Alleged would-be Trump assassin Ryan Wesley Routh rolled up in Ukraine last year looking to fight the Russians and make an impact — but was quickly rejected and pushed aside after being dubbed a “wack job” and “off” by the more serious foreign fighters in the country, several sources involved in the volunteer effort said.
While some had interacted with him personally, others told The Post they knew his “type” and were “not at all surprised by it.”
“A crazy idiot, but no one’s really surprised. There are people like that that show up and are desperate to help and be important,” one American fighting for Ukraine told The Post. “And he was just one of those – just on the crazier end of things.”
The American fighters and volunteers who spoke to The Post requested anonymity for fear of Russian doxxing.
Routh, 58, had no military experience, but traveled to Ukraine around March 2023 thinking he could help out in the war effort, anyway.
One volunteer told The Post that Routh’s alleged use of a GoPro when he staked out Trump was particularly telling of his problematic connections to Ukraine, saying that “there’s too many clout chasers” among foreign visitors to Ukraine.
“A lot of the people that are here are not really here for Ukraine, they’re not really here for the war. They’re here to kind of be famous or live out a fantasy or feel like they’re a part of something,” the volunteer said.
“Ukraine for them is kind of like their chance to finally make it. I think unfortunately that for the vast majority of them, that’s not helping.”

Wow, Marcus… you made bail! /sarc
The best hope for Ukraine would be Trump 2.0. Trump is not a fan of endless wars. So he would do his best to negotiate an acceptable peace treaty.
Trump has mentioned all this. It’s not a secret. Given that, why would a pro-Ukraine guy attempt to kill Trump? It makes no sense, unless something deeper is going on here.
And I do think something deeper is going on here.
LOL
“Sure, Jan!”
Here is a brain dead Z asshat who was radicalized by the exact same administration lying Russophobe garbage you’ve been slinging around here for 30 months.
My God, I was reading excepts from his “book”. My immediate reaction was “hey, did marcus post this?”.
Who is Routh’s handler?
This guy has CIA-operative written all over him.
https://x.com/visegrad24/status/1835499461881078153
1. Writes Ukrainian presidential advisor Podolyak that he, Ryan Routh, will personally buy Poland’s MiG-29 fighter jets and then “fly them at night just above ground and hit every place Putin sleeps”
4. Writes Sean Penn with a request that Sean and Ryan but Poland’s MiG-29 fighters jets together and then go together to borrow some Patriot Missile Defense Systems at the border.
“How can they say no to you?”
6. Goes to Taiwan to offer them “50 000 Afghan soldiers”
8. Tries to write to the head of Hong Kong’s local government Carrie Lam hoping that she will make him “her private American advisor at no cost”
He believes that he and Carrie Lam can sit down with the protesting students and “find solutions”
9. Writes the Belarusian opposition during the street protests in the wake of the falsified presidential election in 2020.
Advises them to “buy sniper rifles from Amazon”
11. Writes the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council that he has 20 000 Afghan and Syrian soldiers that could come to Ukraine to fight against Russia.
CIA operative? What would his role be as a CIA man?
**The guy was in search of a cause and for someone, anyone, somewhere, anywhere, to pay attention to him.**
Kinda reminds me of someone-guess who?
John F. Kerry (who served in Viet Nam).
Crooks, Routh, Oswald.
I noticed he has ladders on his truck in Hawaii. It appears he probably does free estimates of how much it would cost to get him to help you win your war.
John Kerry was never a nobody, he was always a man with a future and a plan, top universities, degrees, Naval Officer, prominent activist, testifying before congress.
This guy couldn’t find anyone to pay attention to him or take his fantasies seriously.
A lot of cash in that lifestyle he led, he declares 3 grand a month but has a lifetime of working where cash is king if he wants to operate that way.
**John Kerry was always a man with a future and a plan, top universities, degrees, Naval Officer, prominent activist, testifying before congress.

Aa poor man’s John Kerry.
I don’t get how you elevate this guy to high society and lifetime success but have fun.
Snickering in hound.....
LOL
If you are pro-Uk you are in the bag same as the Bidens. Uk is all about money laundering and sex trafficking. Has been for years. The ones defending it are profiting from it. Not just institutionally, like the MIComplex, personally.
