Anti-Woke Dad Who Moved Family to Russia Sent to War Zone

Derek Huffman, 46, joined the military with hopes of becoming a Russian citizen. His wife said he was duped into a combat role.

From what I read, part of the reason she deleted the video was because ol' girl was spouting some claims the Russian government was probably not fond of and told her to take it down. I'm sure though, that she then reminded them of her right to free speech conservatives love so much, just before the Russian authorities laughed & said it wasn't a request.

Moves to a country that has actively been at war for several years, joins the military despite having no prior experience and not even understanding that country's language, somehow is surprised that military just uses him as untrained cannon fodder, ruins his entire family's lives in the process. Oh, and this...

Huffman moved his family to a village outside Moscow in spring. It was launched by American blogger Tim Kirby—who has lived in Russia for two decades—in 2023 to attract Americans seeking to escape the “liberal gender norm.” That project has been a flop, with United24Media reporting that only two families, including the Huffmans, have moved in.

You mean uprooting your family to move half way across the world to support someone else's political agendas isn't working out for you personally? YA DON'T SAY.

"Illegal migrants don't assimilate so I'm going to take my family and join a foreign fighting force... without learning the language."

I sense a future as hamburger. MAGA isn't sending their best.

MAGA isn't sending their best.

That might actually be MAGA's best. If not, one of their better ones.

An extremely rare case of 'doubly negative nominative determinism' - Neil Hopper has both legs amputated... so he can no longer kneel, or hop? And he's now being accused of fraud, and facilitating unnecessary amputations??

If true, he doesn't have a chance of winning that case!

Yeah, I don't think it'll stand up in court...

Dude doesn't have a leg to stand on.

These allegations could really hobble the case for his defence or even cut it off at the knees.

I'm mystified over why someone would do this. Positively stumped.

He wanted to get a leg up on all comers to the challenge.

Don't worry, ICE will track him down and have him on the first flight home.

No-body could find them? 🤔
It'll be thrown out of court anyway as there's no chance of corpus delecti.

So this is very funny but it's also predictably prompting "but a bakery can refuse to sell to gays" responses that hit wide of the mark. The fundamental at-issue in Masterpiece is that a custom wedding cake is absolutely an expressive work and no individual should be compelled by the state to express themselves in a manner that goes against their beliefs (even if one believes that homosexuality is a sin and that child sexual abuse is not). There was no refusal to provide neutral service, as retail sale, in defiance of Colorado law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation in public accommodations.

Just the way George Washington wanted it.

This was a very funny bit. Even the second time around.
