What a waste… RIP. I wonder how he ended up getting sent to the meat grinder. I had assumed people with resources were able to buy their way out but maybe not, or just bad luck.

Maybe it was his choice.

RIP.

> I wonder how he ended up getting sent to the meat grinder.

ALL of my Ukraininan friends, including a classmate of 6 years who immigrated to Ukraine from Russia are volunteering to fight this war, or work as volunteers for a relief effort, 2 women included, who went back to Ukraine after living for years in Canada. And I am not some crazy nationalist. I just have a taste in finding people who are best, and brightest.

So far, in my contact list: 1 owner of a SMT factory from Kiyv, chief agronomist in a large farm enterprise in the south, 3 senior software developers who were making 6 digits up to the point the decided to go to war.

Wouldn’t they provide the best impact as relief works or as logistical sponsors? It’s not like Ukraine is short on bodies, it needs food, guns and logistics, most of your friends would have had a greater impact by providing that.

You mean, let some dumber guys do the dying?

You're in a hole, stop digging!

maybe he had higher priorities than his own comfort?

What a cynical view. Isn’t it possible that he volunteered or served willingly to defend his homeland after it was attacked unprovoked by a country that is trying to take it over and end his freedoms and way of life?

Your comment sounds like something the pro-Russia American “conservatives” would say. Should he have just let them have his country rather than putting himself at risk?
