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.

So far Routh appears to be a guy searching for an identity, a big cause, his strange mental criminal record from the past, his trying to get into the Uke military and they steered him away from them, his freelancing recruiting with big dreams for “1000s” of Afghanis for Ukraine and to form a giant volunteer Legion for Taiwan yet he doesn’t seem to actually recruit anyone, everyone ignores him, and then today, which so far seems like another weird, uncompleted, bigger than life undertaking, I don’t know anything yet about his anti-Israel thinking.

When you look at that picture of him with his shirt up, he looks like a man who is eating himself up inside with nervous energy and mental confusion.

Very kooky.

Very anti-Israel.

He made up something called Taiwan foreign legion, he made a web site of it.

How does he get his money?

What is his job?

The stuff he supposedly does doesn’t seem to be real.

There’s no Taiwan Foreign Legion for example.

.id say he seems like a conman doing these fake recruitments and such to get contributions and donations etc…

But what he did today seems quite real.

I know a citizen got his license number. Did the police catch him?

The assassin is an obvious, glowing, SeeAyeHay operative, featured in their own principal media organ: NYT.

Oh, I think he knows exactly what would happen, and was slavering with delight over it.

Pretty much anyone not a whack job supports Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

The first two were attacked and the latter is always being threatened.

And if true, where does a former construction worker get the money, expertise, and connections to create an army of mercenaries?

Vindman / Ukraine / Iran / Vindman wife / Routh

Don’t forget that the only reason this assassin is in custody is because of some lady spotted him and took pics, otherwise he’d be holed up in some bathhouse somewhere with those other faggots that liked to travel around Pakistan - Barry Obama and his boyfriend, Mike Robinson

Kooky not for who he supports but for going to Ukraine and trying to kill Trump.

Read his Twitter feed. It’s still up. Kooky, crazy, nuts. You pick.

Like a scattered brain, semi-homeless guy with mental problems who didn’t have the focus of an Oswald, and shared only the same fantasy of being a man of meaning.

“”””And if true, where does a former construction worker get the money, expertise, and connections to create an army of mercenaries?””””

We know that was his fantasy, but did he actually get anything done or anyone to take him seriously?
