Texan Moved Fam to Russia to Flee Woke—Now He’s Headed to Ukraine Front Line

Pinning this post for two days or until whenever I remember to unpin it because I got a report reading "Rule 1—this is not remotely LAMF".
It's textbook leopards. This man moved to Russia because he liked the way they eat LGBTQ+ people's faces and was blindsided when his face got eaten.
The only thing that isn't funny about this is that innocent Ukrainians have to fight him now.
Russia is a backwards, imperialist, genocidal septic tank of a country.
Die mad.
- die mad
  Fuck I love this site so much more than the "you've been permanently banned for inciting violence, and we deleted your comment so you can't know what you said, and furthermore we will not be reviewing any appeal cause we dgaf about users." site
  
  All that we are deleting the comment thing really annoys me. They even link your post in the "you have been banned" notice. And it leads to exactly nothing because at the same moment they delete your post. What's the point of linking said post if it's not available any longer. Im advocating violence fairly often, how the hell am I supposed to remember what I got banned for?
  
  Ahh Reddit. I do not miss that garbage fire.
  
  lemmy.world?
- Blindsided
  
  Agh, I looked at it and thought it looked wrong but got too arrogant to look it up. Appreciated.
- The only thing that isn’t funny about this is that innocent Ukrainians have to fight him now.
  It's still kind of grimly funny if you think about those Ukranians' opponent being some dumbass who didn't even get taught how to soldier in a language he understood before he was scraped from the bottom of the barrel and turned into their cannon fodder.

So he was stupid enough to move to Russia, and she was stupid enough to take her kids and go with him.
As it turns out, being wilfully stupid can be fatal.
- Darwin Award candidate.
  
  He already reproduced. At this point natural selection only cares about the fate of his children
- He is cannon fodder, and his children will be too in a few years. So sad.
  
  I do feel bad for the kids. It’s not their fault that their parents are fucking idiots.

Wow, that's a huge lesson he's learning, you need to do a little research.
“The point of this act for me is to earn a place here in Russia,” he told Russian state media last month. “If I risk myself for our new country, no one will say that I am not a part of it. Unlike migrants in America who come there just like that, do not assimilate, and at the same time want free handouts.”
Undocumented migrants cannot join the U.S. military during peacetime. A program launched by former President George W. Bush allowed such immigrants to seek citizenship by serving in the military, but that pathway was shuttered during President Donald Trump’s first term.
- Are the migrants wanting handouts he refers to the ones who are working low paying physical jobs that Americans refuse to do, sending most of that money back to their families still in their native countries? What a bunch of freeloaders. /s
  
  More like the women who wouldn't have sex with him for free.
  
  They also don't get any federal handouts. Anything they do get is from state programs in a handful of blue states.
  
  Yeah the "handouts" usually require documentation.
- So you said that all in Russian right?
  
  Yeah, I somehow doubt that. I bet he still eats hamburgers as well.
- Also, having a service record hasn't stopped ICE one little bit.
- And even if they could, it wouldn't save them, as being "one of the good ones" does nothing to prevent deportation or worse.
- As a vet, tRump doing this pissed me off almost as much as anything else he did in his first term. Some of the most ardent service(wo)men I served with were part of this program around 2006-ish. Many of them stayed in past their required terms (which I think had to be 8-years if I'm not mistaken), unlike myself and others looking to get through college debt-free.
  If you're willing to put your life on the line for a country you aren't currently a citizen of, you deserve to be a citizen of that country on the other side of that service.
- "Unlike migrants in America who come there just like that, do not assimilate, and at the same time want free handouts.”
  Ah, so he has learned the Russian language to a degree at least approaching fluency?
  As has his wife?
  And he has been teaching his kids Russian as well?
  He does, after all, very seriously consider language as a fundamental element of a nation's culture:
  https://usa.news-pravda.com/usa/2025/06/05/323684.html
  [Regarding Huffman's stance on the Russo-Ukraine conflict, as of ~6 weeks ago]:
  They took away their language and their religion from these inhabitants. They were oppressed, they tried to suppress their Russian culture. You can't do that. I believe that the residents of Donbass are full members of a large Russian family. To tell the truth, I can't fully understand what the Ukrainian government didn't like, but I think it was just harassing the residents of Donbass. President [of Russia Vladimir] Putin tries to protect those whom he sees as members of his family, his brothers.
  Hey... wait a minute...
  [From another part of the article]:
  ... - emphasized the interlocutor of the "First Russian".
  No, of course he doesn't speaking any fucking Russian, he's a dumbass gun nut hyperconservative from Texas, he most likely can barely even speak English.
  Ah you see, Americans who move abroad, no no, they aren't immigrants... they are ex-pats, which is a totally different thing guys, for real.
  What a fucking idiot.
  I feel bad for his soon to be orphaned kids.
  And dog.
  Not his at least equally stupid wife though.
- He's MAGA, he doesn't know how to research.

”It didn’t come as a surprise to me,” she said of his joining the military. “He always spoke so highly of the country, its president, and its people, and he has a strong passion for doing the right thing.”
That's a weird way to spell crimes against humanity, but I guess there's that Texan scholastic excellence for you.
- The right thing, killing your fellow man.
- That book depository in Dallas is actually a large dumpster, didn't you know?
  
  Wake up babe, new JFK assassination conspiracy just dropped.
  
  I think the book depository would be a good bet. The book depository. Depository. Depository. DepositoryDepositoryDepository…
  DAMN! He could be anywhere!

Tankie for your service
- You have been banned from Lemmy․ml
  
  Oh no anyway
  
  I'd be perfectly fine with that. I am blocking that instance anyway.
- Tankies are communist keyboard warriors, this guy's a nazi
  
  Plenty of "communists" who share the same opinions as reactionary conservatives/nazis for anything not relating to the economy.
  Just as an example, the anti-woke r/EuropeanSocialists subreddit. Abortion bad, gay people bad, trans people even worse.
- tankies wet dream fantasies.
- The only true tankie

If you belive LGBTQ media is all it will take to turn you gay then you are already gay.
- For real! I had my moment of doubt in college, since I wasnt afraid of being gay I gave it a shot. I still don't really consider myself super straight, but I know I'm not into my own bits and pieces.
  
  , but I know I'm not into my own bits and pieces.
  Who has touched your bits and pieces more than anyone else? That's right, YOU!!
  Every single day, multiple times a day, you are there touching them..Cleaning them. Smushing them hither and thither, so it's about time you faced up to the fact that you need to move to Russia to prove you haven't caught "The Gay" from all that touching!!!
  ( /s, just in case )
  
  Its the goo that I have no interest in experiencing. The rest doesnt bother me.

Is it wrong that I hope he gets his ass killed by an American who traveled to Ukraine to join them?
- If he doesn't get killed by an American fighting for Ukraine, he's still going to be under fire from weapons from the US. I bet that feels bad.
- Feeding the sunflowers is the best thing he could do for everyone
- Yes. Wishing people to die is wrong unless they're in power. You are an awful person and you should be ashamed of yourself
  
  Hah, that was a trick question designed to expose more pansies to block.
  
  If he actually goes to the frontline to participate in assaults, he'll be in a position of power to kill Ukrainian soldiers and medics who are only trying to defend their country from an invasion. So personally, yes I do hope for him (or any of his invading "comrades") to die before he gets the opportunity to kill any Ukrainians living their lives in their own fucking country, and I feel zero shame about it nor do see why someone would.
  
  You are an awful person and you should be ashamed of yourself
  Let’s see if that works. You’re an idiot and you should feel stupid for being an idiot.
  Did it work? Do you feel stupid for being an idiot? No?!
  Didn’t think so, but you’re still an idiot.
  
  He had the power to sit his ass at home and not join the Russian military. But his homophobia drove him across the world and into Putins meat grinder. Sucks for him and his family, but he had every opportunity to not make that decision.
  
  Nono you see, your understanding of the situation is just misinformed idiotry.
  This man is GOING to die in Ukraine. Wanting it to be an American on the Ukraine side to do it is merely wishing for a higher level of irony.
  
  Nah. There's plenty of shit people on this planet, and I have no shame in wishing that most of them weren't.
  
  Is downvote you if I could, but my instance can't.
  
  Nope! Some people deserve death. This guy is one of them.
  
  Fascists can all die because they want to kill those that are not them.

All that just because he was afraid that he was gonna like sucking cock
- He might end up having to do so anyway. Dedovshchina (ritual hazing of Russian army recruits) will happen to him and sexual abuse isn't uncommon.
  
  ... Is the whole country just gay and hiding behind homophobia? Do they just need to learn to accept themselves and each other?
  
  Well then I hope he has a nice time
- Russia seems to have a lot of that going on early in the war

I (Texan) said hi in the parking lot to a coworker I hadn't met before. He proceeded to tell me about how he lived on each of the coasts until those areas one-by-one "went to shit." Then, he explained to me that he had to get away from all the filth that moved in to those areas and that's why he chose to move to Texas. "God, guns, and freedom as far as the eye can see." I truly regretted engaging that man with a simple greeting.
A bad interaction like this shouldn't ruin my day, but I work in public education, which means this guy is integral in supporting our community and raising our children. What has ruined every day for me since that interaction was learning that he works in HR. I'm so fucking dreading this upcoming school year.
- Another Texan here that was in education but I got out because of people like the one you described (and a general feeling of burn out).
  Sorry to hear that about the interaction and the fact that the guy is integral/HR. I’m sort of amazed that he didn’t change or grow as a person after having traveled and moved around like that, but I guess that goes to show you can’t really teach someone who doesn’t want to learn. Having grown up in Texas I can understand that way of conservative thinking, but luckily thanks to having been exposed to different ways of thinking and cultures, I can never empathize with that kind of thinking. I’m tired at this point and if a republican coworker of mine really wants to fight me over how great their cult is, I’m just gonna turn the cheek and walk away, like I don’t think it’s worth the effort anymore to even engage with them over politics.
  
  I met tons of cool people whenever I visited my friends in Texas ... but that's because my friends were lesbian college professors. I never deluded myself into thinking they were typical of people in that state.
- Met someone at a dive bar recently that was a raging piece of shit MAGAt and went on and on about hating DEI and how white people deserve equality too...
  ...fucking turns out they also work in HR at a company. Sadly I wasn't able to figure out what company (was hoping to report them). But dear god. Worst HR person ever.
  
  If we're lucky, maybe that person will move to Russia too.
- of course people like him is in HR.

Huffman, a native Texan, brought his wife, three daughters, and their family Husky, “Baby,” with him to Russia. The couple also has three sons from prior marriages who opted to remain in the United States.
The 3 sons are smarter that mom and dad. I hope mom wises up fast enough to get the daughters out. Dad is not long for this world.
- that poor dog
  
  Right? Even before the move, keeping a husky in Texas weather is cruel
  
  Might be the saddest part of this whole story.

Now, if more MAGA would go to Russia, that be great.

Excellent use of a Texan, especially one infected with the broke mind virus.

Well, I'm glad he's safe from the gays.
- Not necessarily. LGBTQ people serve openly in the Ukrainian military, and while they lack some basic legal protections, LGBTQ rights advocacy has been growing steadily in Ukraine during the war.
  He may be in far more danger from “the gays” than ever before.
  
  Oh no, how terrible for him. We should send him bright shirts that say "not gay" to wear in combat so there's no confusion.
- And here my big gay self is reading this from my comfortable home in America. I love this and wish more MAGAts would self deport.
- Russian military hazing is uh something.

My entire family just laughed our asses off at this. For real, we're all hanging out in the living room.
I moved my family away from MAGAt hell last year due fear for their lives.
I hope a Ukraninan drone drops a grenade on top of him and he dies screaming while he tries to hold his guts in.
- I love lemmy. This comment would have got you banned on Reddit
  
  What could be more sublime than the freedom to unburden oneself of a deep inner truth? Fuck the police, death to the IDF, Luigi did nothing wrong, and please rate my drawing of Muhammad: {ಠ⁠,⁠_⁠｣⁠ಠ}
- He wont even make it that far. Being a Russian conscript is hell even more so when you don't know Russian. He will be a victim of hazing and bulling the entire time with no one to help him and will ironically be raped. He will be blowing his brains out before we get to see him smeared across a field.
- or he meets his demise for trying to flee the battlefield, since russia places barrier troops to prevent people from fleeing.

May your corpse feed a few sunflowers on the land you're invading. Nazi piece of shit.
- I love this comment.

He gets to die fighting for what he believes in--Oligarchs that don't give two shits about LGBTQ or him and his family because they're all poors.

it sounds like this guy has a pattern of behavior being easily-duped.
- I agree that the east of Ukraine has many fascists in it. They usually go around with the letter Z on their person. Have you seen them?

Certified Idiot.

I hope more magas follow this success story

OP, please update when the FPV drone vid starring this moron yee-ing his last -haw is posted.

record scratch "yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this mess"
- “You see, I’m a complete fucking idiot and huge bigot, and while the latter basically requires the former it’s so much of who I am that I feel it best to mention. Anyway, I hear some buzzing in the sky, gunna go check that out.”

lol, he’s going to die for nothing. Sucks for his family, though.

Can't feel all that sorry for him. I do feel bad for his kids, though.
- They'll probably be conscripted into an unmarked grave right next to his. Hopefully they'll make pretty flowers. Amazing how much damage stupidity can do

Coming soon to an FPV drone video.

Good to him, codename Texas is now vacant: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Bentley
- Tortured to death by Russians usually means lots of butt stuff. I feel no empathy for people who are on the side of evil, when the evil does what evil does to them.
  
  for getting sent to front lines, butt stuff, and facing barrier troops if they try to run.
- wow.
  
  Bentley became a Russian citizen via Naturalization in 2020. In April 2024 he was killed by Russian soldiers in Russian-occupied Ukrainian city Donetsk
  Right, what a loser

dead man right there
- One fine day in the middle of the night, two dead men got up to fight! Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other.
  
  A deaf policeman heard the noise, and came and shot those two dead boys. If you don't think my story's true, ask the blind man. He saw it too..
  
  I recognize this from somewhere. Is it a German proverb?
- And you call yourself anti fascist.

May his life be short
- Nothing of value was lost when he moved away. Nothing of value will be lost when his corpse is left rotting in a field.

I hear that the Ukrainian drones are good at locking onto anti-woke solders.

I hope he takes several bullets in the teeth.
- He will swallow his gun the moment they hand one over to him. A Russian conscript and a foreigner from the softest country in history? This dude is probably dead already.
- I'm hoping the Ukrainians drop a grenade on him from a drone.
  
  I hope it's one of those videos where they chase him around a bit, those are hilarious with some Benny Hill music.

I assume his sons, who can use the internet, warned him that he will likely die.
let me also predict that when he dies, the family will get a MIA letter and no compensation.
- "He deserted his new motherland. You're all under arrest."
- They might get lucky and get a free meat grinder out of it! Or is a free hand-out to socialistically woke?

When Tim Cook came out as gay, Russia took down a statue honoring Steve Jobs. That's a completely different person. How intolerant can you get?
This refugee from "woke" can suck it. Poor widdle baby gonna get shot, boo hoo.

Dumbfucks are gunna dumbfuck.

Such a sad thing that nobody ever told him to very thing would happen. Repeatedly..

Whelp, hope he dies.

Wake me when he’s dead.

I wonder if that woke him up.
- Read the article. There is a quote from him. He's just using it as a cudgel agains immigrants to the US.
  Bigots going to bigot. IMO this is just some very deserved natural selection finally catching up to this half-wit in a very roundabout way.

its also fafo and lamf, hes one of the few westerners that went to russia to avoid wokeness in north america.

Have the day you emigrated for, I guess

Is this the dude that moved his family and couldn't speak the language so couldn't get a visa?
- there was a canadian farmer that did, moved his whole family then got thier assets in russia froze, i think they have youtube channel, i think they are sitll doubling down.
- Different guy I think

Love that for him

No one is woke from a dirt nap.

Let's live stream him getting blown up

Our comrades at lemmygrad.ml should follow his lead 🤭
- It's easy to be in a progressive country like Canada and praise the Soviet Union or Russia. I think deep down they know that they'd have a miserable life in Russia or China, so at best they make up reasons for why they can't move, even though the power of the passports and wages in the countries most of them are from allows them to easily do that, which can't be said about Russian or Chinese citizens trying to get a visa to even travel to one of the Western countries.

“Honey, this year can we finally take that trip to Russia we’ve always talked about?”
—No one, ever.
- There were/are specific attractions. The Trans-Siberian Railway seems like it would be an amazing experience.
  
  I’d rather have herpes.

Social darwinism at its finest.

Natural selection playing out.

I mean, i have made many bad life choices, but still...
- Yes. In childhood, teen years, early 20s. This guy looks to be at least 40.

That dude's face is everything wrong with America. Disgusting.

US military recruiting also highlights free college and safe high pay. But the fine print enslaves you to "Mobile infantry will make you the man I am today."

Try him for treason, strip him of his citizenship
- You think he's gonna be alive long enough for that? His wife should dip if she can

Thank you for your service. 🫡

He looks far older than 46. This dude has never used sunscreen.
- Sunscreen is gay, duh!

Man, he wants to play catch by being at the receiving end of a 500lb MK82 bomb made somewhere in the US Midwest.

Oh... oh no.
They didn't think this through.
- You make the mistake of assuming "men" like this think. He is all feeling, and it's all hate towards others.

I hope to see him get blown apart in a drone pov video soon.
