    Liberals are too stupid to understand how tragic this all is. None of these conflicts are worth dying for, and it’s all about rich people and their investments. Fucking disgusting.

      By the end ‘he loved russia’ and he had fully believed the ‘conspiracies’. It is sad a soul has bled this earth amiss the political manipulations and turmoil. However he was happy in his service, happy in his bloodshed.

      Let us be happy in his death, for now more shall live because he no longer wields weapons worth waging war.

      Umm your home being invaded and your friends and family being tortured, raped and murdered is like one of the very few things worth dying for, no?

      We know that. Tell the dead guy.

      I feel bad that he was duped and all, but there’s only so much good will to go around.
