  1. R.i.p. condolences to his family xx

  2. 22 year old mercenary. Now wife gets a check. Needs to find a husband who has more brains. No pun intended. Don’t fight for oiligarchs.

  3. NATO wants to fight to "THE LAST UKRAINIAN": a great SHAME!

  4. Zelensky is primarily responsible for this crisis : his poor drug-fueled judgements are responsible for this crisis 😳

  5. Stupid is as stupid does

  6. Shame on the government of the USA!
    Glory to Russia 😤
    Victory to Russia ✌️

  7. Was the private military contractor that he worked for an American based "private" contractor? As we all know, USA loves to profit from war.

  8. Chose to leave his family possibly girl and kids to fight for nazis and believed in what he was fighting for, instead of fighting in believing in his contract.

  9. Lol stupid is as stupid does

  10. United States is a day late and dollar short on support of Ukraine. With all the spy's, CIA, FBI, Interpol, Homeland Security, NATO, National Security Agency and all our Military branches we did not see this coming? That is pretty poor performance of security agencies world wide. OR was it intended to allow Russia to take Ukraine, which was suppose to happen quickly, but did not, do to the resistance of Ukraine which was not expected. In that case everyone trying to save face are now helping Ukraine to show some support. But they all have been really late in helping Ukraine and it's civilians. This did not go right for world globalists trying to hold on to "Balance of Power" policy around the world. Hard to get out of without egg on their face. But in all this, the delays of support are complicit in the genocide going on in Ukraine. They can not go without blood on their hands.

  11. "Working for a private military contractor", is a nice way of saying that he was a Mercenary.

  12. How bad this guys home life must have been that, rather than stay at home with his wife and baby he goes across the globe to fight in Ukraine?!?
