Ukrainian President Zelenskyy called on foreign fighters to defend against Russian attacks. Many weren't what the Ministry of Defense had in mind.

Hilarious piece from Businessinsider telling the story of couple of guys going to Ukraine to fight with the foreign legion. They barely survived without beeing in any battle. Goes home.

    It’s like Kyle Rittenhouse on a massive scale. They showed up to wave guns around and kill Russians and then act outraged that Kyiv expected them to actually behave like soldiers.

      Who the hell is Kyle Rittenhouse by the way? Saw it circulate somewhere in the muricah information space, but there was some weird vague shit about it.

        Some asshole. Kyle is a teenager who went to a protest with his adult militia buddies armed with an AR and then killed 2 protesters before maiming another. He got off scot free because the entire court case was biased in his favor and the prosecution was actively making themselves look stupid. I think it’s related to this because he went there looking for trouble, had an alibi ready, and pretended to be shocked when he ended up killing people.
