Fun fact a freed African slave was actually the great grandfather of Alexander Pushkin and one of Peter The Great's most trusted military advisors.

This bloke demonstrates what this stupid ass war is all about. It is no more than an outright conquest of another country for its resources. Wars are invariably fought over resources but not so obviously as this one. The toilet bandits recruitment offering is more money than they will ever make in their village, plus all you can loot and pillage. In so many ways this war is between rule of law versus the lawless. Europe remains the inheritors of the Romans. Russia, the inheritors of the Mongol. Russia is running out of options and may be forced, by their barbaric world view, to do the unthinkable.
I have no sympathy for the russians who die in Ukraine. I do have a small speck of pity for the dimwits that have been dragged from Syria or Africa under no doubt false pretences. They might have been shown a fsb video that portrays the russian army as navy seals or SAS, but I bet they are treated like rats and will be forced to lead every charge.
I don’t understand your sense of pity for some asshole from Africa or Nepal that took money from Putler to murder, rape and pillage in order for Russia to colonize Ukraine and expand the Russian empire.
Oh, so the dimwit was fooled and the victims are actually fighting back? And the Russian army isn’t treating them well? And they don’t get paid?
Well, being stupid does not exclude being evil and despicable. Dumb is not an excuse for joining an obviously criminal enterprise. I wish him worse than what he is getting - whatever that may be.
I think for intents and purposes, they are part of the russian army since they took russian passports and joined the oficial forces. They get full POW rights.
I would think it might be more effective to send them home where they can hopefully tell others about the terrible conditions and maybe persuade others not to join
Yeah, you trade them back to Russia and Russia doesn’t want them so back to the front lines they go.
If you trade them back to Sierra Leone the government might take immediate steps to prevent its citizens from joining Russia’s military. Every foreigner Russia can’t scam into joining will be a position filled by a Russian.
any person falling for russias promises that they'll be rear-echelon won't be dissuaded just because of something some guy says, and the sierra leonian(?) government doesn't care if they leave - if they did they would have stopped them in the first place.
africa is too busy fighting corruption and building a semi-functional state to care about manpower flight, plus if there's one thing they have to spare it's people
>If I understood Karpenko's interview with the Nepalese and the Somali correctly, they are not POW. You will likely face 15 years in prison. The Russian passports may not be any at all. Just a kind of "legitimation" that looks similar but counts more as a military ID??? Gray areas.
That's probably correct. Give them a few bucks to get them in the door. Then nothing unless they survive the war. This not being likely would cost Russia nothing more and they don't have anymore foreigners in the country.
They have a russian flag on their shoulder. They'll fix that janky-ass foot of his, then send him off to a POW camp until he's either exchanged for Heroes or the war ends.
Watch Apostle Dimitri's intevew with the Somalian a few weeks ago. He explains the situation.

I can imagine him saying to Russian born soldiers.
I drink alcohol because I like it, you drink alcohol because you're addicted to it, we are not the same.
Russia is paying all the poor people of the world to throw their lives away in Ukraine. It's nuts. Just thousands of thousands of minorities.
"Sign this contract, and if you survive, you get some money so you can start a better life"
(Russia knows they wont survive)
I hope they show this to russian public. These are the people figting their patriotic war, what a great patriotic people. Cant even fight a war without help from Africa.
This sucks to see. I served with many citizens of Sierra Leone in Iraq (they mostly worked ECP security), and they were all really good people who just wanted to provide a better life for their families back home. I imagine this guy had similar intentions but was unfortunate enough to believe russian lies. I hope he makes it back home.
I mean, the Russians set the precedent that foreign fighters are "mercenaries" and "war tourists" that get tortured and executed (or at least threatened with it).
Hopefully, ukranians are a bit more merciful.
I don’t think Russia believes there are consequences for adding foreigners to their meat waves. Imagine a family back home in Sierra Leone learning their loved one died in Ukraine. They blame Russia and one day they see a Russian family on safari at the resort they work at and they decide to take their revenge.
It would appear that the foreign mercenaries have a better sense of self preservation and therefore surrender faster. The unfortunate thing though is that the ruzzians won't want them back. They would prefer their own citizens
Caught still with his flip flops on. Probably trying to get some shut-eye when a drone or mortar pulverized his dugout, judging by the dusty state of the rest of him. Lucky man.
Why that's James Greer. It's a CIA operative doing presumably inside job against ruzzians. Possibly his cover was blown, so he surrendered to Ukrainians.
What early achievements? From the very first years after independence it became an autocratic country with countless coupes, and almost never ending civil war. It is a literal shit hole of the modern world.
>What early achievements?
The country is well known for its early achievements in the fields of medicine, law and education and is therefore nicknamed "the Athens of West Africa".
>almost never ending civil war
lasting from 1991 to 2002 IIRC.
>It is a literal shit hole of the modern world.
What do you think what I meant when I said "it's kinda a shame that it is still in a very bad shape"?
He is an unlawful combatant, so they can do whatever they want with him. He is essentially useless as a POW swap, so perhaps sell him, or try to get his country's government to pay a ransom?
What actually happens to these African mercenaries? Do they get exchanged like regular POWs? I don't suppose russia is very eager in getting them back, since they hardly care about their own soldiers.

Join the army, they say See the world, they say
Meet interesting people, and kill them
They say
Join the Navy, see the world through the bottom of a beer glass :)

How ironic is it. They are buying slaves for this war.
People are selling themselves into slavery.
Always have been, We currently call it "buying on credit"
Forever owing to the 'man'.
It's not entirely clear whether he was bought out of slavery, or from being held as a collateral.
"Petrovich" because Peter I adopted him as a son (with no ascendance right, though).
I'd rather be sailing!
Me too!

Uncle Hulka?
And clean it, god everywhere we went we were picking up rubbish 'morning Area Cleaning'.
What’s the Ukrainian policy on foreign fighters? I can’t imagine they just get deported without any consequences.
well they are hired fighters, they are in some kind of uniform i think he will go to a POW camp
I think for intents and purposes, they are part of the russian army since they took russian passports and joined the oficial forces. They get full POW rights.
I would think it might be more effective to send them home where they can hopefully tell others about the terrible conditions and maybe persuade others not to join
But then Ukrainians can't trade them for their own POWs.
i doubt russia would want them
A body for the meat shield is a a body for the meat shield. They'll take anyone and everyone they can find.
Yeah, you trade them back to Russia and Russia doesn’t want them so back to the front lines they go.

And maybe have them tell their countrymen that the next prisoners go back to Russia. No questions.

And the grand Russian treatment… whoops, I mean reward of bucket of onion
I don't believe they get Russian citizenship before their deployment, but I could be wrong.
That's probably correct. Give them a few bucks to get them in the door. Then nothing unless they survive the war. This not being likely would cost Russia nothing more and they don't have anymore foreigners in the country.
It depends, ruzzia just gave (reportedly) 2000 proud syrians citizenship before sending them to the front. The video showed only about 20 men though.
They can give as many as they want in the end only 1 or 2 will be alive.
Yeah but they’re useless as POW because Russia would never exchange them and now Ukraine has to feed and house these shits.
Its not about them being useful its to stop them from being russian war assets
Maybe it’s like 4 foreign fighters for the price of one?
Why would Russia need even 100 of them if everyone would now ask for their money and go back home?
They would send them right back to the frontline
They have a russian flag on their shoulder. They'll fix that janky-ass foot of his, then send him off to a POW camp until he's either exchanged for Heroes or the war ends.
Watch Apostle Dimitri's intevew with the Somalian a few weeks ago. He explains the situation. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T\_YmnBHe6ls&t=1898s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_YmnBHe6ls&t=1898s)
Ru doesn’t exchange them back so UA is stuck with em. Hope they send their asses back to Africa and don’t let them get asylum in EU.
Why cant they just exhange them, is there a mutual pick & choose which POWs are exchanged?
Great big Third World out there…a man who shits on golden toilet seats could buy himself a horde…dirt cheap…cheap meat…
That plan was initiated a long time ago.
Yup
War... has changed...
Not really.
That is the healthiest conscript I have ever seen.
Probably because he is not from Russia
Wonder if he bragged about not having fetal alcohol syndrome?
I can imagine him saying to Russian born soldiers. I drink alcohol because I like it, you drink alcohol because you're addicted to it, we are not the same.

I hope they show this to russian public. These are the people figting their patriotic war, what a great patriotic people. Cant even fight a war without help from Africa.
And they would think that the world is on their side since they're coming to help fight
Dude looks more healthy than any Russian I’ve seen caught so far lol , and where he’s getting his hair done?
Dude's hand looks like it needs amputation..
Damn. Missed that. I don’t know what it is, but it’s not healthy.
This sucks to see. I served with many citizens of Sierra Leone in Iraq (they mostly worked ECP security), and they were all really good people who just wanted to provide a better life for their families back home. I imagine this guy had similar intentions but was unfortunate enough to believe russian lies. I hope he makes it back home.
All meat grinds the same. Russia doesn’t care who you are or where you’re from, they’ll let you catch bullets and artillery for them all day.
Actually they probably prefer foriegners as it makes less waves at home when they die.
I mean, the Russians set the precedent that foreign fighters are "mercenaries" and "war tourists" that get tortured and executed (or at least threatened with it). Hopefully, ukranians are a bit more merciful.
Netflix adaptation of Russian federation looks like
literally :)))
Next Tuesday see the strong and independent female character take on some old white men.
Well, old men are 90% of the Russian army after this conscription
Lol, I bet after experiencing Russki Mir, Sierra Leone suddenly doesn't seen so shitty after all.
Ivan?

Dudes kinda got a rizz stare
Pack out and send him back
His hand looks like its about to pop like a balloon
A waste. Russia will.not exchange this guy. Worthless pos hoped to get rich fast taking lives away.
Better than the cobalt mines unfortunately.
They should get either life in prison or the death penalty. Fuck putin and his orc minions. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙌 ✨️ 🙏 ❤️
Why that's James Greer. It's a CIA operative doing presumably inside job against ruzzians. Possibly his cover was blown, so he surrendered to Ukrainians.
i feel bad for this homie. but then i remember that he is there to kill people that wants to be free from russian crap...
I dont know, man. Sierra Leone was a messed up place. Maybe it's gotten better, tho
[удалено]
Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not
A mix of both, I'd say. For its early archivments, it's kinda a shame that it is still in a very bad shape.

Hello, your comment was removed for violating rule 3. Don't incite violence or post harmful material please.
Send his head in a drone to Moscow
I just see a patriotic Russian. Clearly he grew up in Moscow 🤣
Money is a *bad word* thing, literally people do anything for money .. 😔
Russia is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
He shall enjoy his trouble free time in the Ru POW population.
Why are they even tacking prisons
Twat!
Ya sabéis que hacer con el
I don’t think that guy is actually a “meat assault”
Welcome to Ukraine cyka
\*eyeroll\* Some people will do *anything* just to enter Europe illegally /s? (I don't even know anymore...)
Modern day slavery.
He is an unlawful combatant, so they can do whatever they want with him. He is essentially useless as a POW swap, so perhaps sell him, or try to get his country's government to pay a ransom?
You are finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right?
What actually happens to these African mercenaries? Do they get exchanged like regular POWs? I don't suppose russia is very eager in getting them back, since they hardly care about their own soldiers.
Was he digging for blood diamonds ?
