  1. Never understand what must happend with man’s mind to throw away everything and go to fight on another side of planet.

  2. Poor guy. I admire his courage and conviction. Russians are scumbags so he’s unlikely to be treated well. He’s a hero.

  3. Throwing your life away for another country you have absolutely zero ties to?

  4. Oscar Jenkins the hero we need to encourage us all in helping Ukraine!

  5. Look at what we have to sacrifice in order to stop murderers and rapists daily. Let Russia fucking have it already NATO pussies

  6. He probably thought it was going to be like the US invasion of Iraq or Afghanistan..where they had air superiority and had weapons that were 3 generations ahead of what the other side had.

  7. Imagine how this went. Just look at the fact they weren’t feeding the Koreans who came to help them!

  9. Oscar you are one of the good cunts, i wish you a safe return soon

  10. I just want to say fuck Russia and it’s current leadership and their actions, and I wish for a swift death to their oppressive regime and their nazi brainwashed patriotic cunts. On that I wish everyone a good day!

  11. He’ll be executed as per Russian rules pertaining to international fighters. Hope he took heaps of em down before he was caught.

  12. Some pro-russian posters are saying he is a mercenary and should be executed, which they claim is lawful. What a bunch of psychopaths

  13. “The real problem was being able to stick it out, to sit in an office under the orders of a wee man in a dark gray suit and look out of the window and recall the bush country, the waving palms, the smell of sweat and cordite, the grunts of the men hauling jeeps over the river crossings, the copper-tasting fears just before the attack, and the wild, cruel joy of being alive afterward.  To remember, and then go back to the ledgers and the commuter train, that was impossible.  He knew he would eat his heart out if it ever came to that.”

  14. Imagine missing out on a crucial piece of war footage because you couldn’t be bothered to sit through ANOTHER FUCKING ALDI AD. Couldn’t be me…

  15. Obviously I’m not on the front lines but I’ve thought about this and I think I’d rather go down fighting than be captured by Russians

    Take as many of them with me as I can and avoid torture

  16. Not taking sides. I’m rather just curious. If North Korean soldiers fighting Russia’s war is unjust, how is an Aussie fighting Ukraine’s war considered ethical?

  18. He doesn’t speak broken Russian as stated in the article. He speaks broken Ukrainian.

  19. Well, at least we have his picture, and know he is in Ruzzian hands. This means that they are less likely to kill him in captivity. Less likely, but its still possible. They killed high profile people like Navalny, and they kill prisoners like they kill everyone else, without a second thought. Its just that they might get more blowback if they kill him. I suspect people like Putin are going “oh, so for that one you are going to hang me?” They have committed SO many war crimes, that one more is like another grain of sand on a very large beach, or another star in the milky way.
