Moscow has tried to hide its support for pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine, but some social media posts from a Russian soldier may reveal even more direct involvement in the region.
Over at BuzzFeed, reporter Max Seddon has the scoop on a 24-year-old soldier named Alexander Sotkin, who has been posting some very interesting photos of his military service, and the locations of the photos are rather telling.
While Seddon has embedded a number of Sotkin's photos, which show him in southern Russia taking selfies, it's this one the communications specialist posted, in rebel-controlled Krasna Talycha in east Ukraine, that's most intriguing:

Hehehee, are you the Breaking News policeman now? Your plate is full, dude, stick to being one of the Putinista apologist.

I don’t know if standards are that loose in that exact unit but this jerk doesn’t look like a member of a Russian military. Starting from that prison tattoos and hairdo and up to a crazy eyes indicating a drug abuse.
Not to mention 24 yo is too old for a conscript military considering his alleged rank.

Who really cares when we have an enemy combatant and his minions running our country. Focus inside instead of stories about Russian bogeymen. Maybe we can ask Russian troops to seal our border with mexico?
I would agree very strongly, except that we promised to protect Ukrainian territorial integrity in return for them giving up their nukes.
But the idea of initiating conflict with the current leadership makes me physically ill.
I have already seen these, thank you!
Or maybe the drug cartels can ask them to come with them as they invade our southwestern states.
I know these folks favor Putin’s neo-Russian empire but am surprised they’d want them on our border.
Post by post they show us who they really are — Russian Communist infiltraitors.
Let Germany protect them. Germany certainly owes them after being unable to prevent the reoccupation of the Ukraine in 44 by the soviets. I doubt they have the stones after their passion for war was beat out of them largely by the Russians.
Besides, odingo always breaks his promises.
I agree. The Left used to have this problem and now the Right does.
I guess you prefer zero’s Muslim communist empire?
No, and you’d have to be a real idiot to think that if someone opposes Putin he must support Obama. I’ve said this a few times. I would have opposed Hitler, Stalin, and FDR as a principled conservative.
Recall the old saying “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. Zero and his nwo masters are enemy number 1 for the american people. Putin is a distraction. If you do not see this I cannot help you.
You’re right. I don’t subscribe to lowbrow cliches. You cannot help me.
My thoughts exactly.
We, not the Germans, made the promise - back in the Clintoon Administration. It would be nice if we could keep our word.
