  1. Some Russian bots/sympathisers are trying to scare volunteers by saying they have no status, can be shot as bandits, etc.
    They are lying.
    Big surprise, right?

    Here is the position:

    All foreign citizens and stateless persons who take part in hostilities in the territory of Ukraine as part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are admitted voluntarily to military service under a contract in accordance with the 1992 Law of Ukraine "On Military Duty and Military Service". (Make sure you sign a contract.)

    Such persons are regular, uniformed soldiers; servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who, in accordance with the provisions of the Geneva Conventions for the Protection of Victims of War of 1949 and the Additional Protocols thereto, 1977, have the legal status of combatants. This status, among other things, gives such persons the right to be treated as prisoners of war in the event of falling into enemy hands. Their citizenship is not relevant to this status.

    Recall this: that the 1949 Geneva Conventions prohibit all illegal acts, including violence, intimidation or inaction against prisoners of war, and oblige the humane treatment of prisoners of war.
    Failure to comply with the relevant recognized norms of international humanitarian law is a serious violation of the Convention.

    This is not likely to worry the Russians, so the threats are true to that extent. Surprised their bots would admit that the Russians are a bunch of thugs. However, that is part of what you are fighting; part of the reason you are there in the first place. No one wants to be a poster boy for Russian inhumanity, but that is a way to serve too – getting more support for sanctions against Russia.

    You can’t tell, though. It might be politically convenient to be humane that week.In any case always remember, your status under international law is: Ukrainian solider. Regular, uniformed fighter.

    But whatever happens, you have decided it is worth the cost to be a solider. And take a soliders chances. Those who can not go will back you in their own country, any way they can. Including the medical expenses that some sneering bots say you will not get. The foundations are already being formed to do it, and much more: see the ‘volunteers for Ukraine’ website to find out how to help if you can’t volunteer.

    Ukraine will live.

    Slava Ukraini!

  2. Tyranny never sleeps the price of peace is eternal vigilance will it take a russian ambassador returning with a nuclear bomb in their brief case or in a fsa diplomatic immunity red pouch detonating it a mile from the capital rotunda to wake the sheep I don't believe us military soldiers sailors coast gaurd air force willingly put their lives in jeopardy knowing some will not come back I believe while there's a partial cease fire we should render medical assistance to soldiers of ukraine to some degree citizens although some or most of that humanitarian obligation is zelenskis but ukraine is the poorest part of Europe its easy to talk when no one is shooting at you you have water and a full stomach and your largest threat is are you going to get Laid off or the high price of gas
    Me I don't know
    There is a solution to everything and while time travel is certainly useful in avoiding mishaps and as hulk and ancient one discovered in creating a alternate future time dilation stretching out your 100 years while you debate putin and ukraine to avoid should have would have could have and 5 minutes passes outside your temporal dilation Island sanctuary and yes currently either we or extra terrestrial human genome beings you've gotten onto the capital rotunda elevator with stood 3 feet from and never knew currently possess this science you can do it because it's the right thing to do or because God ran out of patience and put his boot heal on the back of your neck you will not outlive him or her once you realize according to sacred text of Israelite Adam was created with a 1,000 year life span 1 24 hour day in Gods life so every Hour within God's life 42 years pass a perfect example of temporal dilation in human lives 42 years so most of us our life passes in 2 hours of God's life basically unless we merit it we are insignificant in God's existence a. Extra terrestrial who exists 1,000 years in God's life 12 times the life span of a human so also insignificant by nature of 1 days existence we are the 8th root race so he she has no issue with allowing us to destroy ourselves as a badly designed flawed experiment many ancient texts state God created 33 other multi universe worlds unknown how many other dimensional versions of these he she is responsible for every details synchronization so preoccupied doesn't even begin to cover it …yes he she cares deeply for everyone of us every moment of our lives but if we go off the trolley tracks and destroy ourselves what's 32 versions of earth instead of 33 empires rise and fall wars come and go get it into perspective people or like 7 enlightened root races before you will simply become a legend a myth we do not know if there's one devil per multi universal world or just one presiding over all of them time travel he she simply is amused why he she invented time

  3. RAH MY FELLOW MARINES! WHAT MAKES THE GRASSS GROW!?!?!? FUCKING BLOOOOOOOOOD! Make those Russians remember why they should of never took that first step into Ukraine!

  4. We can't let these Russians take over the world and do what they want to do with everyone it says alot that they won't let their own people see what is really going on on the news and that I feel so sorry for these poor people i really do we can't let them win no bloody way

  5. "also a veteran of Afghanistan"
    There is a special group of international elite mercenaries who essential to escalating ALL recent tensions and turning them into full wars. For the love of peace, please identify and kill them Putin!

  6. So, who houses and feeds him while he is there?
    So, we are supposed to go and fight with other people as civilians?
    No.
    Retired military here. Not a good idea to be an extra burden on others, while you 'help'.
    So many levels of wrong ass wrong.
    Why is this guy not fighting everywhere else?
    What an idiot. Just because you're a former marine, does not give you extra eyes and ears and it does not help to just fly over and hope your ass is helped while you "help".
