Stolen Valor:The U.S. Volunteers in Ukraine Who Lie, Waste and Bicker (NYT 2023 article Routh is mentioned)
NY Times ^ | 3/25/2023 | Justin Scheck

They rushed to Ukraine by the thousands, many of them Americans who promised to bring military experience, money or supplies to the battleground of a righteous war. Hometown newspapers hailed their commitment, and donors backed them with millions of dollars.

With Legion growth stalling, Ryan Routh, a former construction worker from Greensboro, N.C., is seeking recruits from among Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban. Mr. Routh, who spent several months in Ukraine last year, said he planned to move them, in some cases illegally, from Pakistan and Iran to Ukraine. He said dozens had expressed interest

We can probably purchase some passports through Pakistan, since it’s such a corrupt country,” he said in an interview from Washington.

It is not clear whether he has succeeded, but one former Afghan soldier said he had been contacted and was interested in fighting if it meant leaving Iran, where he was living illegally.

The Slimes was interviewing this guy in 2023. Zerohedge has an interesting article showing numerous legit MSM articles interviewing this guy. Why this guy? He seems very kooky. My guess is that some entity in the Biden regime hooked them up with the kook to push their Ukraine.agenda.

Can’t help but notice the Iran link here.

That would dovetail nicely with his antisemitism and support for Palestine.

Not that any Afghan who is opposed to the Taliban has time off to support Ukraine... that smells like BS.

But Iran more than anyone wants Trump dead.

I want to know where Alexander Vindman, the Ukrainian Trump hater, fits into this Routh case. His wife made the notorious statement after the shooting that no ears were damaged in this shooting so everyone needed to go back to enjoying their Sunday.

Who says he’s “a former construction worker?”

Sounds like a construct.

Oh I think it’s a long line.
Cartels, DNC, intelligence agencies, Ukraine, Iran, Russia, China, probably too many to list.

This guy sounds like the type who would want to shoot Trump. But would he up and do it on his own?

He’s involved. You know it.

His wife has already tweeted that there’s nothing to see here. Just a coincidence.

Alexander Vindman was one of many who I had in mind when I mentioned government entities.

Iran ping. Guy supports Palestine... also back in 2022: Ryan Routh, a former construction worker from Greensboro, N.C., is seeking recruits from among Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban. Mr. Routh, who spent several months in Ukraine last year, said he planned to move them, in some cases illegally, from Pakistan and Iran to Ukraine. He said dozens had expressed interest...

Guy went from a red headed, lean but fit guy to looking like a drug addict. Curious if he traveled, where did the money come from, and how he could travel in those areas without ending up like Levinsson as a gguest of the Haqqanis or the IRGC in an orange jumpsuit begging for help. Assuming he ever did do this.

This weirdo is a lowlife with a long criminal record. I’m not surprised at all that he’s a big Ukraine supporter. They want to kill Trump because he doesn’t want to waste billions on their corrupt country and the war they are losing. Trump better wise up and stop trusting people. Someone gave this guy information about where Trump would be at a specific time today. There’s no way this clown just guessed right

“He’s a Glowie.”

Agree. I’ve got enough experience with big media to know that they don’t just randomly pick people to interview. They are fed people, and that has to be the case here.

Man on the street interviews are often staged by journalists with agendas.

I believe it was a Ukraine attempt to get rid of Trump. Had CIA help.

Vindmen’s wife doubled down and became even nastier after her first evil remark.

People were absolutely annihilating that B over and over on X.

The Russian Derangement Syndrome is spreading- much like the Trump Derangement Syndrome. Confused, bored Americans.

Ya know, I’ve read this book/seen this movie.
