Traitor Brits fighting for PUTIN in Ukraine branded ‘an absolute disgrace’ amid calls for them to be jailed

TWO traitorous Brits have been branded an "absolute disgrace" for proudly fighting against Ukraine for Vladimir Putin's brutal army.

A former British Army Colonel has demanded the pair be jailed - and they could face prison time if they ever return to the UK.

Ben Stimson, 48, from Oldham, has shared videos online from the grim frontline where Ukrainian soldiers are giving up their lives to rid their country of Russian invaders.

Brazenly flaunting his Russian military gear in one clip, Stimson waves around the Kremlin's flag and gloats: "Yes, yes, I'm back in Russia. I'm back in uniform."

He even produces an unexploded grenade, taken from a captured Ukrainian stockpile, taunting that he's holding "British taxpayer returns".

In one he says: "Every man takes his choice… a lot of us, the foreign volunteers, have chosen to come over to this side, to the Russian side."

His furious dad last night said he had disowned his embarrassment of a son.

Stimson, who has previously been convicted for terrorism after helping pro-Russian separatists, is not the only Brit fighting for Putin's ruthless thugs.

His “best British friend in the Russian army” is convicted felon Aiden Minnis from Chippenham.

A former National Front member who was jailed for a racist attack, he told the Mirror he is also now a “sapper in the Russian army”.

“UK is not at war with Russia”

Not yet but in a year or so it probably will be. So they’re just getting ahead of things by going after them now.

That’s exactly my take on it. If the U.K. hasn’t officially declared war on Russia, and hasn’t sent U.K. troops to Ukraine, then how can a U.K. citizen fighting for Russia be declared a traitor?

On the battlefield Ukraine=NATO=Britain. Proxy war, my big toe! If a British mercenary is fighting on the Russian side he is fighting against an unprovoked, undeclared British war against Russia. I can see the British point that the guy is a traitor to the British globalist war machine.

But, but but, I thought the Russians invaded Ukraine to “fight Nazis”.

Seems like now they are recruiting them. How desperate.

The current British government is one I would find difficulty being loyal to.

Is there a dime’s worth of difference between the Woke UK and Putin in Russia?

Typical leftist warped thinking.

First, you have to pretend something exists that really doesn’t. [UK is at war with Russia, weather changes are caused by industrialization, men can give birth - you get the idea].

Then you insist, loudly and without comprise, that the thing that doesn’t exist is moral justification to attack the oppostion, demand they be jailed, removed from social media, bankrupted, whatever.

Highlight selective but misleading claims, and ignore all other evidence. Everything not aligned with the fantasy is a conspiracy theory.

Then demand that those who fail to adopt their fantasies, or ask a question about them, are criminals and degenerates.

This is the idiocy we have to deal with.

You answered your own question. UK is a woke cesspool whereas Russia holds all that is woke in contempt.

Is this an admission that the Brits are at war with Russia?

That's absurd. Russia has 13% flat tax rate, banned the LGBT agenda, kicked George Soros out of its country, rejects the green agenda, defines marriage as between and man and a woman and doesn't allow sex changes on kids.

Russia, by no measure, is left-wing country.

Let me ask one first. If there is still a “Britain,” why is there a Pakistani Muslim flag playing over Westminster Abbey during Easter week? Surely if they were simply honoring some state business in Pakistan, the flag could have been flown over a purely secular state building.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/03/britain-conquered-pakistani-flag-flown-westminster-abbey-during/

So, no, I don’t see much difference, although Putin within recent years has described Russia as a Christian country, something not many British officials state about Britain. I guess that could be a difference.

So, unless the British are fighting a secret, undeclared war in Ukraine, its hard to see how these two guys could be guilty of treason. That is assuming there is a Britain to commit treason against.

I’m not commenting on the right or wrong of either Russia or Ukraine, just thinking about the treason question.

------------------

Yeah. Putin isn't trying to destroy his Heritage population and replace them with non-white Third World immigrants.

Nor is Putin trying to destroy his own energy, electrical, natural gas systems, and trying to shut down his own farms to freeze and starve his own population.

"At least we still have the Magna Carta !"

Precisely, and likely what pushed these men.

“...how can a U.K. citizen fighting for Russia be declared a traitor?”


Don’t know if he can be, but remember that the British definition of ‘treason’ might be quite different than the U.S. Constitutionally-defined definition. In fact, the Founders defined treason in the Constitution because the charge was so abused in Britain.

Who's the traitors? People fighting on behalf of Russia or Ukraine? People, companies, and governments buying products and services from Russia or Ukraine, which is funding their war?

I am sure there are citizens of many countries fighting or supporting each country's war effort.

Countries (e.g., India, China, EU countries) are buying Russian oil, etc., others buying Ukrainian products.

Again, who or are all traitors?
