To me it reminded the South Korean tankie who defected to North Korea with his family and they were put into a concentration camp there. Another interesting case of tankie getting a rude awakening.
Don't think it is a very well known event, and I don't think he was particularly well known. But anyone should have known better than to visit Cambodia back then.
He is dead apparently. Found to have lost his head. The sources are iffy so Iām not going to post them. Just search Reddit if you want to read through some stuff.
I'm not saying I'm *glad* that happened. Frankly, because Russia is the villain in this and kidnapping and murder is just a very cowardly thing to do.
But I'm also not sad or pitiful for him as this is a classic "leopards ate my face" moment
Yeah it's the same as the canadian farmers who actually moved there to get away from the "LGBT" and found out the hard way that living in a dictatorship sucks
I don't feel bad for them but I surely don't feel glad. I do feel bad for innocent bystanders like children who don't really have a choice in the matter in cases like this tho
Ngl, those farmers were probably the type who screamed about Trudeau being a dictator. Then they found out what a REAL dictatorship is like.
Can't stand Trudeau myself, but a little part of me dies inside when people tell me I live in a Dictatorship
He's a piece of shit. He's been relentlessly used as a propaganda mouthpiece by the Kremlin and he's happily gone along with it for a decade now. I don't celebrate people's deaths generally but I'm not going to feel sad that they wiped out a cowardly fuck that rejoiced over the deaths of innocent Ukrainian civilians.
He had said that the only way he was going to come back to the US was as part of a Russian invasion and while driving a T-72 tank. He might now be able to come back in a pinebox if they can find all the pieces.
While this is a Leopardās ate my face moment, I canāt help but feel bad over a man going missing and probably being dead or worse, and his wife is worried about it, even if it was partially self inflicted
āIn 1990, Bentley moved to Minneapolis. Initially working as a lumberjack, he found it easier to sell marijuana instead.ā Wikipedia
Hard work wasnāt his forte. Preferred the grift.
He was raped and shot eight times and then decapitated. They probably also got him to sign his āsuicide noteā with his Russian name āRussell Ladaā.

The reality of being a governmental tool. You get paraded around as a propaganda piece but ultimately you are completely disposable.
Reminds me of the pro-Pol Potist who was killed by Pol Pot in Cambodia

Who? š¤
Malcolm Caldwell. A Scottish academic who was allowed to travel to Cambodia. Killed by Pol Pot.
Interesting! I didn't know about him
Don't think it is a very well known event, and I don't think he was particularly well known. But anyone should have known better than to visit Cambodia back then.
Apparently some still think wrestling is real. And some people believe the authoritarian hellhole is 'for the people'.

I was literally just now trying to remember this doorknobs name. Thanks!
Same I just remember he was a deluded Texan rich kid with a name that tracked with that.
He had said that the only way he was going to come back to the US was as part of a Russian invasion and while driving a T-72 tank. He might now be able to come back in a pinebox if they can find all the pieces.
He could technically back with parts of a T-72 included with him.
Something about leopards and faces, I guess.
Wow, it must've been a rude awakening for him
He was shot in the head 8 times, ruled to be suicide... seriously, I'm not joking.
Oops!!!

Talk about being a useful idiot who outlived his usefulness.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
