Foreign legions I feel are only a tiny part of the equation of the totality of the war and more of an online phenomenon but I wanted to talk about it anyway. It seems like many fascists from all over the world, even Brazil, have decided to congregate in the meat grinder that is the front line of Ukraine’s resistance. Glorification of these volunteers is not limited to the reddit/twitter sphere. Some mainstream outlet published a report on how a Canadian sniper with the pseudonym Wali is travelling to help Ukraine.

I am not sure how they were weighing the strength of their enemy but it seems like Russia has obliterated the training camp for these foreign volunteers. So they are completely outmatched.

Some other comments in that subreddit were claiming that foreign volunteers were being asked to be cannon fodder. No idea how true that is but it fits into the big picture.

It is a bit spine-tingling how willingly fascists around the world have decided to dump their lives down the gutter while there hadn’t been a peep for all the NATO backed conflicts.

    The western propaganda machine has created thousands of euro-amerikkkan supremacist fighters willing to give up their lives for NATO for free. Very scary that reddit allows that warfare tourist sub to exist.

    We’re just lucky that russia is able to take out this trash, because its that many less white-supremacist soldiers we’ll have to deal with.
