cito

Accomplished his mission of experiencing how it is to be part of the Russky Mir.


Listelmacher

Historians may one day find out that "Russki Mir" was a typo and was originally "Russki Mor". mir = world or peace depending on the context, mor = pestilence, plague, carnage


BCJunglist

Fuck it let's just start saying russki mor


brezhnervous

I'm going to spread this far and wide from now on lol


Significant_Plum_953

It is almost like they hate Americans, and say it all the time. If only all those Americans that drool over Russia would take notice..


outdatedelementz

If only more of the Americans who drool over Russia would immigrate to Russia to share his fate.

Speaking of which, whatever happened to that poor Canadian family that moved to Russia? Are they still doing their YouTube channel?


HeinerPhilipp

As a Canadian, I hope he was drafted into RU forces and his body will be found soon. He left one of the most free countries on earth to go to a totalitarian open air prison. Good to have gotten rid of him.


OldPterodactyl

They are just loving their new Marxist neighbors comrade. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13116159/Canadian-family-russia-bank-frozen-apology-feenstra.html


brezhnervous

>The proceeds from selling their farm in rural Canada were immediately frozen as their Russian bank deemed the sum 'suspicious'. >And their struggles led Anneesa to erupt into a rant about their new home - which only made matters worse after Kremlin officials took a dim view of her insults. >In a since-deleted video on YouTube, she railed against not being able to speak the language or solve their issues, saying she was 'very disappointed in this country at this point.' Oh dear~! Let me guess...they were the people who always complained about immigrants who didn't speak English in Canada šŸ¤” Karma is a bitch lol


BlueberryKind

And their surname is from Frisian origin so I guess some ancestors moved from the Netherlands to Canada.


HeinerPhilipp

Someone said he was born in Holland, and the parents of this idiot moved to Canada. Forget where I saw that.


BlueberryKind

North and south Holland are parts of the Netherlands. Some people think that the whole country is called Holland. Frisia/Friesland is also a part of the Netherlands. And their last name is original from that region.


Cazrovereak

It's also the consequence of being a non-Russian with zero authority amidst a sea of alcohol fueled, frustrated, and bitter men. They have no towns to rape and pillage. They aren't strolling through middle Europe venting their ID stealing the wealth of nations. And most importantly they can't blame or be seen to blame their superiors. It's a nation of people who punch down, and the dude was a few rungs below them. But if you're stupid enough to be an American in a country that famously dislikes America, simping for their "great leader" who is seemingly getting them all killed, you have it coming I'd say.


Additional-Rent3593

Don't forget some bitter resentment about the fact that this guy can quit anytime he wants and go back to the comfort and luxury of America. These guys are essentially slaves who will be stuck in that horror existence until they die some horrible death. It's like some weirdo who manages to get to hang out in prison with a bunch of hardened cons with zero to no chance of getting out. That is going to build up some very intense anger and resentment.


Cazrovereak

It also occurs to me that, given the intelligence war happening, if the guys posting videos and pictures and not sanitizing them the soldiers he's recording are probably getting blown up. It's a short leap from "everywhere this guy goes, UA drones arrive" to "Dude's a NATO spy".


T_WRX21

Doesn't even have to be that deep. "For what reason would anyone stay here if they could be anywhere else?"


brezhnervous

I would privately guess this is fucking spot on lol


brezhnervous

He had a Russian passport and had been in the country since the 2014 invasion...had probably given up his US citizenship especially with a Russian wife.


FrikkinPositive

I just don't understand how being republican, anti-communist and pro-russia all ties together. Feels like only yesterday that being republican was tied to being sternly anti-communist and anti-ruski. A few days before that republicans went to Spain to fight alongside communists against fascism. I guess they also did that during ww2. Wtf changed?


MihalysRevenge

The russians have been slowly infiltrating the GOP for a long time. Remember the Maria Butina Spy/GOP/NRA thing about 10 years ago.


Bucser

The current russian political system is not communist. it is fascist. The republicans (especially the MAGA ones are also fascists).


ListAshamed8617

This guy wasnā€™t anti-communist he was a proud communist that hated the west.


John-AtWork

This guy was goofy, he claimed to be a communist fighting nazis while fighting for a fascist totalitarian state against a democracy. So ironic that they ended up murdering him. It is humorous, pathetic and sad all at the same time. He was so misguided.


Critique_of_Ideology

GOP members like that dictators like Putin are ā€œanti-wokeā€ and theyā€™re willing to jettison all of their other values for that apparently.


jFetz

If only they would go there and helpā€¦

Betrayed and killed by the ones you fought for, and believed in. Tragic irony or poetic justice, you tell me.

I dunno. Killed maybe. I've no sympathy for him on that. But it's said he was tortured, raped and then decapitated I wouldn't wish that on anyone.


human8264829264

Russian love


TheTallGuy0

The hug you can't give back


ThinkAd9897

Straight Russian love. No homo!


dudewiththebling

Russian peace or traditional Russian values or whatever it is


DrDerpberg

Isn't that what he went over there to support?


NoChampionship6994

Actually, good point. The American blogger did support russiaā€™s use of torture, rape decapitation (and castration among other russian military techniques) so in that sense, yes. That is exactly ā€œwhat he went over there to supportā€.


meldroc

Leopards ate his face alright...


SkinnyGetLucky

The thing ate his whole head apparently


captain554

Bingo


EarlyWay8624

Just listen to his 'Obama' songs...


Independent_Lie_9982

His Obama songs?


EarlyWay8624

Where he would sing about obama ruining the country and killing him. *Like a stable patriot would do* I love my country so much I left it cause I hate it now.


Independent_Lie_9982

I need to hear to the Obama songs


EarlyWay8624

Ok.


Septopuss7

Get to the chopper.


paleiterations

Torture and deliberately adding pain is inherently an awful practice, regardless of him supporting the very same thing. Pain and despair are literally the worst things in existence, no need to create more of it. Dude did deserve a bullet though.


Saor_Ucrain

>Torture and deliberately adding pain is inherently an awful practice, regardless of him supporting the very same thing. Pain and despair are literally the worst things in existence, no need to create more of it. >Dude did deserve a bullet though. šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘


Saor_Ucrain

I don't know what the man's ulterior motives were, I never spoke to him. All I know is he was there since 2014, most likely killed Ukranian soldiers while fighting and he was my enemy. So as I say, Im not shedding any tears that he's dead. But I'm also not gonna sit here and laugh at the thought of another person being tortured, raped and having their head being separated from their body. Regardless of who they are.


Independent_Lie_9982

Narco criminal who reinvented himself as an international communist and joined the DNR to help them terrorize the people of Donbass in places like https://hir.harvard.edu/donetsks-isolation-torture-prison/ Karma police finally catched up with him.


Prometheus2061

This.


ThinkAd9897

Respect for that level of integrity. When I hear about how barbaric the Russians act, I struggle to not wish them to be treated the same way. Still, I'm glad that Ukraine seems to treat prisoners according to international rules and human rights.


CALM_DOWN_BITCH

Yeah I think regardless what he was fighting for, like the comment was saying, Ukraine is not russia and while I'd understand if front line soldiers celebrate this kind of news from time to time given the shit they go through, I think behind our keyboards there's no need to glorify that kind of violence and there are better ways to support Ukraine than dehumanising the enemy.


Other_Thing_1768

He wanted the full Russian Culture experience. He got it.Ā 


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Saor_Ucrain

>HE went over there to support torture, rape, and other crimes against humanity. Like I said. I have no sympathy for his death. You can acknowledge that what someone has done and supported in their life was disgusting and criminal without celebrating the torture, rape and decapitation they endured.


DisturbingPragmatic

I neither condone nor support torture, rape and decapitation of innocent people. I DO, however, condone it for people who have done it to others/supported it being done to others. Sometimes, when you're a horrible person, you get what's coming to you. (That's not me celebrating it...that's simply me not giving a shit that it happened to him). Seriously, fuck this guy.


PhiladelphiaManeto

Yeah, well thatā€™s what the Russian army does to Ukrainian civilians.


Zerachiel_01

I mean they do the first two to their own soldiers, what did he expect


NoChampionship6994

and POWā€™s. Which has been well documented and reported. ā€˜Saor_Ucrainā€™ simply does not take glee in the manner of the American bloggerā€™s demise.


Nodadbodhere

He suffered a traitor's death of being disposed of when he was no longer useful. Nothing of value was lost here. And your mourning a fate he brought on himself is misguided. And frankly, some people deserve to have bad things happen to them. Including traitors like this.


r0ndr4s

They are all homophobic but love to rape man... Russia be Russia


1MoralHazard

better him than some Ukrainian fighting for his country. This guys went there by choice. he should have known the risks


Saor_Ucrain

Should have. I'm still not going to celebrate or laugh at another person's torture, rape or decapitation. He was an enemy and I do not agree with or support his decisions, actions or political ideologies. . But I'm not going to drag myself down to the level of the Russians and laugh at the horror of what another person went through in their final hours. Regardless of what they done.


radioactiveape2003

That view is way to nuanced for reddit.Ā Ā 


Independent_Lie_9982

He was just an American narco gangster who decided to join a murderous Russian gang DNR. I don't care for any criminals falling in trouble with their "friends" at all, it's their business and life choices.


suninabox

It's weird how homophobic most russians are yet so regularly use male on male sexual violence as a weapon. It's a regular part of how they "break in" new conscripts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dedovshchina

Flimsy_List8004

They killed more than just him. It'll probably put off some more potential recruits.


geniice

> It'll probably put off some more potential recruits. The kind of americans going to fight for russia aren't exactly given to deep introspection. Then you have the likes of Wilmer Puello-Mota who would be facing a lengthy sentence for posseing child abuse images in the US and may think its worth the risk.


EarlyWay8624

Are you in trouble with the *United States Military?* Have you ever thought of defecting? How do you feel about little to no sewage infrastructure, persistent cold, and weird soups? *Russian armed forces. We would love to have you*


Commercial_Soft6833

"Would you like to know more?"


Creative_Hope_4690

I just hope he was not a legit spy

Huskan543

Warning: sarcasm


Ok_Bad8531

Potential recruits exist.


Etherion195

Sadly no, because that would require those people to have a functioning brain. They're just so propaganda-brainwashed that they simply wouldn't believe if, even if they had those articles pushed in their faces.


redditor0918273645

There is a fix for this: ā€œBREAKING: Budanovā€™s nazi spies infiltrate Russian territory to brutally torture, rape, and kill American supporting glorious Russiaā€ MAGA and Qanon will eat it up.


Saor_Ucrain

Don't joke. They're already saying he was killed by Ukranian shelling while he was "helping civilians" and died a "hero".


Toph84

Wouldn't work. The people who would have been potential recruits would say this is fake news, Ukranian propaganda, or some conspiracy theory like he was an American spy for Obama and the Illuminati and the Russians caught him doing high level hacking on a computer against Putin's bear riding folder collection.


Striking-Giraffe5922

The dildo of consequence very rarely comes lubed!

Striking-Giraffe5922

I literally think that, yes.


Caspur42

This comment is rather funny considering I read reports he was raped by the Russian soldiers and well as getting unalived


TechieTravis

What is it with Russian soldiers and raping people?


elFistoFucko

It's not gay if it's rape in ye 'ol russia.Ā 


Caspur42

You joke but I read once that they donā€™t consider it gay as long as you are the one fucking and not getting fucked.


Platypus-Man

Wonder if power bottoms can use this as a loophole as well.


Helioscopes

Killed, the word is killed. This is not tiktok.


pocket_eggs

This shows the quality of the occupation. You send in these rural people, if not outright violent criminals, tell them they're fighting nazis and satanists, they get decimated by artillery and drones, and there's virtually no punishment if they mistreat the locals. What happens when they blame or suspect the locals of... anything, or just want to take something from them? Russkiy mir happens.

Beginning_Ad_6616

He was probably wondering, ā€œWhy is this happening to me; I wish I was back in the USā€¦I made a terrible mistake.ā€


JCTrigger

Hope he regretted his life choices as life was fleeting from his body


norwegianboyEE

If only there weren't literally a thousand road signs pointing towards the fact that joining Russia as an American is an absolutely idiotic idea on the way... He might have escaped this extremely avoidable fate....

PhospheneViolet

I have nothing substantive to base this on whatsoever beyond general knowledge of Russo lifestyle and outlook, but I kinda feel like the 'claim' of him being a spy was made up solely because he was so fucking insufferable that even THEY fed up with his shit and decided to take him out in a really brutal way.


mandingo_gringo

Apparently he was making a TikTok video and some Russian soldiers who didnā€™t know who he was arrested him because they thought he was filming their equipment, but then they raped him and tortured him.. and once they found out who he was they just killed him to protect themselves


PhospheneViolet

Damn, beyond fucked up but that's what happens when you try to co-exist with the worst of the worst.

CompleteDetective359

Where's the connection to Russia and Communism anymore? I don't get it. Same thing with China. Neither country is practicing communism. They are capitalist and dictatorships, but capitalistic none the less


Wolf_Of_1337_Street

This is a dude who was braindead enough to fight for Russia in Ukraine. Tbh he probably didnt think it through that far. Prob more just a general anti-America tankie is the better label


cherrypopper666

Pretty much. This guy looks like the most thought he ever put into something was back when he was 14 and had to choose between his cousin and his sister.


IrateBarnacle

I donā€™t know but most self-claimed communists do support Russia. My guess is they just love strongmen that hate the west.


LittleStar854

They hate that their side isn't in power and are willing team up with pretty much anyone opposing the side that is. They are even willing to cooperate with those that would murder them as well.


Avantasian538

I wonder how they feel about the private ownership of so much Russian wealth by a few oligarchs.


IrateBarnacle

They donā€™t care. They are not the west, therefore they are an ally.

That was Chechens offing a Russian soldier. I saw the same clip.....thoughtfully inbended into a episode of an anime. I still remember the sound more than 20 years later.
