If you moved your subtitles to the top, the subscribe button wouldn't get in the way.
"I am homeless and don't have my life together........I join the Russian ARMY and STEAL someone else's home. Problem Solved!!"
you can say that for most armies in the world. usa, uk... name it..
@@maler8429 you doing the "what about" argument here? Smh yikes
Thats what happens in every war
Dude he didint steal a Ukrainian home they gave him a military base in belogrod to sleep in which is in Russia not Ukraine
@@iamaloafofbread8926 hypocrite 😅 smh
Trust the Guardian to cover up the all important subtitles with a subscribe button
Get a bigger phone. I can see it Just fine
@@melvinjansen2338 so they're in the phone business then
TV shows do same irritating.
@@ryanlawrence9010 yes, you'd think they'd know and do something about it, but don't seem to care if they do
I don’t know what’s worse that or your user name
In other words, he was fighting for blood money.
Lol same as UK, American, Canadian soldiers for the past 20 years,
@@chromaticturtle8657 Are they also very poor?
@@mirror5076 apparently just extra bloodthirsty then?
Pretty much I don’t feel sorry in the slightest
@@lizzyinthecut3617or maybe they wanna protect there country
Nothing to eat but got plenty of money to buy cigs
People are addicted. I was a smoker once. It's more important than food for many people out there.
You can eat cigs
Healthy options to eat, but people buy fast food and fried snacks lol
Idk where you’re from but in Russia and Eastern Europe cigarettes are pretty cheap compared to the West
That was before he joined the military
This is not "Life Experience," it is "Death Experience."
this guy makes it sound like he was going to do humanitarian aid work and find himself rather than going to invade a country and commit war crimes smh
вам тут показывают вранье
Well Ukrainian aid donations make it sound like you are paying to do humanitarian work, but you paid for 1/700th part of an artillery shell package that will be used to bomb donetsk children or will miss entirety due to incompetent leadership and still ongoing corruption. "Aid" as usual
How do you know he committed war crimes?
Russia launched the war but that is not a crime otherwise every soldier in US is a war criminal😊
@@Jankab26
Nope,it is the truth
@@Jankab26sure
My mama needed a washing machine
Россия настолько бедная страна, что Украинцы до войны ездили в Россию на заработки, но не наоборот 😂
Would be great to be able to read the subtitles and understand what he’s saying.
But the logo is in the way.
yeah, I agree, making subtitles readable is too easy for people...
I feel very little sympathy for someone choosing to enlist to invade Ukraine and losing their friend in an ambush. It’s actually ironic that he is holding a grenade in the photo he’s showing, as it’s a tool he’s intending to use for killing the people he’s invading. He knew the risks of going to war. He did not choose to live and let live.
Did NATO chose to live and let live when they decided to increase their presence on Russias border?
@@NoName-vy8vu - The only reason why NATO still exist is because of Russias record of invading its neighbors. Every former member of the Soviet Union wants two thing
s - membership in NATO and nothing to do with Russia every again. Russia is trying to build a frigging empire in the 21st century by force, invading its neighbors and committing massive numbers of war crimes & crimes against humanity and the civilized world is not going to just stand by and watch it happen again.
You shouldn't blame individual soldiers for the actions of their government. All soldiers are the same, they live and die according to the will of their political master.
@@NoName-vy8vuYes. Yes they did.
@@NoName-vy8vuRussia does NOT have any rights to a sphere of influence over Ukraine. Ukraine does. 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraina!
“There was no such slaughter in his grandfathers time”??
I think his grandad served AFTER ww2 not during. Maybe Vietnam war or just before
Afghanistan was resort vs Ukraine
His grandfather was definitly to young or not even born to serve in WW2. He is talking about different conflicts
@@pfw4568 probably Chechnya, or Afghanistan
WWII is your great grandads war.
You don’t have to go to war for life experience. For that all you need is life.
He was going for the "life experience", to end somebody else's life...
Better stay home and sort out your social problems there than go to Ukraine as sunflower fertilizer, non!!??
Tell that to nato mercenaries 😎
I think i understand, he doesn't want to fix himself he wanted a reason to end it all
Better to be homeless than to be fertilizer
'I wanted to go to Ukraine and change myself' into a criminal, murderer and looter
I seriously doubt the Azov Battalion would want him.
People have better life experiences by meditating or going out in the rural areas to go camping rather than going to a warzone where being a soldier they would experience trauma in their lives. That mental trauma of watching their mates get killed is not healthy at all.
Why is no one talking about how wise his grandmother is?
Мама с пониманием, но без мозгов.
The "subscribe" and "superthanks" overlays make it the subtitles hard to read.
I would love to watch it but I can’t read the subtitles
I am not entirely sure what he is saying, but am I meant to feel sorry for him, or what?
It's just a story being told, why do you need to be told what to feel?
As fluently speaker of russian. I assure you , that translate subtitles 100% is correct.
There are no winners in war.
Winners write the history. Just like Soviet Union made WW2 Germany look worse. When SU killed 10 mil in Ukraine by famine. Sent children's to the front and lost 20% of entire population. Killed all the intelectuals and inovators. Deported 17 mil people and persecuted millions until total braiwashing.
Democrats……duh
The elites always win.
well, ukraine is about to win when crimea is free in a few months
Us vs Iraq
Channel owner, there's plenty of space on the screen for the subtitles ... in your clip they're hidden behind the video title and logo, I'm SORRY but therefore they're totally unreadable.
This clip is a complete waste of time!
The fact that this man’s grandma had reservations about him going because “there was no such slaughter going on in his time” is horrifying honestly.
I mean to say that his grandpas experience in WW2 was less (assuming much less) of a massacre is just mind boggling.
Russias losses in ww2 were the worst in history, yet she thinks it wasn’t as bad as Ukraine? The level of massacre of Russian troops is just unthinkable. Yet Putin gladly sends these men to their deaths, and yet there are people lining up to go to Ukraine, mostly just due to the big paycheck for their family.
Russia has truly hit a new level of depravity, and it’s own citizens are at the heart of it almost as much as the Ukrainians are. Not quite as bad as the Ukrainians have it, but Russian soldiers are close to having it just as bad as ukraine.
Slava ukraini, I hope for both sides sake that this war ends soon.
Bravo he fight for his nation not for NATO.❤❤❤❤ India
...try to resolve some serious issues in India, extreme poverty, overpopulation, pollution, religious tensions, the injurious, medieval caste system, the authoritarian regime of Modi... Instead of passing critique on NATO...(Which U don't know ANYTHING about...🤢)
Hi is Not a sharpest pencil in the box , that’s for sure
Subtitles are too blurred to read.
“I joined in the invasion of a friendly nation for the life experience.” Glad this dude got to see his friends get wiped out in front of him. Hopefully, he’s next…
Yep. Hopefully he gets sent back
If your version of friendly is Ukrainian Army slaughtering Russians in Donbas for 8 years. I don't know, do you want that done to your family and call that friendly?
You fight war or your imprisoned or killed. It’s up to the political leader that’s why people are dying
Wait until your Country forces you to fight a war you don't believe in! They are fed different news and beliefs about the war JUST like our media controls our narrative! They believe they're liberating the Crimean peninsula because Crimean voters ASKED and VOTED for such! It's not as simple as an invasion so before you wish anyone death, maybe you should ACTUALLY research WHY Ukraine and Russia are at war instead of copying everyone else and hating while being completely ignorant to the truth! I don't agree with the war in Ukraine and I KNOW it could've been prevented but other countries are fueling the flames while watching both countries slaughter each other while they sit back getting richer!
@@floatahhh that is why the pen is mightier than the sword. peace agreements are written with a pen. swords only write in blood. brutal lol
All because one man decides there should be a war, Putain is his name.
I feel sorry for this guy…hope he gets home safely…
You don’t go to war for experience, you go because you think it’s a war worth fighting for
If you living in California or Chicago, you don't need to get wars experience going to Ukraine, just go on the streets and "democracy" will give you all Expirance you searching.
I can’t see the subtitles cos “Subscribe” is in the way
Putin can’t even defeat Ukraine a country with the same population as California. Hey that Russian military is mighty. 🤪😂🤣😆
❤️❤️❤️🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
I voted dislike this video because they have all the captions partially covered up so pain to try to read it.
The captions are covered by the overlay
"No such slaughter in grandpa's time". Yes, stay home, Russians.
You fight for a country that don't even feed you how about you fight and change your government for a better life instead of going to other peoples country
My guess instead he went to help fertilize ukraine
Blud went from being homeless with nothing to eat, to homeless with nothing to eat while constantly being shot at n shelled all day every day. Bro going backwards
Txt covered with sbtitles...get it together
So why did he go to war then ?
Im guessing he joined army to feed himself but didnt expect to be sent to war
Oh yeah, let’s pity poor Russians 🤡
yeah so dumb😅
Shut up girl
@@Dannyboy16434 is there someone angry?🫢
At the end of the day, they're victims as well. The one the people should hate is Putin and his regime but it's not like comments in youtube make a difference.
No one asked for a face reveal
No such shaughter in your grandads time
- Taliban enters chat
Bite the hand that feeds you
Booohhooo my friend died…
This is to glamorise war push young men into going
war is kinda fun though. if you don't die and can swing a larger "sword" than your enemy faster, stronger and with more skill.
Где записаться 😅 не где жить ? Мама папа бабушка присутствуют
I couldn’t understand . It was all in Russian .
No empathy for this guy
Друг я жилаю вам удачи, даже если была трудная жизнь. Слава Украине 🇷🇺♥️🇺🇦
Добрый 👍

Looks un happy some trauma
i feel no sympathy at all
Dude wanted to "work on himself" by joining an army of rapists and child murderers. Smh
Lies
Yeah it usually turns out bad when the young join the military to fix their lives. A lot of innocent people get hurt or killed because of it.
Plot twist he was conscripted.
Respekt
Putin devil devil mad
Yellow journalism
Go Russia! Bury Ukraine!
No it's not russia vs ukraine... it's actually russia vs nato... so bury nato
@@sureshsanji8602
If it was against NATO,russia would have been destroyed long ago
@George Cristian Cripcia there is no such thing called Nato.. its just US
Sometimes i don't get it, why support Russia?
@@captainstag8189 why support Ukraine?!
Before no food to eat, now you can eat weapons, breakfast weapons diner ammo,soon go to the sky.🤭🤭
Sometimes war or violence is the only way to get out the hood that is universal
🤔 WHAT'S SO 💔 ALL OF PUTIN MEN THAT WENT TO 🇺🇦 FOR PUTIN WAR GOT KILLED 😂 JUST TO MAKE PUTIN HAPPY. 😂
🤡 russians
says the person from usa
Your country is constantly waging wars around the world. Throughout U.S. history.

@@musicilya6674 At least the United States has a coherent military
To die!
Me and my entire Khazarian family love to watch the Russians destroy the Bandera plague on our behalf.
No matter which side has your sympathies, you should always understand that war isn't black and white. If both sides send 100.000 soldiers each, you have 200.000 different stories to listen to.
@@michaelkovacic2608 very true every soldier in my opinion is an honorable man. even my enemy. if you have courage to fight and die for your country you are a warrior.
You can reach out to the cia🇺🇲
He's N30N4Z1
Oh and all urinas are living now)) in memories🤣🤣
to bad he came back alife
edgy
Says the keyboard warrior
I was thinking the same thing..
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇬🇧 🤜
😂😂😂 жалкие
Zelenskyy stop the war
How can Zelensky stop it while Putin is still actively trying to co qure Zelenskyes nation?
@@owenthomas5103 he could send ceasefire and Putin will accept
I feel so sorry for that man. Mislead by the Russian Government and lost a number of friends for what? Putin's ego!
He said he went to invade Ukraine for "life experience". I don't feel sorry for him.
To defend Russias sovereignty in the face of mounting NATO presence on its borders ? Hello? Anyone home?
@@drewmalesky9869 Well he got life experience.
@@NoName-vy8vu You have it backwards. Russia is the invader. Russia is challenging Ukrainian sovereignty. But you knew that already.
Why did this war start tell me??The west should have denied Ukraine nato membership and countless lives could have been saved ?
Respect Strong Russian Soldiers!
Criminal
It's not strong to blindly follow evil orders and tune a blind eye to being used as cannon fodder in someone else's game.
@@owenthomas5103your in ukrain!?😆😆😆
@@owenthomas5103 honestly there's nothing a soldier can do about it esp in russia dude. there are consequences involved with mutiny and fear is a powerful weapon. in the us you go to jail for mutiny and not just county jail military jail then on top of that federal prison for a very long time. in russia you are executed and i bet your entire family will have a hard time living there so probably will have to relocate. the world isn't america or the country you are from everyone has their own laws and cultures
Слава Россие! 💞💞💞
