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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
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.

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.
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.
NATO was an evolution of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party.
Is that really so far off though?
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, unless you ask a fucking idiot.
Get bent you fucking Nazi shitbag
If by evolution you mean “created to oppose” then yes. The question is what global organization will be created to fight against the evil of Trump and Putin.
Read a fucking history book
Yes
Average technocrit ragebait. Yawn.
Yes
^ How to piss everyone off in one sentence
Yes, very far off.
What the hell
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.
Also very prevalent with tankies.
Tankies don't have their own beliefs. They're just mouthpieces for the Russian and Chinese government.
It seems they convinced him that NATO and Ukraine are Nazis. Typical stuff from the play book. Dude just went all in on it. Pretty sad, he had his whole life ahead of him.
Who'd guess the cia deputy director would raise such a gullible piece of shit
I remember times when I rebelled against my parents and did some pretty stupid shit, but kids today are on a different level.
I hate fascism.
So he fought for Putin to invade Ukraine? That's some top tier thinking there.
Have you seen the leaders of western imperialism lately? Say what you want about russian politicians, but they're not doing this.
The people in those images all support Russia though
I know you can't resist to whatabout some more, but the US is an ally of Russia since last November.
You make me want to be a worse person.
I laughed so hard at this, god damn
There's more than one way to fasc, I guess.
But they are. I mean they are not saluting but their opinions, their mindset, and ideology are quite similar .
Western Imperialism these days is the US, Israel, and Russia
Bro didn't like that Israel invaded Gaza, so he joined Russian army in their invasion of Ukraine to make it right 🤷♂️
I certainly don't recommend following the link to his obituary from the article and reading the entries in the traitor's tribute book.
Example of some of those entries:
I hate fascism so I join the Russian army
I hate having to watch mental gymnastics like that right before going to sleep. How dumb is you
Sounds like a good kill. Chose the wrong side, should have stayed home.
Tankie you for your service
That country turns fascists into sunflowers
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?
Hahaha he hates fascists, fights for one and gets ganked. LOL. GJ nerd, didn't you know, dieing is what the Orks do?
Glad he's dead then
