Lira, 55 at the time of his death, lived in Kharkov and blogged as 'CoachRedPill,' but switched to YouTube commentary after the conflict with Russia escalated in February 2022. He was arrested by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) last May and accused of "discrediting" the Ukrainian leadership and the military.

"I cannot accept the way my son has died. He was tortured, extorted, incommunicado for 8 months and 11 days and the US Embassy did nothing to help my son.

Biden is indebted to Ukraine. He does everything they tell him under the terms of their agreement. There is no way he’s going to hold Ukraine accountable. Besides, what does he care about Americans?

Biden had no problem picking up the phone to bail out Hunter re Burisma, but no time for an innocent American.

Can you imagine if Brittney Griner as much as broke a fingernail in a Russian prison?

The family should have told the State Department that their son was a trans and wanted to get home to have his dick whacked off... The State Department knows who matters and who doesn't...

Hollywood can add this man’s death to their death count. Hollywood celebutards fell all over each other gushing support for a globalist like Zelensky.

After years of watching the democrat leadership abandon US citizens overseas in dangerous, hostile situations, how does this surprise you?

True, but he was a pain in the butt for the Neocons, so at least they’re happy to be rid of him.

Nothing the Russians inflict on Ukraine can be too severe after this.

I presume that you believe the reverse is true also. Ukraine can't do anything too severe to Russians based on their treatment of Ukrainians in their jails.

Do you agree with that?

The Ukrainian prisoners in Russia are treated better than our J6 prisoners are.

But, the point here is that Lira was a US CITIZEN and it is outrageous that given a death sentence by a country we've spent $100 billion on.

Ukraine needs to cease to exist.

His trial a few weeks ago was conducted with Lira in the prison hospital for pneumonia.

For those over fifty, not in greatest health, pneumonia is a serious health risk.
