guide them wisely on their path.

If the US is going to abandon due process altogether, they might stop idiots like these at US border controls and ship them to Ecuadorian jails. If it has to be someone...

Out of one clusterfuck and into another, R17.

Hello, I am from Ukrainian media. I am seeking this American out for comment. No I am not FPV kamikaze drone. This is microphone.

Fuck him. Reading the article, he's a detestable asshole. Smears immigrants to the US while openly admitting he migrated to Russia yet doesn't speak Russian, and remarks that his Russian military so-called "training" was conducted in Russian.

I can't wait to delight in the forthcoming news about his imminent horrific fate at the hands of Ukrainian soldiers, brought about by his tremendous bigotry and stupidity.

May every other xenophobic, homophobic, misogynist bigot in rural flyover America follow his lead and do so immediately. This is the only way they can make America great again.

[QUOTE]once the idiot hubby got conscripted.

No. He volunteered.

At least the three sons opted to stay in Texas. I wonder if the three girls were given a choice. Now they're doomed to taking cared of relapsed mom and lives with Russian alcoholics who'll slap them around once they leave the parents' cramped apartment.

R21, I agree with the overall sentiment, but most of them aren’t as stupid or dedicated to the cause as he is.

Did he see the odd drag queen in Dallas? Jesus. Why would you do this to your family? He and the wife know Russia is at war right now and the casualty figures are high.

Thank God, only two families took them up on their pathetic offer. That was a hard read.

I just forwarded the article to a friend of mine and asked them, a theology professor, if it isn’t such a bad thing for the father to not come back so the daughters could come back to America and not have to marry Russian brutes.

He has yet to get back to me lol

R25, I could see asking a Reform rabbi the same question, and him sequestering himself away for a month to consider it

Sorry meant r24

R24, do you have more than one theology professor friend?

They’re building a whole city for these duds. I call them MAGA meat shields!

Yes, r27. I live in a college town and we go to an Episcopal Church.

The first one is an actual friend though. Someone who I could joke about something like that with, and they wouldn’t cut me off.

I wish many many more like him would move there too, to be expendables in Putin's war.

[quote] Having been told he would serve in the rear,

I thought he was trying avoid the gay.

Ha! Nice

Ha! What a maroon!

He’s fighting against ‘Murica

R35 = R6

Nope, r36. I just put a pic to go along with it.

Well the good thing is his wife and kids are learning how to pull out their own teach instead of a trip to the dentist.

I guess this means she won't have money for booze in her relapse, so that's a silver lining

Imagine being required to fund your march to an almost certain death.

[QUOTE]The deployment also created financial strain for the family. Derek and his unit members were reportedly required to “donate” 10,000 rubles for their own supplies, consuming a substantial portion of his paycheck. DeAnna reported receiving no pay or bonus after one month of Derek’s service.

The guy at r38 is so very cute.

That’s not a huge financial burden, r39. One ruble is currently worth less than one U.S. penny. Here’s hoping he gets turned into human purée by a Ukrainian drone. Hopefully the wife pulls an Andrea Yates and the whole family goes down with the ship.

Don't you lose your US citizenship if you join another country's military? If he survives and tries to come back with the wife and girls, ICE can detain, put into Alligator Alcatraz or send them to El Salvador!

They call the Russian front The Meat Grinder. How's that for motivation.

My Dad said that about WWII

He joined the army because it was some kind of fast track to citizenship. Then he thought he’d be selected for some kind of special role due to his self perceived experience in…something. But no, straight to the front.

R12 NK is much closer to Russia than China. China would love to dump Russia. The Chinese mercs aren’t PLA.

Here he is in his own words explaining why he joined the Russian Army and why he believes in the Russian fight against Ukraine.

Timemark 7:14 - Reason why he joined up with the Russkies.

Timemark 8:50 - He believes in the Russian cause and thinks Ukraine is full of Nazis.

Timemark 10:30 - He prayed about it, and God told him to go fight for Russia.

He said all of this about a month ago, right before he was sent to the front lines.

*Shrug

[Quote] I thought he was trying avoid the gay.

I was wondering when someone would play with that!

[quote] He believes in the Russian cause and thinks Ukraine is full of Nazis.

I thought he liked Nazis. These mentally feeble MAGA Christoholics are full of internal contradictions.

His namesake.

Mother Russia needs cannon fodder more than welders; to the front with you!

Sweet karma.

I was reading some of the Reddit threads about him and someone posted that they knew him. Said he was so racist that he would get banned from online gun forums. Who knew you could be too racist for gun forums?

Right! And hello, you're a Nazi

OP has upset someone. All crossed-out.

[quote]r54 = Said he was so racist that he would get banned from online gun forums.

Nooo...

Whoo boy, just looked up a couple of her earlier videos—most recent one says hubby is coming home soon. He’s enlisted for a year so I guess he is on leave. Anyway, back in US, she was an alcoholic. She quit drinking nearly three years ago after having her gall bladder removed (!) but recently had a beer or maybe it was a non-alcoholic beer, wasn’t paying close attention. Small village, home schooling the kids, husband at the front lines, income seems to be from monetizing the YouTube channel…I think she’s trying to convince herself this was a good idea.

He sort of has gay face, no?

Make yourself comfortable in that mafuckin bed you so methodically made.

I don't want to give them any more click$ on YouTube.

Luckily Russia has never been known for its alcohol consumption, r58.

MAGA Dad Moves Family to Russia… Instantly REGRETS IT

Is he dead yet?

Когда Дерек снова вернётся домой...

Derek?

[quote] Derek?

That's his name, r65.

Okay. Forgot the trres for the forest. Thanks.

When Derek comes marching home again...

Hurrah

His wife’s mother is flying in for a visit soon. I thought all that stuff was cancelled, flights, visas due to sanctions.

Several countries still have flights to Russia. Serbia and Turkey stand out in my mind. I'm sure some Middle Eastern countries, too. MiL would just need to connect through one of them.

Then MIL has to try getting back into the United States. Better hope she has no criminal record and doesn’t get a cunty immigration official who questions why she was in the Middle East and Russia.
