Trapped in the trenches of Ukraine ~ an extensive New Yorker Article ~ long and informative w/ pics

Made it through the first three paragraphs of horseshit . . . Military vet (Iraq, Afghanistan) with degree in Computer Science and Linguistics from Columbia University . . . He was disillusioned by President Trump and the social media, so he quit his job at Google and went to fight in Ukraine.

The author is quite impressed by his barrel chest, beard and scar on his neck from a bar fight in NC.

Blah, Blah, Blah . . . Vomit

Don’t be an airhead, Read the thing or don’t bother to comment… the author takes his time and takes you behind them scenes into combat with pictures and describes what is actually happening… it‘s brilliant but it takes more than the microsecond that you spent evaluating it.

Welcome to the Tug. Tweets are the coin of the realm. I welcome all but this place isn't always welcoming. Thanks for posting
 
I guess it’s hard for me to give 2 fucks to risk his life to go fight for the one of the most corrupt countries in the world. I do feel for the rank and file of Ukraine. It’s sad that their lives mean nothing to the MIC and those in Congress that enable them.

But that’s just the same as it ever was. Isn’t it.

Sorry, dude. I gave it my best shot. The author’s style of writing is flowery and overly descriptive. The author loved the nicknames (Doc, Turtle, etc.) of the various members of the International Foreign Legion and was certain to list their educational credentials . . .

I’m not interested in propaganda from either side in this fight.

We seem more interested in this proxy war than our NATO allies we are “protecting” . . . $$$ and manpower.

BTW: New ways of killing people don’t interest me much.

What did our wanna-be & real Commanders in Chief do when it was their turn to fight for their country, to wit: Bill Clinton (Vietnam); Joe Biden (Vietnam); Donald Trump (Vietnam)? I won’t even get into the dangers faced by John Kerry, George W. Bush (a pilot assigned to AF Reserves or National Guard stateside) and Al Gore in Vietnam.

Best of luck the rest of the way!

As an aside, please read the bonafides of the author before recommending horseshit.
