An Army vet from Connecticut who joined up with Ukraine’s military to fight the Russians has shared a now-viral video of himself standing in front of bombed smoking Kremlin tanks.

James Vasquez, 47, publicly declared his plan to leave his family and business in Norwalk on Feb. 24 — the day that Russia invaded its eastern neighbor.

Why is he retweeting Klitschko? He’s the mayor of Ukraine who also used to be in the Azov Battalion. Apparently this American “volunteer” is also a neo Nazi at heart. 🤣

I believe https://twitter.com/jmvasquez1974?lang=en is the valid twitter. Other accounts are imposters trying to get people to venmo money to imposter accounts.

Azov Battalion is fighting the Russians.

I don’t care if they are neo-nazis or not.

Killing the invaders is top priority.

In one of his videos of mangled bramble covered smoking Russian tanks, and an armored vehicle, someone pointed out that the grill configuration that was visible was Ukrainian, not the Russian configuration.

So much wag the dog crap going on in this mess. I found the tweet:

If this is propaganda, which I doubt, it is very inspiring and good to know such men live among us. Hope he is never captured and stays safe.
