President Donald Trump struggled to offer much sympathy for the families of about 100 Americans—many of them U.S. military veterans—who have died fighting in Ukraine. An estimated several thousand Americans have volunteered to fight for Ukraine since Russian dictator Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion in 2022, with at least 92 Americans killed as of September, The New York Times reported.
Following a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday to discuss a peace deal to end the war, Trump was asked about his message to the families of the fallen Americans. “The message is so obvious,” he replied. “What a shame. They died in a foreign country. And some are celebrated people, they’re very celebrated. But it’s so sad that a thing like that would happen.”

Since when is putting real bullets in real bodies larping? You’re going to be in for a rude awakening if shit gets real in your neck of the woods, while you’re convincing yourself it’s pretend others will be playing for keeps.
because war is horseshit and horrible. ukraine citizens can fight. until the US formally commits troops, US people volunteering are just fucking larping.
People choosing to fight for Ukraine are anything but larpers. They US is already allied with russia and theyve still chosen to fight for Ukraine.
right. thats my point. they are fighting for the good guys here but the US could by all “rights” rug pull and make it illegal to volunteer to another nations army. if it isnt already??
Legionnaires don’t care what a coward thinks. Go crack open a history book.
i reckon so. but those who volunteer to do war are just … doing profit making for capitalists anyway.
