Anyone who would leave Texas and fight for Russia is a traitor to America and indeed a dumbazz. He deserved his death.
Your hamhanded denial will not undo the murder of this man at the hands of the people he was trying to help. Your people, that is.
There is a pretty decent chance there is more to the story than you know. Ex-con is where domestic intel recruits informants heavily.

He was slipping away from the wife and his unit, heading to Donbass for unknown reasons. I would not be surprised he was CIA, and got caught trying to make contact.
Russians probably prefer the myth of him to releasing the reality, and that is the confusion.
