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.

Hahaha he hates fascists, fights for one and gets ganked. LOL. GJ nerd, didn't you know, dieing is what the Orks do?
Read the book by Barbara Walters. How Civil Wars Start and How to Stop Them. I probably don't agree with her politically but I trust her abilities that she has a lot to offer on explaining. how governments destroy other governments via asymmetrical and/or proxy war and state sponsored terrorism. Through direct and indirect measures, all forms of terrorism is curated and created by state actors. I hate Putin. But he had every right for what he did. And like a self-fulfilling prophecy, Europe is pissing its pants... they made their bed, now they got a lay in it. But the Yankee had a lot to do with it. Most people live in a vacuum, and each conflict is like a whole new world to them. When in reality war never ends, the book of history never closes. Capitalism will always be riddled with conflict. Cooperation is the rule of civilization. Competition is the rule of the jungle.
You've been propagandized.
Ukraine wants and deserves to be free of Russian imperialism.
In 2014, the CIA sponsored a coup that overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine. The Nationalist or the Nazis are now in charge and Zelensky is their dildo, which is fucking us as we shell over more and more money to a war that was never to be won. The liberals fell for the last war that lasted 20 years because they wanted to save the oppressed Muslim women because they had to wear sheets over their heads. When in reality, American interventionism has destroyed their cultures. Liberals make me fucking sick. I'd rather hug a full-blown clear as bell hog fascist than ever cuddle up to a self-absorbed in denial Neo-liberal fascist yet, Putin can suck my dick, both China and Russia are capitalist countries, and at the root of all of our problems is the capitalist economic system. Everybody thinks they're right. Everybody thinks they're so fucking smart. There are no arms to run to. No wars worth fighting. For there is no war but the class war.
Liberals are too stupid to understand how tragic this all is. None of these conflicts are worth dying for, and it's all about rich people and their investments. Fucking disgusting.
Umm your home being invaded and your friends and family being tortured, raped and murdered is like one of the very few things worth dying for, no?
There’s a ton of comments about this on r/securityclearance about this and how crazy it is his parents still have clearances.
I wonder how much his actions were about believing in the Russian cause and how much about rebelling against his CIA parents.
His family is MAGA, they are treasonous Russian assets.
Being a russian asset seems to be a requirement now for government security clearances.
How does someone keep a security clearance high enough to be a CIA Deputy Director when you have a child fighting in a foreign army?
eco-activist, women’s rights supporter, and anti-fascist
fighting for Russia
ummm, something doesn't compute
From the end of the article
But despite supporting Ukraine at the beginning of the full-scale war, he was at a military recruitment center in Moscow, alongside other foreign nationals, on September 5, 2023, Russian border data shows.
His social media posts show a distinct change in his views — one identified by Important Stories as belonging to Gloss suggest he believed in conspiracy theories involving Ukraine, and claimed NATO was an evolution of Adolf Hitler's Nazi party.
NATO was an evolution of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party.
Is that really so far off though?
Get bent you fucking Nazi shitbag
Yes
Not really. NATO had many ex top Nazis at the helm directly after world war 2. The line between Nazi Germany and NATO is very straight.
One of the most notable being top Nazi Adolf Heusinger https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Heusinger
Where the other guy went wrong is thinking that anyone opposing NATO in this case Russia suddenly becomes objectively good.
Is that really so far off though?
Yes you fucking cretin
Notice that the one US president who actually has been building concentration camps and operating the Gestapo, shares with you a strong dislike of NATO.
Yes, very far off.
You're a fucking moron.
Yes, unless you ask a fucking idiot.
Literally the bravest thing I've seen all week
Read a fucking history book
Either extremely impressionable, or maybe had his account handed over after he was pulled off the street and conscripted into a ruzzian meat wave.
Either way, tragic waste of human life, being anywhere near involvement with their military.
It's probably because USA is openly fascist while russia at least claims to oppose.
Just look at ML or Hexbear right here on Lemmy. The tankies love Putin and Xi. Horseshoe is a law not a theory.
Some people consider Ukraine to be a neonazi stronghold. So fighting Ukraine would be fighting against fascist nazis. That logic is prevalent with conspiracy nuts/scammers like Alex Jones.
I encourage any MAGA to be outraged, and join the Russian army to exact their revenge on behalf of one of their own.
Bro didn't like that Israel invaded Gaza, so he joined Russian army in their invasion of Ukraine to make it right 🤷♂️
What an hero. They should all an hero themselves.
He doesn't afraid of anything
