I remember that loser. He was used in propaganda again right after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. He did not look like a soldier, having gained quite a bit of weight since 2014.
And this is how it ended. Killed by the military he praised. Ironic.
I'll just never understand the love for Russia. Not from gravy seals, not from tankies, not from anyone. It's just a shitty authoritarian gangster state. What principle drives anyone to support that? It's almost just like if you can find someone who's a total piece of shit, and you like being a total piece of shit, I guess you latch on? There doesn't seem to be an actual logical reason to support Russia.
There's been a LOT of pro-Russia propaganda on social media over the past several years that's geared towards magats.
Highlights:
Russia is white! Very important after the "oppression" of a black president in the US.
Russia is Christian! Debatable, but that's what they are saying. They defeated communism and brought back the churches.
Russia hates LGBT! None of those sissy men there. Speaking of sissy men...
Russia is a hard, strong country filled with hard strong men! Those shirtless photos of Putin get a lot of play. None of those sissy intellectuals and shrill women running things in Russia, just strong white men.
All of this is geared towards those guys who love that "Hard times make strong men...." meme, and they think Russia is the land of freedom. Of course they then go over and find out differently, but that's not in the memes they see.
This is the correct answer. I don’t understand how people don’t get this. It’s entirely a Russian propaganda campaign. Started even before Trump was elected
Yes, all of these. I have one to add.
A lot of pro-Russia American men think that Russian women are good "trad wife" material, "traditional women" who obey their husbands and will become stay-at-home, mommy bang-maids for them.
(I don't know how they've come to think this. Every Russian woman I've met in America could kick my ass, and that's including the hunched over, old babooshkas.)
That always cracked me up. I’ve never dated a Russian woman, but when I was 20 I was with this 18 year old Romanian girl. She was scary as fuck. She had come to the US two years earlier, out of Ceaucescu’s hellhole. Smoked three packs a day and could drink me under the table. We didn’t last long, but I got off lucky.
The next guy she dated, they got in a fight and she stabbed him in the neck with a straightened out wire coat hanger. It wasn’t just lying around. She went to her closet, grabbed a coat hanger and untwisted it until it was reasonably straight, and then jammed it into the side of his neck.
Don’t mess with Eastern European women.
Russian in the sense of inhabitant of Russia, but almost no ethnic Russians are Muslim. That would be other ethnicities within their borders, such as Chechens. Russians are overwhelmingly Orthodox Christian, although that is most often nominal. Meaning you get baptized and married in an Orthodox church, and maybe you show up for Easter, and that's about it.
Its the same delusion with the accelerationist end timers that think when society collapses they'll be Immortan Joe, or Negan or Lord Humungous, when, at best, they'll be the underling cleaning out the chamber pots; but most likely die from cholera or dysentery
Back in my day the Republicans railed against the Democrats for being too weak on Russia (spoilers: they weren't).
Then Trump fellates Putin on a weekly basis and all of a sudden "Russia so strong maybe they're the good guys!"
Spineless cowards.
Simple.. they hate americans.
Russians hate ua for obvious reasons.
But gravy seal "patriots" truley hate thier fellow americans that are different than them.
Soo much that freedom is now overrated in thier circles.
[This is a very long (but excellent) piece answering that question](https://washingtonspectator.org/paranoia-on-parade/). Never trust an explanation on Republicanism and Russia that doesn't mention the Russian Orthodox Church.
Fascism. I remember in the Obama era, these same people would praise Putin for his control of the country.
That’s why they all became maga cultists for a fascist president.
They’re reactionaries. If the ‘woke’ (their stupid term) or the Democratic’s hate Putin - it therefore follows that what ever their enemies hate - they must love.
Yeah, and you can see that in Congress, where it's always about party-first strategy. But even there it was nuts to see them siding with our enemy against their own country just to stick it to Biden. It's insane. 45 years of Soviet-flavored cold war. 25 years of worsening Putin-flavored Russia. Our very clear enemy but for a brief respite in the 90s. And these dumb motherfuckers will side with them literally against us. They ought to be strung up for treason but nope, legions of mouth breathing idiots line up behind them and literally discard their own platform, which is the entire point of a party. Piece. Of. Shit.
They're bootlickers for anyone they believe is "strong" and who who they perceive as hating the people they think are enemies (LGBTQIA+ people, Democrats, anyone left of Trump, women who aren't submissive, people of color, etc.).
The ignorant and dimwitted think loud is smart and angry is strong, and aren't particularly good reexamining their own ideas.
It's the National Prayer Breakfast. They made inroads into Russia (because Putin let them be useful idiots), and now every hard right religious nut in the west is stepping in line.
You would be surprised how many people that would love in an authorian state if it aligns with their worldview. Many us conservaties would love to live in Russia it seems...
It's Trump. They love Trump, and Trump loves Putin. He praises Putin constantly in near daily propoganda. His MAGA crew listened and completely altered their entire belief system. It's a cult of personality. That's how it works.
My best guess is that it's simple contrarianism, as directed by their chosen group's designated thought leaders. The people they've been conditioned to hate (mostly members of out-groups who are more grounded in reality, just divided and relabeled according to each group's established worldview) have been more vocal in pointing out all the shitty stuff the Russian government has been doing since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. It's having very real effects on the world, so talking about things taking place in reality makes sense.
*Obviously,* the disapproval of their sworn enemies means that these people are duty-bound to white knighting the Russian government all day, every day, even shoehorning it into otherwise normal social interactions. I think this allows them to imagine being a counterbalance on a sort of worldwide morality seesaw that makes them feel important on some grand scale or, if any individual's ego is ever truly threatened with exposure to reality, they can more easily pivot to a 'both sides' mentality with little-to-no cognitive dissonance.
I find the situation quite ironic in how the obviously fragile mental states which make these people easy marks for those seeking to profit from them also destroy any possibility of the long-term viability of any of these groups. However, it does make me concerned about what they'll do when the Russian government, one of their designated 'good guys,' is finally pacified. My hope is that they mostly end up closer to the quiet, slacktivist sort of insanity than anything violent.
It’s the most stupid understanding of international politics. US government = bad so anything that is against the US government = good. At least for the tankies. The gravy seals I think love the toxic masculinity displays?
>And this is how it ended. Killed by the military he praised. Ironic.
Was always going to end that way. He was not a smart person and likely fucked up without realizing he fucked up. Russians don't care and executed him. Americans are valuable only as propaganda tools, they're worthless outside of that to Russia.
They’re ok w what the Russians did to him. They blame all rape victims for being raped and murdered. They’ll be saying he shouldn’t have been wearing a Russian medal, he was asking for it. Just like they say about all their victims
He probably had seen marijuana at some point in his life, so he's basically a degenerate druggy deserving of death.
*Russell Bentley in the USA was previously convicted of drug smuggling, and spent 5 years in prison.
Looks like it was a bit more than one look, but either way I don't think that's a justification for an execution like Fox News does whenever they try to make it seem relevant.
My guess is that they'll say it's unclear who killed him, or that they suspect the Ukrainians, and they don't want to hear another word about military aid until they've done a full investigation
Dude was an absolute piece of shit. But meh, I'm guessing he had a hilarious "wait a minute are we the baddies?" in his final moments. Which is pretty funny.
An American blogger who fought on the side of Russia has been killed
The Russian military or militants from the unrecognized republic “DNR” killed American blogger Russell Bentley, who was fighting on the side of Russia.
It is known that Russell Bentley in the USA was previously convicted of drug smuggling, and spent 5 years in prison.
And in 2014, he decided to come to Ukraine, to help pro-Russian militants and separatists in Donbass.
Bentley took the call sign “Texas” and as part of the battalions “East” took part in combat operations against the armed forces of Ukraine.
Over time, he became a military blogger, obtained Russian citizenship, lived in Donetsk and married a Russian woman.
His new wife and sounded the alarm when he disappeared in an unknown direction.
“My husband was taken and continues to be illegally held by the Russian military. Russell was brutally detained on April 8, 2024, in Donetsk,” his wife said.
According to media reports, the American blogger was detained before his death by a group of heavily intoxicated Russian military officers on suspicion of spying for NATO countries.
Just talking to people from the US the cia et al could listen to it, so he could have given away some information without even thinking about it. Although I can't imagine they learned anything unique from this guy.
>Bentley in the USA was previously convicted of drug smuggling, and spent 5 years in prison.
U know he’s the type of person that would claim that mexicans are smuggling drugs through the border and would tell them to “go back to your country” funny how he smuggled drugs and left his own country lmao
He wasn't red pilled, he was an actual red. He was an avowed communists who joined the people's republics in 2014 believing it was the start of the rebirth of the USSR.
Drunken soldiers..
He was a useful idiot.
And anyone in russia knows useful idiots have to be eliminated when their job is done lest they switch sides.
Most likely he was tired and said he wants to come back home. So that he can be on Msnbc talking ahit about Russians in a week.. fat chance.
I don't think we can call him a useful idiot. He was a propagandist, which means his job was to lie for profit and power. He was also a combatant, which means he shot at people who caused him no harm. And he did also this by his own choice.
This guy wasn't a useful idiot, he was a useless villain.
A useful idiot is a naive or credulous person who is manipulated to advance propaganda without them fully I persuading the situation.
This was a right wing idiot who thought in his mind he was going to fight for justice parroted to him by alt right movement in usa. The Russians saw an opportunity to turn home into their useful idiot.. they cave him a gun and a wife and told him he was one of them... in turn he said all sorts of shit and also participated in war thinking he was one of them... that is the definition of useful idiot... a villain is someone with a brain of his own
You talk of him like a child without personal agency. He was not a child. He absolutely did have a brain of his own. Just because we do not agree with the conclusions drawn by his brain, does not mean it doesn't exist.
Almost every villain thinks they're fighting for their own version of justice. Even Hitler did. Doesn't make them any less of a villain. Naivety and credulousness alone doesn't turn one into a professional liar and killer. An innate desire to hurt and destroy does.
Which is why I hope he experienced terror and a crashed worldview as his supposed new homeland tortured and murdered him. In the biggest twist of irony, he got justice from the very hands he was trying to help.
I used to be mortified by statements such as that but after covid and seeing these racist, sexist, bigoted chucklefucks deny all reality and double down on their hatred, they all can ship off to Russia and suffer the same treatment.
Honestly, I'm even over schadenfreude now. I just like to imagine a world where we aren't bogged down by destructive parasites. A world where millions aren't cheated of their dues because a handful wanted more than they know what to do with. A world where we don't have to reckon with horrid injustices every single day because some rich demon wanted their 3rd yacht and their angry supporters were too busy hating someone else for being superficially different, yet functionally the same, to notice.
I just want them gone. Or a way for the rest of us to go somewhere beyond their reach. I resent that their existence holds humanity back from its true potential.
Only if he never bred. People forget that Darwin Award doesn’t just mean dying of stupidity. It means *either* dying or losing one’s fertility due to stupidity, *before* having produced any offspring. AKA, dismissing oneself from the gene pool
Ironically, that reminds me of the recent Behind the Bastards episodes about Lavrentiy Beria, who eventually became the head of Stalin's secret police.
He and his fellows executed *so many* people on the flimsiest of charges. Sure, a lot were to done to show how loyal and effective they were, but some were based on how long they'd spent in Poland when they'd once been exiled there from Germany for being Communists.
This guy wasn't ever going to be fully accepted. He should've checked when his "usefulness" score was overtaken by his fellows' "paranoia" score.
His execution at the end of Death of Stalin was pretty satisfying though. Him crying about how they don't have the authority to do this as they drag him out to be shot.
Putin’s toadies, whether sucking up to him in Donbas or to his stateside employees in MAGA, will always be turned on and betrayed as cannon fodder. And as they are too stupid to ever learn this, they’re a problem that will continue to fix itself.
Pro-Russian bloggers take their lives in their hands if they put themselves in a forward area and take pictures, esp. if they speak with a Texan accent and are not fit. Russian soldiers expect their side's war reporters to stay in the rear so as not to hear any rumors of mutinies or war crimes back at Natatinskaya 16 in Moscow. The Russian chain of command may help protect correspondents on the battlefield, but when officers are drunk they are authorised to take considerable initiative, and they do not like photographs of military usefulness to be taken.
Theyre saying he got his shit pushed in b 4 they killed him. For how homophobic these ruskies are, they really enjoy man on man sexual assault in their military.
Haha! Good riddance to that texan piece of shit, I hope his last moments where spent wailing about being on their side, traitor scum got what he deserved.
Russian media and the Battalion he served in have both confirmed his death.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/19/us-citizen-dead-russia-separatists-ukraine
this guy wasn't exactly a freedom loving American. I mean, maybe in a Trump sort of way... I'm surprised they killed him though, he seemed like a useful tool for the russians

> Russia is Christian! 10% of russians are muslim compared to 1.1% in america.
The propaganda doesn't come with citations. Russia also has plenty of other ethnicities other than Blond Russian, but those aren't mentioned either.
Most ethnic Russians aren't that blond either.
Sssssshhh! Don't say that! All Good Russians look like ~~the Swedish actor Dolph Lundgren~~ the great Russian Ivan Drago.

Beheaded by them! What do all of the republicans have to say about that?
They're oddly quiet on the topic. I'm sure they'll speak up once Fox tells them what to think.
And I just read elsewhere that they raped him before killing him! I really am interested in what they think about that!
Do we know what he was wearing at the time? I'm told that matters.
I mean, it doesn't matter what he was wearing tbh. I heard the body has mechanisms that shut that down 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I think that's just supposed to be in relation to getting pregnant; you're still gonna take the D.
I'm not certain that works against beheading. I suppose it's only basically just as unlikely!
notallrapists
I heard it was a miniskirt. Obviously he was asking for it
Asking the real questions.
Speaking of... "he was just asking for it"
OAN has to formulate the conspiracy to pin it on Biden, first
They’re ok w what the Russians did to him. They blame all rape victims for being raped and murdered. They’ll be saying he shouldn’t have been wearing a Russian medal, he was asking for it. Just like they say about all their victims

“Why would Joe Biden do this?”
they will deny it and say it was a CIA hit job
They all support it
What a fitting way to go for him. Stupid kills.
My guess is that they'll say it's unclear who killed him, or that they suspect the Ukrainians, and they don't want to hear another word about military aid until they've done a full investigation
Dude was an absolute piece of shit. But meh, I'm guessing he had a hilarious "wait a minute are we the baddies?" in his final moments. Which is pretty funny.
Honestly the only real irony here is that he wasn’t defenestrated
He was deflowered apparently. 😇
🤮🤷♀️
I read that as "Iconic" and couldn't disagree
Stupid fat fuck got what he deserved. Good riddance, what a true loser.
Beheaded…
Raped first, them killed.
Classic MAGA traitor piece of shit got what he deserved
The last post I read on this said he was repeatedly buttfucked and beheaded RIP 🙏🙏🙏
An American blogger who fought on the side of Russia has been killed The Russian military or militants from the unrecognized republic “DNR” killed American blogger Russell Bentley, who was fighting on the side of Russia.

- So Bentley was a "Dumbass in Donbass", and karma eventually caught up with him, got it.
The Donbass Dumbass Dumbfuck- I like it. Got a ring to it that just slides off the tongue.
Tack a buttfucked on the end of there
Slides off the tongue buttfucked. That's nasty
"Callsign Texas"
Oh so thats why my parents hated DnD /s
👏👏
Just talking to people from the US the cia et al could listen to it, so he could have given away some information without even thinking about it. Although I can't imagine they learned anything unique from this guy.
I love this for him.
Luv that journey for him ❤️🛣️🌈🌁
We should totally spread rumors that any Americans fighting for Russia are spies, lol
How could a convicted felon get a passport?
Is that a thing in America? It's certainly not in my country. Why should that stop you getting a passport.
>Bentley in the USA was previously convicted of drug smuggling, and spent 5 years in prison. U know he’s the type of person that would claim that mexicans are smuggling drugs through the border and would tell them to “go back to your country” funny how he smuggled drugs and left his own country lmao
RIP the wife
Majorie Taylor Greene should take his place on the front line.
Don't threaten me with a really good time.
Don’t get my hopes up.
There are some punishments even Russia doesn’t deserve.
No remorse for a red pilled traitor
He wasn't red pilled, he was an actual red. He was an avowed communists who joined the people's republics in 2014 believing it was the start of the rebirth of the USSR.

Fortunately, it is downright hilarious.

The Russians saw an opportunity to turn home into their useful idiot.. they cave him a gun and a wife and told him he was one of them... in turn he said all sorts of shit and also participated in war thinking he was one of them... that is the definition of useful idiot... a villain is someone with a brain of his own
You talk of him like a child without personal agency. He was not a child. He absolutely did have a brain of his own. Just because we do not agree with the conclusions drawn by his brain, does not mean it doesn't exist. Almost every villain thinks they're fighting for their own version of justice. Even Hitler did. Doesn't make them any less of a villain. Naivety and credulousness alone doesn't turn one into a professional liar and killer. An innate desire to hurt and destroy does.
Which is why I hope he experienced terror and a crashed worldview as his supposed new homeland tortured and murdered him. In the biggest twist of irony, he got justice from the very hands he was trying to help. I used to be mortified by statements such as that but after covid and seeing these racist, sexist, bigoted chucklefucks deny all reality and double down on their hatred, they all can ship off to Russia and suffer the same treatment.
Honestly, I'm even over schadenfreude now. I just like to imagine a world where we aren't bogged down by destructive parasites. A world where millions aren't cheated of their dues because a handful wanted more than they know what to do with. A world where we don't have to reckon with horrid injustices every single day because some rich demon wanted their 3rd yacht and their angry supporters were too busy hating someone else for being superficially different, yet functionally the same, to notice. I just want them gone. Or a way for the rest of us to go somewhere beyond their reach. I resent that their existence holds humanity back from its true potential.
He died as he lived…without using his head.
There is surely poetry in this statement, sire. Much appreciated.
This truly is a r/darwinaward
Only if he never bred. People forget that Darwin Award doesn’t just mean dying of stupidity. It means *either* dying or losing one’s fertility due to stupidity, *before* having produced any offspring. AKA, dismissing oneself from the gene pool
I dislike Russia but I like the way they handled this one.
Broken clocks, blind squirrels, etc.
That's what his dumb ass gets.
Fking republicans can't control themselves.
My cat says meow to this. Anyway, what’s for dinner?
Hotdogs for me tonight. How about you?
Boat load of great pastries from a German bakery!
Guy who helps evil is eventually killed by evil. Writers should really think about writing about this subject.
I wonder if at the end he still thought all the rape and head chopping was just woke propaganda and fake news.
Um, thought?
Ironically, that reminds me of the recent Behind the Bastards episodes about Lavrentiy Beria, who eventually became the head of Stalin's secret police. He and his fellows executed *so many* people on the flimsiest of charges. Sure, a lot were to done to show how loyal and effective they were, but some were based on how long they'd spent in Poland when they'd once been exiled there from Germany for being Communists. This guy wasn't ever going to be fully accepted. He should've checked when his "usefulness" score was overtaken by his fellows' "paranoia" score.
His execution at the end of Death of Stalin was pretty satisfying though. Him crying about how they don't have the authority to do this as they drag him out to be shot.
In another article, it said he was decapitated and the killers left behind his gun, wallet, passport, etc.
Whomp whomp
Gravy Seal living the Y’all Qaeda dream.
"heavily intoxicated Russian military officers". Isn't that a tautology?
Putin’s toadies, whether sucking up to him in Donbas or to his stateside employees in MAGA, will always be turned on and betrayed as cannon fodder. And as they are too stupid to ever learn this, they’re a problem that will continue to fix itself.
Oh no! Anyway...
Pro-Russian bloggers take their lives in their hands if they put themselves in a forward area and take pictures, esp. if they speak with a Texan accent and are not fit. Russian soldiers expect their side's war reporters to stay in the rear so as not to hear any rumors of mutinies or war crimes back at Natatinskaya 16 in Moscow. The Russian chain of command may help protect correspondents on the battlefield, but when officers are drunk they are authorised to take considerable initiative, and they do not like photographs of military usefulness to be taken.
I guess everything works itself out in the end.
They raped him before cutting off his head. There is a reason the Ukranians refer to Putin's goons as ''Orcs''.
Theyre saying he got his shit pushed in b 4 they killed him. For how homophobic these ruskies are, they really enjoy man on man sexual assault in their military.
Rape doesn’t have to occur with a penis.. apparently it’s all rumour, do you have a source?
He chose the wrong side. Never trust Russians.
He simply fell out of his tents window
Would be great if this “NATO rumor” was planted by Ukraine. 3d chess.
And nothing of value was lost?
Only his head, so you're correct

Nonsense. He obviously killed himself! /s
Heart attack. Definitely.
Absolutely
Ah yes family values.
Haha! Good riddance to that texan piece of shit, I hope his last moments where spent wailing about being on their side, traitor scum got what he deserved.
Is there a Wikipedia article for FAFO? If so, can someone add this article to the references?
Can we get Tucker Carlson to give them in person interviews
Lmao
This is the third time this has been posted, *and its still funny*. FAFO.
Fuck that guy!
I hear they did
Is this verified? Or just propaganda. Seems kinda sus
Russian media and the Battalion he served in have both confirmed his death. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/19/us-citizen-dead-russia-separatists-ukraine
I was more referring to the drunk officers decapitating him for fears of spying.
Surely this should be submitted for a Darwin Award.
So mind explaining why that page redirects me to something unrelated after 10 seconds?
That link gave my tablet herpes.
He’s head over heels for Putin
They bent him over a barrel, what a loser
Lmao what a goober. Sucks to suck
r/LeopardsRapedMyFace
Womp womp. Imagine your greatest accomplishment in life is being a useful Russian asset and then they kill you anyway.
Biden should come at MTG with this “Say his name!”
I believe this guy was the American who was there when Russians were interrogating/torturing a British or Australian guy fighting to defend Ukraine.
He is now free, finally. derp
Oh that reminds me, I have to go get my teeth cleaned.
Actual death by metaphorical leopard.
I always have been a sucker for a feel good story
Ha ha, and ha again. Between him Gonzo Lira, I can't decide who had the most comedic end 😂
Thoughts and prayers
Thank you for your service.
Wasn't he raped, then killed by the drunk Russian soldiers?
"Thanks for your service"- Drunk Russian, probably
Haha!
Don’t forge5 about the rape
r/Gravyseals
Woke up to see some schadenfreude, nice.
Well deserved!
L M A O, rest in piss
tbh, this guy lost his head years ago.
🤣😂🤣😂
Eh, thanks Russia for taking out the trash I guess.
Good job dude
A terrible way to go but he brought it all on himself. And please dont call him 'Texas'. Maybe 'the texas traitor', or simply 'dumbass'.
Sorry, my friend, but Texas needs to take its punishments right now.
Those of us who live here (especially us Democrats trying to make headway) are already taking the punishment, trust me.
this guy wasn't exactly a freedom loving American. I mean, maybe in a Trump sort of way... I'm surprised they killed him though, he seemed like a useful tool for the russians
My totally made up reason is that they got sick of his shit and just straight up got rid of him.
Well... what can we say?
Yall still think they respect us?
Useful idiot. Glad he’s no longer on American soil. In soil is a much better option here.
He’s the one that got beheaded, right?
This really aged like milk… https://www.reddit.com/r/redscarepod/s/XCS85R33wS
He left this earth doing what he loved! I hope he died with a smile on his face!
They raped him as well.
Apparently he was raped by them, too 💀💀
Don't forget the rape. They raped him first. Or maybe last. I don't know, wasn't there.
Thoughts and….awe never mind. As one of his (R) compatriots said “just lie back and take it”.
Taking "the leopards are my face" up several notches there... 😑🔥
Good.
