Ryan Routh was also recruiting military men to go fight for Ukraine. Glad we agree


We don't. He was recruiting volunteers.

The Trump Tower bomber was not

Do you understand the difference in volunteering and being paid? Yes or no

CNN is also now reporting he was a Green Beret. I think we are going to find out alot more crazy stuff about this guy.

We are likely to find out that multiple people on each bombers unit notified people of behavior and it wasn’t investigated. It would be highly unusual for someone that believes like them to be able to control it

That the Trump Bomber was recruiting military men for Ukraine? No it isn't. Ryan Routh, the second assassin that tried to kill Trump was also obsessed with Ukraine. This is a pattern.

That's just not true. He could be I don't know and don't care at this point.
But recruiting can easily be part of ones paid job. Could have been a side hustle and one that paid well. Anyway there is more to learn here I think.

Is there any evidence anyone was actually paid? I just posted an article saying he was a laughingstock and didn't do anything in Ukraine.

And it doesn't matter either way. If you are being paid or not and recruiting Military Men for Ukraine you are a Huge Supporter of Ukraine. This was a Green Beret surely his job doesn't require him to recruit Military Men for Ukraine. He was not getting paid like SFP claims. It's in his tweet. He was referring him to the guy paying the contract.

You don't know what a Merc is. And it's silly for you to try.

Your argument was he wasn't offering them money he was only recruiting volunteers. Now once I proved you wrong you ask.

"Is there any evidence anyone was actually paid?"

One thing your smart arse can't deny. Whatever he was up to he was willing to die for it.

Now, I’ll freely admit that I have no experience here, but doesn’t $550 a day sound a bit light for this kind of stuff?

Maybe you get off on the work, but literally risking your life in a shithole country for that kind of money?

I get this is more than a grunt gets in the Army, but that’s a different premise altogether.

You really think Ukrainian military is going to turn down someone that’s willing to fight and/or recruit for them?

Dude, they’re throwing guys with one leg out there after already having the other blown off. They’re desperate for ANYONE to fight.

Yes I do. The bomber was not a Merc. He was recruiting Mercenaries for Ukraine though. His tweet was saying he was going to send him to the guy paying the contract. He was not actually paying the guy.

That's 16,500 in a 30 day month. That actually seems high compared to what I read other foreign volunteers from other countries being paid in Ukraine on X. The range was usually between $4500-$7000 a month but those were from countries like Brazil or Georgia. Not really sure to be honest
