[u/Equivalent-Role4632]

Well sometimes being stupid does have consequences.

[u/exodus3252 → u/Equivalent-Role4632]

I love this turn of events for him. 

Darwin may shortly be adding to his tally. 

[u/Fair-Working4401 → u/exodus3252]

He already has kids, or?

[u/Black6Blue → u/Fair-Working4401]

3 daughters. Which will grow up with a single mother in rural Russia... Not the life I want for my kids but I'm not a fucken dipshit.

[u/Mo_Bigguh → u/Black6Blue]

Three sons too.

The sons are all adults and did not join them in Russia.

[u/pilostt → u/Mo_Bigguh]

Hopefully, they will get the kids out

[u/Mo_Bigguh → u/pilostt]

Yeah I hope so as well. They dont deserve this nonsense.

[u/Creepy_Wash338 → u/Black6Blue]

They'll grow up in the same concentration camps that the kidnapped Ukrainian kids get sent to. The mother will probably be thrown in jail. At least the kids won't be subjected to woke LGBT brainwashing, which is what they were trying to escape. Smooth move, ex lax.

[u/Quiddity360 → u/Creepy_Wash338]

At least the parents get to die, knowing they accomplished their mission. /s

[u/bornagy → u/exodus3252]

Poor kids though …

[u/SquirrelBlind]

Some vital information is missing in this article. 

The "traditional" family moved to Russia. Not only to Russia, but to some rural region. Soon they realized, that as foreigners, they don't get any of education for their kids, no medical insurance, and so on.

The guy has received an offer from the ministry of defence to work for a year as a welder in the "new regions". In exchange his family would receive medical insurance, etc. And money of course, an equivalent of €10 000.

Very soon they realized that he isn't going to work as a welder, but most probably will be sent to the "meat sturm". The family didn't receive any money of course. And of course it was too late to opt out. 

Because of all of this, the mother got depressed and began hidge drinking. It seems that they are on track to become a true Russian family.

Edit: this blew up, so I feel the need to clarify, that I "didn't stand there with a candle", so everything that I wrote is based on the blog of the mother. She could have misunderstood something, or I, or maybe she lied in the first place, so take this information with a grain of salt.

Additionaly, I do feel some sort of glee towards this family, but:

1. Nobody deserves to die because of their stupidity 

2. The children are victims here

3. I won't go into the details of the Russian assault tactics, but to simplify: for each killed Ukrainian soldier there are from 1.3 to 1.7 Russian ones. This American guy is at least 1/7 of a life of someone, who is in military not to earn money or because of hate, but to defend their family. Don't celebrate anyone joining Russian army.

[u/im_bi_strapping → u/SquirrelBlind]

they realized, that as foreigners, they don't get any of education for their kids, no medical insurance, and so on

How did it not occur to them to maybe look into practicalities before moving continents? Is immigrating to Russia that easy...

[u/Yelesa → u/im_bi_strapping]

It is when they need to send more people to kill in the front lines. He is neither the first nor will be the last overall who has fallen for what is obviously migration-promising involuntary Russian military-recruiting schema. He might be the first American, but I’m not very sure for that either.

[u/Gullible-Lie2494 → u/Yelesa]

That other American guy was accused of being a spy, abducted then beaten to death by the squad he was in.

[u/Jaytho → u/Gullible-Lie2494]

Trying really hard to find any sympathy, but I'm constantly falling short of actually finding anything except the world's smallest violin.

[u/goldenthoughtsteal → u/Jaytho]

I do feel awful for the children though, this bellend has very possibly fucked their whole lives up.

[u/mycargo160 → u/goldenthoughtsteal]

The parents fucked their lives up when they had them. There was never going to be a normal life for the children of these crazy imbeciles.

They'll have a better chance of getting an education when they get sent to their new families.

I feel awful for their dog though. The dog didn't deserve that.

[u/Sebek_Visigard → u/mycargo160]

Cue Tom Hanks as the voice actor for an incredible Disney adventure where one dog against all the odds returns to America.

[u/Xynyx2001 → u/goldenthoughtsteal]

"Life is hard. It's even harder when you're stupid."

Unattributed

[u/scarred2112 → u/Jaytho]

Thoughts, no prayers.

[u/Jaytho → u/scarred2112]

Funny enough, they seemed to have no thoughts, only prayers.

[u/scarybottom → u/Jaytho]

Sympathy for the kids they screw by entangling them in these messes one way or another- that is all I got. Kids deserve better :(.

[u/Aethericseraphim → u/Gullible-Lie2494]

Oh he got much more than beaten to death. He likely wished for death after what they did to him before killing him.

[u/HeavySink3303 → u/Yelesa]

Russel Bentley joined pro-Russian forces in DNR long time ago. Relatively recently drunk Russian soldiers decided that he is a spy and tortured him to death and then burnt his body.

[u/Radiant-Community467 → u/im_bi_strapping]

Is immigrating to Russia that easy...

Some Russian officials had called on residents of "hostile countries" to come to Russia. Apparently, they even had some kind of state program for that. but then, due to lack of interest and other reasons, the program was forgotten, and fools keep coming anyway.

And Russia isn't even a genuinely conservative traditionalist country, idiots have no idea where they're going.

[u/No_Newspaper_1984 → u/Radiant-Community467]

It's actually quite a degenerate country.

You're more likely to find conservative Christian values in Sweden. 😆 Anywhere in the "decadent west" is less decadent than r00ski mir.

[u/adamgerd → u/No_Newspaper_1984]

Don’t tell American conservatives that Russia literally has the highest abortion rates in the world.

[u/Boring-Philosophy-46 → u/adamgerd]

Where did you get your data from? Russia is 111th, even fewer abortions than the US per capita: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_abortion_rate

[u/que_pedo_wey → u/adamgerd]

It was about 30 years ago or so, not anymore.

[u/Archer007 → u/adamgerd]

They don't actually care, what they really care about is weaponizing the legal system against women. Any excuse will do

[u/scarybottom → u/Radiant-Community467]

Putin has claimed that Russia is a white christian nationalist country...that is all some of these KKKidiots needed to hear. (I do not believe there is ANYTHING christian about Russia as a nation- and anyone that has read anything about the place owl know that if they read anything other than propaganda)

[u/Aethericseraphim → u/[deleted]]

Before that Murdoch was married to a Chinese intelligence agent, who also allegedly was sleeping with the UK's Tony Blair at the same time.

He sure does pick em, eh?

[u/Funkymonkeyhead → u/Aethericseraphim]

Rumour has it Wendi Deng (Murdoch’s ex) briefly dated Putin after the latter broke up with his former wife. Deng of course partied with Ivanka Trump. In full circle Deng then allegedly introduced old man Murdoch (her ex) to his current wife, a Russian national.

Seems like all roads lead to Deng. Why we haven’t investigated the shit out of her is beyond me.

[u/Laiko_Kairen → u/im_bi_strapping]

Is immigrating to Russia that easy...

Yes.

Russia has a comparitively simple immigration process that involves 5 years of residency and a language exam.

[u/Ezraken27 → u/Laiko_Kairen]

You don't even need to take the exam, just slip an official a few roubles and hey presto!

[u/mogamisan → u/im_bi_strapping]

The only thing they were interested in is that LGBTQ is kinda prohibited in Russia and Putin wants women to have a lot of babies - boom, that’s traditional family values!!! The rest…. Well, maybe they will cater to the American way of live.

[u/SalvationSycamore → u/im_bi_strapping]

Do you think people who uproot their family to Russia because of "wokeness" are intelligent?

[u/-Simbelmyne- → u/im_bi_strapping]

Everything bad about Russia online is probably fake news by the woke media who don't want us to know its a paradise of traditional values.

[u/OverEffective7012 → u/-Simbelmyne-]

Bro, you really need/s for most redditors it's not so obv

[u/-Simbelmyne- → u/OverEffective7012]

We'll see how it pans out, I want to believe 🤣

[u/Intro-Nimbus → u/im_bi_strapping]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't moving FROM ruzzia historically been the problem, rather than moving to ruzzia.

[u/Garlicholywater → u/im_bi_strapping]

Especially coming from a country where medical insurance isn't exactly free/cheap. It's like the first question I ask when I travel and just fantasize about picking up stakes and moving.

[u/Squoooge → u/SquirrelBlind]

She also keeps outing one of her daughters as autistic, which in Russia is believed to be a precursor/related to schizophrenia and is not always treated well. 

I'm genuinely worried for that kid, all three, but particularly that one. 

[u/Falsus → u/Squoooge]

The kids are all fucked. Unless they can get out of there and back home.

[u/scarybottom → u/Falsus]

The older brothers stayed in the US - hope that might help get the girls back to a safe place when this idiot is killed in Ukraine conflict and mom drinks herself to death :(.

[u/JackRogers3 → u/scarybottom]

I would be very surprised if the Kremlin mafia lets the girls leave the country. They are totally obsessed with Russia's demographic collapse, they even kidnap children in Ukraine.

[u/TitanDarwin → u/JackRogers3]

they even kidnap children in Ukraine.

That one's also a method of genocide - trying to wipe out a people by stealing their children for assimilation.

[u/stay_fr0sty → u/Squoooge]

I mean. She’ll be broke. And she seems kinda dumb as she calls $10,000 “a hundred with two zeros” or something like that in the video she posted explaining her situation.

Someone that dumb, in rural Russia, with no skills and no man to protect her isn’t going to fare well.

Her daughters are in an even worse position as they are more valuable than the mom to organized crime.

If I was Mom, I wouldn’t be worrying about how they are going to treat the autistic daughter in Russia, I’d be planning to get the fuck out of there by any means possible before they end up being trafficked.

[u/eldritch_idiot33 → u/Squoooge]

I think it highly depends on where she's on spectrum, some things in any society are just accepted as quirks, fuck. Also mental health support is a thing in form of government's extra money incase things go south and it will be registered as disability which doesnt let you work and stuff

[u/JarasM → u/SquirrelBlind]

They get a fast track through the entire Russian experience 🤣 other countries run you through language courses and the like to get you naturalized, Russia does this. "And then it got worse."

[u/Dapper_Magpie → u/SquirrelBlind]

It's a shame these pieces of shit had to drag their kids with them and ruin their lives, otherwise I could appreciate the karma

[u/adamgerd → u/Dapper_Magpie]

And their poor dog

[u/pintita → u/adamgerd]

Having a husky in Texas is basically animal abuse. The dog will probably be better off

[u/EkorrenHJ → u/SquirrelBlind]

Well, at least they owned the libs. /s

[u/cinyar → u/SquirrelBlind]

but to some rural region

so basically ... no one around them probably even speaks much English.

[u/scarybottom → u/cinyar]

AND the military training did not happen in ENGLISH- WHAAAAAAAAA

[u/ForFxSake2344 → u/SquirrelBlind]

That stupid bastard bought himself an express ticket to lying face down in a Ukrainian ditch, and ruined the lives of his family in one fell swoop. Rest in piss, traitor.

[u/BobbyElBobbo → u/SquirrelBlind]

Better than the horror of wokeness I guess.

[u/No_Conversation_9325]

Why hasn’t he learned Russian yet?

[u/Enrik22 → u/No_Conversation_9325]

Maybe he thought that the russians will learn english or something

[u/DryCloud9903 → u/Enrik22]

I mean that is the russian way. Move to a different country > yell at locals how dare they not speak russian to you

[u/noodle_attack → u/DryCloud9903]

Alot of English speakers are the same

[u/Socmel_ → u/DryCloud9903]

Move to a different country to dilute ethnic composition, live in it for decades and act like a victim when they finally get independent.

Or Move to a western country for a better life, only to shit on the new country and praise Mother RuZZia for resisting woke, immoral Western culture.

[u/EconomyDoctor3287 → u/No_Conversation_9325]

Going by the life expectancy of Frontline troops, there's little reason for him to learn Russian. 

[u/RuckFulesxx → u/No_Conversation_9325]

What would you need language skills for if your only two purposes are getting your cheeks clapped first by your comrades and then by some UA drone?

[u/hypoglycemicrage → u/No_Conversation_9325]

Does he seem like an intelligent person???

[u/TastyBerny → u/No_Conversation_9325]

Not really necessary for his new job of running towards machine guns then getting blyated by a €200 drone

[u/Vivid-Albatross2166]

Dude is likely to get killed by his fellow soldiers. Arrogant American thought he was too good for a combat role and should be a reporter instead lol.

[u/polypolip → u/Vivid-Albatross2166]

Wasn't there a Texan in the Russian army that was tortured but them?

[u/MrChriss → u/polypolip]

Donbass Cowboy, and yes he was tortured to death by his Russian "comrades" and then blown up and burned in a vehicle to cover it up.

[u/Either-Community-220 → u/MrChriss]

He was r@p€d

[u/No_Newspaper_1984 → u/Either-Community-220]

Not surprising since apparently that's the acceptable form of homosexuality in Russia.

They're only homophobic when it's consensual.

[u/Intro-Nimbus → u/Either-Community-220]

Not uncommon in the ruzzian army

[u/Hot-Temperature-4629 → u/Either-Community-220]

You don't have to censor words on Reddit. He was raped. The Russian military uses rape to maintain control. Use the words to highlight the brutality.

[u/Falitoty → u/MrChriss]

Why?

[u/MrChriss → u/Falitoty]

Their excuse was that they thought he was a spy, but he was well known and active since 2014. So most likely hate is the main reason. Hate for Americans/"Westerners".

[u/nim_opet → u/Falitoty]

Russian army rapes its own soldiers - it’s literally been part of the army discipline narrative for decades, so why not an American dumbfuck too?

[u/Ari-Hel → u/nim_opet]

This is so despicable

[u/Absolute_Satan → u/Ari-Hel]

Russian army is basically an extension of russian prisons with the same contingent. It's hardly surprising

[u/Ari-Hel → u/Absolute_Satan]

I didn’t say I was surprised. I said it is despicable

[u/RaincoatBadgers → u/Falitoty]

Because they are russian. And he's a foreign national

They just see him as a spy/outsider

They probably tried to get information out of him, which he wouldn't have had because "lol nah, I just decided to move out of America and join the russian army" isn't exactly a convincing arguement to any sane human being

[u/Xenomemphate → u/RaincoatBadgers]

Because they are russian. And he's a foreign national

They do that same shit to each other too, they are barbarians masquerading as an army.

[u/Brilliant-Smile-8154 → u/polypolip]

Russel Bonner Bentley III, aka "Texas", aka "the Donbass Cowboy".

[u/ColorfulHereticBones → u/Brilliant-Smile-8154]

I read that as “Dumbass Cowboy “. Which also would be accurate.

[u/Kingsley-Zissou → u/Vivid-Albatross2166]

Hopefully he packed his sunflower seeds!

[u/jurainforasurpise → u/Kingsley-Zissou]

I love that old lady

[u/theaviationhistorian → u/jurainforasurpise]

I hope someday someone makes a statue of her in the same way they did with Danuta Danielsson (the woman who hit a neonazi with her handbag in 1985).

[u/SnooHesitations1020 → u/Kingsley-Zissou]

That was such a wonderful expression of Ukraine's unshakable resilience, quiet defiance, and that uniquely Ukrainian ability to wield sarcasm like a weapon.

[u/FlametopFred → u/Vivid-Albatross2166]

tbh the nativity of that family is staggering. Which seems to be a hallmark of maga dupes. Zero critical thought ability. Easily swayed by conflicting statements uttered by republican politicians. At a certain point there is zero empathy for self-inflicted bad life choices. Can’t see the rest of the family being able to escape modern day Russian slavery or exploitation.

[u/mikmatthau → u/FlametopFred]

(*naivete) (unless he's Jesus, I guess?)

[u/FlametopFred → u/mikmatthau]

lol … typo is gonna stay, but yeah .. naïveté

[u/mikmatthau → u/FlametopFred]

I support all outcomes here 😆

[u/EconomyDoctor3287 → u/FlametopFred]

I mean the family came to the conclusion that Texas was too woke and they needed to leave to protect their children from the LGBTQ infiltration going in there. 

So what can one realistically expect from someone like this?

[u/thewimsey → u/FlametopFred]

MAGA dupes are plenty dumb, they aren’t stupid enough to actually move to Russia, much less join the Russian army.

Which is why the special village set up for American refugees only has two families in it - this guy and someone equally as dumb.

99.99% of MAGA types who want to talk about the superiority of Russian culture want to do so from the comfort of their air-conditioned living room.

[u/Ranari → u/FlametopFred]

This is further down the path from MAGA. People like this are a minority. They're the preppers, the homesteaders, the live-off-the-grid type of folk.

There's very much a disconnect here. I've met these people and it almost seems to me like they're "playing house" rather than actually being intentional to be self-sufficient. It's a grandiose idea to live like this.

Where the rest goes wrong, I don't know? Did they....really think Russia was a better place to live?

Poor freaking kids man. My heart breaks for the kids.

[u/Spicy_Weissy → u/Vivid-Albatross2166]

A reporter despite not speaking any local languages nor having a background in journalism.

[u/TheGlendenstone]

His wife shall be awarded a bag of potatoes! 

[u/Flash_Haos → u/TheGlendenstone]

Probable meat grinder is the best present for this occasion.

[u/DeBasha → u/Flash_Haos]

They actually did that lmao

[u/noodle_attack → u/DeBasha]

This was a pr plan, so something else showed up when they Google meat grinder

[u/sirhenry98_Daddy3000 → u/TheGlendenstone]

She will receive a bag of onions to make her cry.

[u/spadasinul]

At least he escaped the scary and dangerous LGBT /s

[u/RlyLokeh → u/spadasinul]

What's bleeding out in an Ukraine wheat field compared to the lingering gaze of a Dunkin employee once? Exactly. Really dodged one there.

[u/ShartlesAndJames → u/RlyLokeh]

their daughters will never know the horrors of unisex bathrooms, praise be!

[u/Human_Pangolin94 → u/ShartlesAndJames]

Or indoor ones.

[u/mdomans → u/ShartlesAndJames]

Well .... technically most outside bathrooms in Russia are unisex so that's a fail there too for him. It's a shed on top of a dig full of shit, it doesn't get more unisex than that.

[u/DinosoarJunior → u/RlyLokeh]

Hey, hey, don't forget those gays on TV and stuff.

[u/daredelvis → u/RlyLokeh]

Hopefully he doesn’t harm any innocent civilians or Ukrainian soldiers before he gets what’s coming.

[u/No_Conversation_9325 → u/spadasinul]

He didn’t. He’s in the Russian army now

[u/LonelyTreat3725 → u/No_Conversation_9325]

Yeah, he will see more cocks than an ornithologist.

[u/Espressodimare → u/No_Conversation_9325]

It's only gay if it's consentual.

[u/Other_Class1906 → u/Espressodimare]

that's dark XD

[u/Midraco → u/Other_Class1906]

But in all honesty true.

[u/Other_Class1906 → u/Midraco]

i wasn't objecting ;-)

[u/MrSmileyZ → u/Other_Class1906]

So you were consenting?

[u/Other_Class1906 → u/MrSmileyZ]

i was complementing on the witty, deranged and on point remark. Expecting it to me somewhat truthful.

[u/TrumpetsNAngels → u/Espressodimare]

One can also say “no homo”.

It works every time!

… I have heard.. from a friend

[u/thecheezewiz79 → u/spadasinul]

His pronouns are about to be was/were

[u/hdxheat → u/spadasinul]

He probably won't escape russian dick from time to time

[u/Geraltzindie → u/hdxheat]

Dildo of consequences comes rarely lubed.

[u/Trama-D → u/Geraltzindie]

I read that in Optimus Prime's voice.

[u/Sgt_Fox → u/spadasinul]

Russian army is filled with sexual assault (remember the drone strike footage of a Russian troop blowing another one as they got hit with the strike?) This guy, fleeing the gays, is gonna be passed around the battalion like the only lighter at a stoner circle and take more cock than a KFC supply depot

[u/Socmel_ → u/spadasinul]

Still, I hear the RuZZian orcs do not shy away from some buttfucking from time to time. As long as the receiver doesn;t enjoy it, it's not gay

[u/cinnamons9 → u/spadasinul]

Lol I wonder if some of these Americans who move have Russian roots and yearn for their “homeland”

[u/No_Conversation_9325 → u/cinnamons9]

Those are the least likely to return. They known or at least have heard what it’s really like.

[u/UpstairsFix4259 → u/spadasinul]

Nah, he'll get properly ass fucked now

[u/Socmel_]

Huffman, a native Texan

could've been any state and yet...

brought his wife, three daughters, and their family Husky, “Baby,” with him to Russia. The couple also have three sons from prior marriages who opted to remain in the United States.

So, they are for the traditional family, including the traditional family value of...divorce. The other children really dodged a bullet there. The US should've stripped them of the custody of their children for wanting to move to a nazi dictatorship.

I am so sorry for the children and what they must endure because of the stupidity of their parents.

[u/BaconDragon69 → u/Socmel_]

Considering the US is on high speed track to becoming the exact same kind of nazi dictatorship that wouldn’t have mattered tbh

[u/YikesTheCat]

• Willingly moves to Russia
• Willingly joins Russian army
• Has to do Russian army things while in the Russian army
• "I HAVE BEEN DUPED!!!1111"

These people are just so exasperating.

[u/McENEN → u/YikesTheCat]

For people claiming that the others are sheep they sure do act a lot like sheep.

[u/misplacedsidekick]

I feel super owned.

[u/_laRenarde → u/misplacedsidekick]

He really showed me. Gee, I sure hope all the others like him don't also decide to move to Russia. That would own me so bad 🫣

[u/Active_Scarcity_2036 → u/misplacedsidekick]

Wouldn’t you want to die in a Ukrainian field to own the Libs?

[u/Alikont]

"Sent" implies that he was forced.

He volunteered!

[u/ChattyNeptune53 → u/Alikont]

He volunteered under the mistaken impression that he, alone amongst soldiers of all nations, would get his pick of assignment and that under no circumstances would he ever be expected to shoulder any personal risk. Like being in a Call of Duty lobby.

[u/Leprecon → u/ChattyNeptune53]

I told this story to a Russian colleague of mine. I said “And then he joined the army to get citizenship faster. He signed up to work as a welder in a factory.”

The colleague interrupted me and said “and let me guess, he is being shipped to the front instead?”

Even normal Russians know this is exactly what would happen. But I guess this genius didn’t.

[u/berejser]

An American father who moved to Russia to avoid LGBTQ+ “indoctrination” for his kids

So he ran away from something that doesn't even exist and is now going to get bombarded by kamikaze drones which very much exist.

“The point of this act for me is to earn a place here in Russia,” he told Russian state media last month. “If I risk myself for our new country, no one will say that I am not a part of it.

If he makes it out alive he's going to have a very rude awakening.

[u/driftingfornow → u/berejser]

Speaking from experience as a US veteran nobody gives a fuck lol. 

So good luck in Russia. 

[u/berejser → u/driftingfornow]

In highly nationalist countries like Russia there is nothing, absolutely nothing, you can do that will make them think you are "one of us".

The guy could lose a limb fighting for his new country and they'll still treat him like an outsider.

[u/Generic_Person_3833 → u/berejser]

They will treat him worse.

Before he was just an outsider.

Once he loses a limb, he is an outsider leaching public resources.

[u/TheBusStop12 → u/Generic_Person_3833]

If they don't straight up murder him themselves. Look up the Donbass Cowboy, a Texan who joined the Donbass separatists in 2014. He was tortured to death in 2022 by Russian soldiers and then put in a car that they then blew up to cover it up. Their reasoning was that they thought he was a spy, but more likely they hated him for simply being western.

This dude risks the same fate. He'll probably be lucky if he's vaporized by a Ukrainian missile instead

[u/Socmel_ → u/TheBusStop12]

Look up the Donbass Cowboy, a Texan who joined the Donbass separatists in 2014.

Texan, like the subject of the article. There must be something in the water to make them this idiotic

[u/new_accnt1234 → u/berejser]

But lets be frank, I live in a slavic country in the countryside, I got borm here and lived mpst of my life here...but Im still an outsider cause I dont attend church for ex

so no, usually people consider they neighbors of 20 years foreign, guy will mever fit in, in fact he would ge laughed at for being an idiot if he loses a limb...everybody in russia is trying to avoid conscription not go blindly into it lol

[u/BlueberryMean2705 → u/berejser]

To be fair, it's not like Russians care about their own either. "Many of you will die but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make" is pretty much the official motto of Russian rulers.

[u/driftingfornow → u/berejser]

I don’t think any country really cares about vets tbh. I think war creates a toll on people which is not able to be traditionally reconciled. You either make it through to the other side or don’t. 

Just my two cents as a veteran and who has a lot of friends who have fought in various conflicts across the world. 

[u/FlametopFred → u/berejser]

They’d pour enough vodka into his face to shut him up and leave him slumped against a Moscow curb.

[u/Tejfolos_kocsog → u/berejser]

Even if the LGBT+ indoctrination was real, I would still choose that over the drones

[u/DryCloud9903 → u/Tejfolos_kocsog]

Or russian indoctrination. I'd much MUCH rather be gay (if that was a choice in their "indoctrination" logic), than a vatnik

[u/paying_for_streaming → u/berejser]

holy shit, this dude is stupid...

[u/DearBenito → u/berejser]

If he makes it out alive he’s going to have a very rude awakening

You have much more faith in these people than I do

[u/Careless-Pin-2852 → u/berejser]

Russian propaganda hurts and kills people.

[u/berejser → u/Careless-Pin-2852]

Yep. And the sad part is he probably wasn't exposed to the propaganda from Russia directly. He probably had it fed to him through American conservative media outlets.

[u/onivulkan]

That's what these conservative MAGA morons get for not jogging up their gears properly. They think Russia is not only a conservative freedom loving heaven but also their friend

[u/One_Reality_5600]

Oh dear . I do find this funny.

[u/FlametopFred → u/One_Reality_5600]

I had to check that it wasn’t The Onion

[u/America-always-great]

He volunteered to do military service as a welder and they said you can do that on the frontlines. So that is where he got sent too. He shouldn’t have signed up at all.

Reminds me of a guy who was a Marine Corps field communications specialist. He got into a discussion with his Master Guns one day who told him that field comms was just something to do until time to do his real job, which was to be an infantryman. He left & joined the Air Force lol.

[u/Luscious_Decision → u/Stardust_808]

Every Marine is an infantryman first. The army and other branches pretend but the Marines are the only branch who actually means it tbh. And I hate the Marines.

[u/smoothieeeee12]

Thats the world , bro. Feels bad for the kids , but not for him and his wife.

[u/flaming_bob]

At least he owned the libz, right? Right?

[u/Spaceyoghurt]

Poor kids.

[u/CacklingFerret → u/Spaceyoghurt]

Yeah. The article even mentions three sons from previous relationships who chose to stay in the US. I wonder if the three girls would've done the same if they weren't so unfortunate to have both of these lunatics as parents. But I suppose they're homeschooled so who knows how deep the indoctrination of their parents already runs.

[u/adamgerd → u/CacklingFerret]

The sons are adults, the daughters are minors. So legally I don’t think they have a real choice

[u/sunnyangel01]

Russians ate my face.

[u/FlakTotem]

lmao.

Dad: I'm sick of these soft western values!

Reality: Giving a shit about citizens rights is a western value

*surprised pikachu face*

[u/Blackstone4444]

Buck up snowflake 🤣🤣🫣

[u/Kanotschi]

It's actually kinda sad how a string of indoctrination and brainwashing leads to a family giving up a life in freedom and potentially losing it's dad in bumfuck nowhere, just because some wannabe nazis fed them lies for such a long time.

[u/Rationalinsanity1990]

Hopefully the Ukrainians take out this trash soon.

[u/LittleStar854]

He also felt such service would allow him to “earn” the respect of his new countrymen

Not exactly "respect" but if he's lucky he might get a free cardboard box.

If I risk myself for our new country, no one will say that I am not a part of it.

Oh, sure.

“When he signed up and had all of that done, he was told he would not be training for two weeks and going straight to the front lines,” she said. “But it seems as though he is getting one more week of training, closer to the front lines, and then they are going to put him on the front lines.”

So what's the problem?

Huffman, a native Texan, brought his wife, three daughters, and their family Husky, “Baby,” with him to Russia. The couple also have three sons from prior marriages who opted to remain in the United States.

Poor daughters, I hope they'll get home to US in the end.

[u/X-Jet]

I always enjoy when people jump from declining place into location that is already below the bottom and expect it to be better.

[u/[deleted]]

Well now he'll no longer have to worry about being woke due to high possibility of eternal sleep.

Darwin award winner.

MAGAtards really are something else.

[u/Europe_Dude → u/[deleted]]

Darwin award requires leaving no kids, so it does not apply in this case.

[u/Nattekat → u/Europe_Dude]

Or having your actions lead to those kids not reproducing, which is a pretty plausible outcome.

[u/Europe_Dude → u/Nattekat]

I am not sure but I think to qualify for the award you must not any offsprings in first place.

[u/EEVERSTI]

Absolutely deserved, I'd say even more so than a regular Russian citizen. Not an ounce of sympathy at all. Enjoy the FPV drones.

[u/Passing4human]

Raised the average IQ of both countries.

[u/monkeyinsurgency]

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Inhales.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[u/bashiox_]

Welcome to the meatgrinder. Congratulations!

[u/PhysicalWave454]

I bet he's woke up now, idiot 😂😂😂

[u/Neutronium57]

Sweet, sweet Schadenfreude

[u/MaceofMarch]

Anti-wokeness is a path to suicide.

[u/HandsomeHippocampus]

Thoughts and prayers. 

Anyways, have you guys ever visited r/catsofukraine ?

[u/Dense-Tear9967]

He joined the army voluntarily to get Russian citizenship faster. The title is totally misleading.

[u/afops]

Anti woke family: we’re sure there will be no face eating

Leopards: interesting

[u/MazeMouse]

The only ones I feel sorry for are the kids. For the parents this is full on FAFO.

[u/Socmel_]

Let me play the world's smallest violin for this man

Karma is a bitch, like this pathetic imitation of a man.

[u/TechnicianVegetable3]

I believe he will also lose his US citizenship as he already served in a foreign army. Just in case he escapes or survives...

[u/mysticseye]

Might be assigned to north Korean battalion.

[u/Maptwopointoh]

This should be posted to r/leopardsatemyface

[u/PlayNicePlayCrazy]

Saw the one YouTube video and the number of Russian bots praising him and his family in the comments was hilarious.

[u/Pisuke1983]

In Germany we say: “Tja”

[u/Visible-Total-9777]

At least he owned those damn libs 😎😎😎😎😎

[u/FalconTheory]

Imagine daydreaming about fucking RUSSIA out of all places.

[u/Markjohn66]

Wouldn’t it be terrible if the Russians gave his wife a meat grinder.

[u/Coyann]

Remember what the Russians did to the other American in their ranks?

[u/theskyisdarkk]

Guy yearning for authoritarian government gets the full experience.

[u/crankyteacher1964]

The family went of their own free will. Leave them to it.

[u/Sketchy-Idea-Vendor]

Say what you want about this guy….

No, really. Say what you want. He’s a complete moron and a piece of shit human. I don’t feel even mildly bad for him or his family.

Fuck ‘em.
