    Dougan, a former Marine and police officer, fled his home in Florida in 2016 to evade criminal charges related to a massive doxxing campaign he was accused of launching against public officials and was given asylum by the Russian government. Most recently, Dougan has posed as a journalist in Ukraine’s Donbas region, testifying at Russian public hearings and making frequent appearances on Russian state TV.

    Oh look, an old school traitor. I wish him a swift military drafting by his new home.

      I think his usefulness to them as a prop will remain greater than his usefulness as cannon fodder for the time being.

    What’s embarassing is russian people probably believe that bag of shit represent the whole country and it’s military. Man built a career out of nowhere.

    Read that as “NBC Jews:” at first. Too much Israel in the news lately, I guess.
