Something’s not right with the story...
Supposedly he went to Ukraine in 2015 and according to thread’s ABC article he ‘spent years’ fighting for Ukraine... But then we are told he spent the last 5 years [2015 - 2019] traveling to a mile-long string of countries to ‘fight’... been everywhere from South Sudan in 2017, to Florida in April 2019, Mexico, and Columbia on an attempt to get into Venezuela. I think Spain too. Maybe they mean he was in Ukraine for only part of 2015 and possibly 2016, it doesn’t appear to be a long stretch of time.
Sounds more like a drug smuggler.
South Sudan’s jnteresting, that’s Sid Blumenthal country there.
Or a modern day freebooter.
