  1. He should have stayed home. Why fight in someone else's war ?

  2. до свидания.. Cyka Blyat 😮
    FAFO

  3. I met him a couple of times back in Boise. He had a studio he was running. A friend of mines use to record there. He was real a cool guy, very gentle. Wow, Nick. You made the national news bro. Rest Eternally my guy 😢

  4. Dying a pointless death. Ukraine would lose.

  5. In any YouTube video related to Ukraine, many commenters eagerly flock
    to heap contempt and disdain
    on those who sacrifice, suffer, die, in resistance to murderous Russian aggression
    and it's not easy to tell
    the idiots (weak minds easily seized by crackpot propaganda)
    from the paid influencers (working at what might be the best job they'll ever have).

  6. not a hero ukraine is terrorist nation only terrorists like them join them

  7. That place got bombed into oblivion

  8. Dying for nothing 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

  9. That’s what he get fighting a fight that ain’t his 😂😂😂😂

  10. But but you said no usa soldiers in Ukraine lol.
    Zero fuws given

  11. Wonder how many Russians he killed b4 getting killed?

  12. Died for nothing. If this war continues it will soon be fought with planes. Light infantry combat hasn't made any difference in Ukraine. When they run outta feet, they will move to planes and long range attacks. I dont feel sorry for this person just because they wanted to help a conflict. We owe nothing to Ukraine and should not be there. We cant even take care ourselves. Being a patriot is honorable but this dude was just a mercenary who missed the adrenaline of combat. Go look up his history. We should honor him for his service to our country but there was no reason for him to go to Ukraine other than he was psychologically attracted to combat after serving so many tours.

  13. Respect for his service but this war is pointless. Ukraine Will not succeed and they will spend decades rebuilding paid by our taxes

  14. The US obsession with Crimea is greater than that of Ukrainians themselves. That's why they force the Kiev clown to continue sending his forces to death!

  15. He could have waited until the war came to our soil.. won't be long..

  16. RIP MY AMERICAN HEROS

  17. Nobody told him to fight for someone else country instead of being with his family.

  18. Many Americans consider to volunteer for the defense of freedom.

  19. I cant find words to say how much respect and gratitude I feel towards Heros like him.

  20. Fool. The real winner is the one the lives the longest.

  21. Literally threw his life away.

  22. Should've never been there … empy all these prisons so they could fight.

  23. Just a paid for hire killer.

  24. Democracy my butt, he is supporting the lies of the war mongers in D.C and the demo-crazies!
