U.S. Marine Corey Nawrocki killed fighting for Ukraine: reports
An American former marine was killed last week while volunteering as a soldier in Ukraine after trying to reach the Bryansk region.
You're viewing a single thread.
Nawrocki spent 20 years in the Marine Corps before retiring in 2021, and was deployed on several missions to Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, and California.
Nawrocki, also known as "Fat Stacks" by his colleagues in the Marines, was a gunnery sergeant at the Marine Barracks Washington.
He died fighting for what he believed in, imperialism and fat stacks.
International Legion For the Defense of Ukraine
Families of fallen soldiers receive a compensation of 15 million UAH, which is approximately $400,000.
You get the standard pay of a Ukrainian soldier and it varies depending on the conditions of the service. Your payment will be in UAH currency to a local bank account. The approximate amount in USD is the following: $550 per/month behind the frontline, $1100 per/month for service in a dangerous zone, and up to $4800 per/month for combat deployment. Please note, that those numbers are just an approximation since exchange rates can change and also some roles and units receive additional bonuses.
Classic Ukrainian imperialism....
Also, classic enlisted soldier get rich quick scheme: dying just to get the death benefits.
Wait a minute...what now?
US imperialism, for which Ukraine is a pawn. This is the proxy war that the US has wanted for decades, with the goal of regime change and/or the Balkanization of Russia.
So what you're saying is that Russia has no agency, and their invasion of Ukraine is NOT it imperial in nature.
In fact, they're only seizing Ukrainian territory to add to their own, because of the United States. And that somehow negates any aspect of Russian imperialism.
Well that makes sense, because I know one thing about Russia, and that it's definitely not a stitched together country of conquered and subjugated people's.
Or, hear me out, maybe it's possible for both the United States and Russia, to wage imperial wars of aggression. Just because the United States is an imperial power, that doesn't preclude any other great powers from acting on their own delusions of empire.
So what you’re saying is is that Russia has no agency
I didn’t say that Russia has no agency.
their invasion of Ukraine is NOT it imperial nature.
Russia, if given its druthers, would be imperialist, but since it presently doesn’t, it presently isn’t. Putin tried to join NATO once, to join the imperialist club, but that was rejected, because the US wanted Russia Balkanized & plundered instead. Russia has figured out it’s better off allying with Global South countries than attempting imperialist adventures upon them. And this war has accelerated that allyship.
In fact, they’re only seizing Ukrainian territory to add to their own, because of the United States. And that somehow negates any aspect of Russian imperialism.
If history started in February of 2022, you might think that.
Well that makes sense, because I know one thing about Russia, and that it’s definitely not a stitched together country of conquered and subjugated people’s.
If you want to dig up ancient history like this, then that describes just about every European country, so I’m not sure what your point is.
Edit to add: inb4 NATO is a defensive alliance.
