    Not that I'm saying he didn't sign up and wasn't over there; I don't think he's just a fantasist. I think your phrase "he may have had enough of the meatgrinder" is closest to the truth. I'm guessing he signed up as a merc, for whatever reasons, and then got confronted with the reality of the situation and slowly realised he needed to get out. Why he decided to go to Russia rather than back to the US is pretty weird though.

    The social media thing you mentioned is also a bit odd. I also noticed he had that one quote, something like, "We are sending them (UKR) all this money, we need to get control of our country" which is essentially the Republican main line.

    The RT interview seem to have somewhat used him to push their talking points (which may be closer to the truth than the UK/US/UKR versions) so all in all it comes over as fairly dodgy with a kernel of truth.

    Hopefully he gets well hidden as I'm sure various Ukranian (US?) hit squads that have been doing the various sabotage/assassination missions in Russia will be interested in catching up with him, especially if stays visible in the media.

    On a slightly related note, it will be interesting to see the memoirs that come out after this ends, assuming it ends without the world being destroyed. If you saw a torrent of this kind of thing I reckon that would change public opinion pretty quickly

    I'm definitely seeing a change in public opinion on the whole Ukraine thing even if it isn't widely spread yet. Part of it is spill over from the isolationist/Republican/Libertarian campaign but more and more people are starting to see and hear some of these more truthful revelations that suggest things are not as manichean as the mainstream media and politicans have been suggesting.
