A brainwashed soldier, I mean mercenary. This is a perfect example of being so zealous for a cause that one cannot critically evaluate the overall landscape. He does not seem to grasp 2014 at all, and seems perfectly OK with the US military steamrolling around everywhere to accomplish questionable policies.
They have said that we need this or that border security or health care or whatever you want to say. But, it is clear to me that this is solely about Ukraine. We didn’t have proper border security or health care in 2010 or 2000 or 1990, 1980, 1970, 1960 or 1950.

We also did not have millions of illegal alien invaders coming unabated across the southern border…
Oh, cry me a river. The biggest threats to the freedom of Americans aren’t in Moscow, but in Washington DC and our own state capitals.
This “Jackie” has plenty of work to do here in the U.S. instead of chasing some delusional dream in some Eastern European dump.
Prior to this war, Ukraine spent around $5B annually on defense. We have given them $46B already just in military aid, and $75B in other aid. This includes 160 155mm howitzers, with 1.5 million rounds. This price tag does not include the entirety of our Intel capabilities both from space and forward deployed forces, as well as forward deployed military expertise that is training, coaching and guiding. That is more than enough; if you can’t win with that much of an edge in this much time, you aren’t going to.
He is a soldier, not a mercenary, Ukraine does not use mercenaries.

Easy for you to post stuff like this. Our cities are crumbling. Go to one, see the potholed streets, the cracked sidewalks, the broken curbs, the streetlights out, the vacant lots, the burned out buildings, the derelict cars. I dare you to go walk at night in Memphis or Newark, you wouldn’t dare. We have to save our own country first.

Matthew 6:5
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men.
“Jackie” wouldn’t know how to fix an American city if you have him 25 years and an unlimited budget to get the job done.
All this YouTube bellyaching boils down to “GIBS-ME-MO’-BILLIONS” of American taxpayer hard earned money. They can piss up a tree for all I care… I don’t want another American penny going over there.
This reads like it was written by Chat GPT and Google AI..
He is or was serving with the AZOV brigade, one of the ultranationalist (nazi) formations that was sent to Avdeevka as a Hail Mary to hold some positions ( as they tried in Azovstal in Mariupol) or possibly to get rid of them as a power play by Zelensky to rid the military of a unit loyal to his rival, Zaluzhny.
The Russians hit them hard with missiles on their deployment base before they ever saw battle, killing 300-600 of them ….then hit them again at the same base when they retreated after failing or refusing to sacrifice themselves at the coke plant. No love lost for the nazi formations.
AZOV “ elites” have not had the mission of covering retreats, that is high grade propo. The nationalists are usually a barrier force, held back from the frontline to the rear of the fighting, executing Ukr troops that try to retreat or surrender.
When Syrsky recognized that units were leaving the battlefield on their own, even the AZOVs, he ordered a retreat to “ save lives” ( more like, save face)
It will be interesting to read from future reports how much of the AZOV brigade survived or is reconstituted.
Btw, this American merc is lucky to have survived, others have been executed to cover their involvement
Yeah - mercenaries make the best “witnesses”...war is how they get their paychecks
Effing traitor to America. Signed up with Nazi forces. Here’s to hoping he gets whacked by an incoming missile.
This priceless statement HAD to be Chat GPT or a typical propagandist, “It takes WEEKS to teach American soldiers what Ukrainians are ABLE TO LEARN IN HOURS....They usually accomplish complex team-based tasks correctly on their first attempt.”
Also, the “letter” wasn’t written in American style of English. Nice Try!! Chat GPT is getting better.
