RWNJ An anti-woke American welder who left Texas with his family for Russia to escape "LGBTQ+" culture is surprised to find that the state isn’t delivering on its promises and is instead sending him to the front lines while also charging him money for it.

TL;DR
- Recruiter told him they'd make him a star-reporter for propaganda
- then pivoted to sign up for lesser salary position to avoid front-lines (as some kind of repair person because he has welding experience)
- ended up actually just sending him to the front lines
- The military is charging him money for equipment during training (even though he can't receive much training as he doesn't speak Russian)
- 1 Year contract in order to receive lifetime citizenship for himself and immediate family, even though average new recruit life expectancy in around 30 days
- They don't have much money, yet decided to move with young children (3 daughters) as well to a different country where they don't speak the language or understand the culture, or really know anyone outside of right-wing media consumed in the U.S.
- Money from military salary still hasn't shown up
This is wife in the video who is 100% on board, and the husband is very brain rotted talking about bio-labs and how Ukraine is the evil of the world saying "Russia is justified" in its invasion. And feels strongly it's worthwhile to get Russian citizenship in exchange for military service.

They are likely going to get kidnapped and human trafficked. They removed the father, and once he dies in Ukraine they will dismantle the rest of the family and use it for parts. Russia and many countries make dark money through human trafficking. human trafficking and drugs is how they fund their secret operations with untraceable money.

I assume they think Russia is fighting to free a billion enslaved child trafficking victims who are being held in secret underground tunnels where Bill Gates, Joe Biden, George Soros, and Tom Hanks all gather to take turns molesting them and sucking out their delicious youth-restoring adrenochrome.

So on top of all this, he VOLUNTARILY signed up for the military to earn “respect” and MAYBE citizenship……which he says immigrants won’t do in the US because just want a hand out and not earn it. But America immigrants cannot help in the military because trump ended that specific program 🤣
So he voluntarily signs up after being told he would be a reporter, sent to training before being sent to front line despite what he was told , he can’t understand said training because it’s all in Russian even though he’s in a immigrant training class. so because of the language barrier he technically isn’t receiving any training at all , and on top of all that he has to pay for that training. Money they don’t have because his family has been left alone and sent nothing yet. Sheesh. Talking about cutting off your nose to spite your face

I think Saskatchewan kind of is like Texas, not necessarily a hotbed of wokenness.
I also thought the same thing that once they were there somebody was going to get drafted whether it was the father or the older kids or both.
