An American father who moved to Russia to avoid LGBTQ+ “indoctrination” is being sent to the front line against Ukraine despite being assured he would serve in a non-combat role.
Anti-Woke Dad Who Moved Family to Russia Sent to War Zone
- Is a migrant, who doesn't speak the language, himself
This always makes me laugh when American and UK tourists go abroad and expect people to speak English. Integrate muthafuckas!
Call yourself an "expat" and apparently you never have to integrate.
Once I was in a country where people spoke multiple languages. One of them was English another was Spanish. I can speak Spanish, but I’m better in English.
My friend and I went into a shop and spoke in English as most people in the city could. He just yelled at us and told us that we have to leave if we speak English.
It was weird, because, like I said, most people speak English there and he wasn’t incapable of speaking English or even ask us to speak another language.
We decided to leave and then he changed his tone completely and said English is OK.
It was so weird of him to pick a fight about that. Over Oreos.
Well Americans would probably do best to learn Spanish. The problem is it's not so clear-cut in the UK, in theory we should learn French, except the French don't appreciate it and speak English anyway. The Spanish and Germans also speak English so again there doesn't seem to be an obvious language to learn.
If you're going to learn a language that want to give you the maximum ability to communicate with new people it'd probably be Japanese but realistically no one in the UK is going to learn Japanese.

That's not an American specialty. Our German right wing shitheads are migrating to South American countries for example without speaking a word Spanish and without even wanting to integrate there because of all the not well integrated migrants here. Nazis in all their forms tend to be not the smartest tools in the shed.
where does it say he complains about language and won't learn it? he's been there for like a few months, learning a language takes time (especially if you're dumb as this guy)
Huffman has no prior military experience, DeAnna said, adding that his limited training was conducted in Russian. She suggested the language barrier has made her husband particularly unprepared for the horrors of combat.
Ok, he didn't, his wife did. This was an important part of the article for me, the oh gosh training for Russian military is in Russian.
He would expect people to learn English before arriving in the US so the inverse should also be true. And yeah learning Russian is hard, but that's his problem. It's not like he had to leave in an emergency, the threat that he was experiencing is entirely fictional.
What a shocker. This is like the handful of Western teenage girls who went to Afghanistan to try and be good Muslims, then discovered that meant being married off to some Islamic State soldier twice their age. Like what the fuck did you think was going to happen?
Wow, I remember those… shit was wild
I was interested in this story and tried to search but couldn’t find any news articles about it. Do you have a source article about this happening?
Just the first one I could find, there were a few of these cases
https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/23/europe/shamima-begum-appeal-loses-intl
I know of a number of cases in the Netherlands, I'm sure the US had its own stories. Sorry, I don't have links available but DuckDuckGo it?
So, unfortunately, he feels like he’s being thrown to the wolves right now, and he’s kind of having to lean on faith, and that’s what we’re all doing.”
Let’s us know how that works out for you.
after a month of service, her family had yet to receive any pay.
Not so well, then?
They will get paid in thoughts and prayers soon
Oh. Well that’s a… drag.
I’ll see myself out.
DeAnna, 42, suggested her husband had been misled during the military recruiting process.
Surely not. Russian military recruiters have the same dedication to truth and honesty as US military recruiters.
It probably would have helped if he'd learned to speak Russian.
dude if someone wrote this for a movie people would say it's too on the nose.
moving to another country to avoid "indoctrination" is exactly what a movie character would do as a metaphor for inner struggle.
being sent to die for a fascistic country would be the metaphor for the idea that running away from your self by finding refuge in reactionary attitudes inevitably kills you inside.
and him having a bunch of gay sex with fellow russian conscripts on the front lines is a metaphor for, uh... well its a metaphor
He moved to a country that was actively waging a war of aggression, and joined the military expecting not to see combat. If it seems like something only a complete dumbass would do, that's because it is.
Also refusing to learn the local language and expects to be conversing in english
I didn't read anything about "refusing" to learn. They said they moved there in March 2025, less than 5 months ago. And that they are "embracing a new language and culture". there's a "language barrier" which makes sense since he's only been learning for a short time.
the facts are sufficient for criticism that no fabrications are necessary.
It's worse, because this traitor dragged half his family into the war zone. I doubt they will live much longer.
Look how far someone will go to ignore that fact that he wants to kiss a man on the lips
Immigrants in the US won’t serve in the military for citizenship!
This pathway was closed by Trump.
I wanted to serve in the military to earn my citizenship, that way the local can’t say I didn’t earn it.
Gimme one of them non-combat roles though, I don’t want any of that war business. Which is all pointless because the second a Russian asks him “what role did you serve in the military?” He’d simply reply “huh, can you speak English?” I also love the idea of him believing he’d be a correspondent despite being unable to speak Russian. Im sure his wife and daughters will enjoy their time in Russia when his military career blossoms.

Those drones pack a punch, you know.
Umm... Hopefully they can still get back to the States after he's fed to the meat grinder.
This administration will welcome them back. Trump will probably give the wife the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
SPECULATER
Imagine fleeing "Western brainwashing" only to end up in a trench with five dudes and a ration pack, wondering if this is what true freedom smells like.
May he have a very kamikazi drone find out
If you can't speak Russian, you have no business in Russia. Very few of the people there can speak English at the level you would need to get by. And he actually believed he could join their military as a non-combatant foreigner during wartime? What a dumbass.
He complained in the article that immigrants in the United States don't assimilate. Yet he can't speak Russian. 🤔
I'm sure he has failed to see the irony in that.
Ukrainian officials estimated this week that more than 1 million Russian soldiers have died in the conflict
I just wanna call this out as misinfo. Ukraine's claimed numbers are casualties which includes killed and wounded. I don't know if Ukraine has any claim for number killed, but estimates are around 300k, though the fact that Russia sends soldiers on crutches to the front lines, some of those might be double counted.
Yep, pretty sure in former USSR, they count wounded as casualties so perhaps Ukraine has adopted the same practice.
Wounded count as casualties everywhere and always have
If you have to run from LGBT indoctrination then you are probably LGBT. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but if he had been honest with himself he might not die in a pointless war.
You're almost 100% right. This dudes so deep in the closet he moved to Russia. That's gay as fuck.
he is now sleeping among other sweaty guys.
Ya. Fuck him and his family. Have fun dying bro. Slava Ukraine!
The Leopards are already so full, you can't keep feeding them like this.
Darwin thanks you for you service. Watch out for them drones!
Makes you wonder if they acknowledge how bad they messed up. Or is this fine because they escaped the woke. I love the part in the article that says they followed some other influencer trying to get people to move, but was only able to get this family and 1 other to do it. A lot of dumb choices here, its amazing how they somehow feel like they were wronged when they had to do a lot of choices to get to this point.
I'm sure the last thing to go through his head, other than a Ukrainian bullet, will be "at least I saved my family from being woke".
Pretty sad.
A lot of people realised they're wrong, they are just too proud to admit.
Putin: lol front line for you.
Derek Huffman: Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
The only thing useful this traitor's life will amount to is watering a few sunflowers.
Ukraine, sorry for letting our trash blow into your yard. This shouldn't be your problem, but since it is, be safe while disposing of it.
Oh, no! Anyways!
Dude should just have starting sucking all the cocks that he secretly wanted to suck
Now he’s sucking trench cock instead of those pristine Pride parade Johnsons. Leopard eating faces is wonderful.
Trench Cock would be a good band name
Now he can get indoctrinated by a UA drone. Outstanding move.
Man, I feel so owned right now.
Nothing of value will have been lost.
What does his commanding officer do just roll his eyes in point at things?
Due to his inability to understand the language and his complete lack of any military experience, I have to assume he's more of a liability than an asset.
Stop shoving yourself down that leopard's throat.
Fuck him
Hey maybe he can pal up with Russell Bentley! Oh ..... right .... (reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Bentley ).
TIL
I guess he wanted to remain in a dictatorship, seems a sort of odd destination to me, pretty much guaranteed to be miserable even if he wasn't dumped into a combat, he could have gone to Cuba or something.
Cuba is a dictatorship of the working class, LGBT rights are enshrined in the constitution, the exact opposite of what any fascist who would fight for Russia (or Ukraine) wants.
I see the leopards got a new face to eat.
Rest in piss 🙄
Hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.
Let’s all shed some crocodile tears for this guy.
Heh-heh.
That's truly horrible... Anyway.
He must love the smell of other sweaty guys.
Lefties should start crying about his one see if some other mofo does it out of spite.
I was thinking on the same lines.
It's just a numbers game.
They're morons.
The Darwin award awaits.
We will be seeing him in one of the Reddit Ukraine War Drone videos in 5, 4, 3, 2 . . .
lol. Lmao.
Way to let your wide and children down dipshit.
I've seen their videos. I feel bad for the kids. Not the wife. She's there with him for the same stupid reasons. The kids are obviously suffering, especially the oldest.
Plus the wife is a sober alcoholic (according to her own videos, she did drink a real beer since her husband joined the military), the while situation won't make it easy for her to stay sober. Poor kids.
And I guess there aren't that many countries that might be less suited to move to if you had alcohol problems in your past.
I know it’s supposed to be wife but having it as wide is kind of funny. Then again I’ll always be a bit of a child.
Gotta follow your dreams 😬
Well, the opposite of a „win-win“-situation it seems.
If you can’t share in the joy of this, then maybe this instance isn’t for you
Die mother fucker
For some reason, this story feels like propaganda.
It tells the story of an immigrant to Russia who tried to gain the Russian citizenship and received a first line place in the ongoing war.
So it's not a pro-Russian tale, yes.
Dude joins the Russian military to earn his place in Russian society and hopes to be seen as one of the Russians, is surprised that he gets treated like a Russian.
Also dude complains about migrants in the US wanting free handouts, goes to Russia and then complains that he doesn’t get special treatment.
