Bentley, a 64-year-old self-identified communist from Dallas, Texas, joined pro-Russian separatists in 2014 to combat Ukrainian forces. He went missing in the Russian-occupied city of Donetsk in April and was subsequently discovered dead.
Did he not know that Russia isn’t communist?!
Tankies aren’t communist. Neither are leninists. Their only ideological stance is to be anti west/America. Even if that means aiding fascists whom they have more in common with anyhow. Of which there’s historical precedence.
They do pretend to be communist though.
Absolutely. Like the economic liberals that larp as libertarians. What they call themselves and what they do are completely opposed.
Must be like the .ml "communist"s who love authoritarianism so much they’ll pretend state capitalism is leftist.
Why is a 64 year old going to war?
The four soldiers were arrested and will likely serve their sentence through forced military service on their tank. So yeah…
Might get sent to the front of the line if we’re lucky.
Dumbass Cowboy.
And nothing of value was lost
Hmm. A tankie finding their way to Russia? How? What possible connection to Russians could a 64 year old Texan have??? I’m so baffled!
Link to an article?
It links now. Lemmy spazzed out a lot
Didn’t upload my picture when I first posted
Removed the article link when I edited to add the picture
Cut off the edges of the picture when I edited to re-add the link
It’s close enough now, I give up
No worries, chief. Appreciate the effort! I see the link now.
If republicans were smarter they’d realize this is where their views get them
