    This always makes me laugh when American and UK tourists go abroad and expect people to speak English. Integrate muthafuckas!

    Call yourself an "expat" and apparently you never have to integrate.

    Back in the eighties my parents (British) bought a villa in Spain, all on it's own on a mountainside. Over the following ten years fifty - yes, fifty - other villas were built, all independently, all by Brits, all on top of each other, most without planning permission. A group of busybodies formed a HOA-style association and took over the area, building an English Shoppe with a red phone box outside where you could buy the Daily Mail and Tetley Tea, an English pub, replacing the road signs with English ones, even an English radio station. The last time we visited and decided to sell, we arrived to find they'd illegally installed a gate across the road - the PUBLIC road - and were only giving the remotes to certain worthy residents, which apparently we weren't.

    But it's okay. Because they weren't dirty migrants forcing their culture on others and refusing the integrate; they were expats just looking for a little bit of sun.

    Once I was in a country where people spoke multiple languages. One of them was English another was Spanish. I can speak Spanish, but I’m better in English.

    My friend and I went into a shop and spoke in English as most people in the city could. He just yelled at us and told us that we have to leave if we speak English.

    It was weird, because, like I said, most people speak English there and he wasn’t incapable of speaking English or even ask us to speak another language.

    We decided to leave and then he changed his tone completely and said English is OK.

    It was so weird of him to pick a fight about that. Over Oreos.

    Well Americans would probably do best to learn Spanish. The problem is it's not so clear-cut in the UK, in theory we should learn French, except the French don't appreciate it and speak English anyway. The Spanish and Germans also speak English so again there doesn't seem to be an obvious language to learn.

    If you're going to learn a language that want to give you the maximum ability to communicate with new people it'd probably be Japanese but realistically no one in the UK is going to learn Japanese.

    That's not an American specialty. Our German right wing shitheads are migrating to South American countries for example without speaking a word Spanish and without even wanting to integrate there because of all the not well integrated migrants here. Nazis in all their forms tend to be not the smartest tools in the shed.

    where does it say he complains about language and won't learn it? he's been there for like a few months, learning a language takes time (especially if you're dumb as this guy)

    Huffman has no prior military experience, DeAnna said, adding that his limited training was conducted in Russian. She suggested the language barrier has made her husband particularly unprepared for the horrors of combat.

    Ok, he didn't, his wife did. This was an important part of the article for me, the oh gosh training for Russian military is in Russian.

    I did start learning a bit of Russian once as I was dreaming of riding the Transsiberian Railway once in my life. Russian is quite different from what I speak (German, English). I just wanted to be able to read signs and say things on a "I thirsty where bar? Beer! " level.

    Btw. regarding that dream - I gave it up forever. I'll probably go for a summer beach party, when crimea is Ukrainian again. Even if they have to roll me along the beach in a wheelchair when I'm really old.

  • I hear that! you'll have an easier time with any Slavic language if you start with Russian though. I don't think I've met a slavic speaker without at least a passing understanding of Russian. now, culturally, you might get some hate... lol

    Ukrainians almost all seem to understand Russian from what i can tell... they're pretty close! maybe on second thought, ditch Russian and use Ukrainian as the lingua franca lol. I wonder how far we'd get in, like, Slovenia with that

    He would expect people to learn English before arriving in the US so the inverse should also be true. And yeah learning Russian is hard, but that's his problem. It's not like he had to leave in an emergency, the threat that he was experiencing is entirely fictional.

  • nowhere in the article does it say that he expects immigrants to America to learn English before coming. why are you lying???

    ( is that even a thing chuds commonly believe?? learning is what matters, poor English is applauded above no English. source, been there )

    this article is ridiculous and outlandish enough, why are you all fabricating details?

    He moved to a country that was actively waging a war of aggression, and joined the military expecting not to see combat. If it seems like something only a complete dumbass would do, that's because it is.

  • I didn't read anything about "refusing" to learn. They said they moved there in March 2025, less than 5 months ago. And that they are "embracing a new language and culture". there's a "language barrier" which makes sense since he's only been learning for a short time.

    the facts are sufficient for criticism that no fabrications are necessary.

    Immigrants in the US won’t serve in the military for citizenship!

    This pathway was closed by Trump.

    I wanted to serve in the military to earn my citizenship, that way the local can’t say I didn’t earn it.

    Gimme one of them non-combat roles though, I don’t want any of that war business. Which is all pointless because the second a Russian asks him “what role did you serve in the military?” He’d simply reply “huh, can you speak English?” I also love the idea of him believing he’d be a correspondent despite being unable to speak Russian. Im sure his wife and daughters will enjoy their time in Russia when his military career blossoms.

    Dude joins the Russian military to earn his place in Russian society and hopes to be seen as one of the Russians, is surprised that he gets treated like a Russian.

    Also dude complains about migrants in the US wanting free handouts, goes to Russia and then complains that he doesn’t get special treatment.

    Makes you wonder if they acknowledge how bad they messed up. Or is this fine because they escaped the woke. I love the part in the article that says they followed some other influencer trying to get people to move, but was only able to get this family and 1 other to do it. A lot of dumb choices here, its amazing how they somehow feel like they were wronged when they had to do a lot of choices to get to this point.

    dude if someone wrote this for a movie people would say it's too on the nose.

    moving to another country to avoid "indoctrination" is exactly what a movie character would do as a metaphor for inner struggle.

    being sent to die for a fascistic country would be the metaphor for the idea that running away from your self by finding refuge in reactionary attitudes inevitably kills you inside.

    What does his commanding officer do just roll his eyes in point at things?

    Due to his inability to understand the language and his complete lack of any military experience, I have to assume he's more of a liability than an asset.

    Ukrainian officials estimated this week that more than 1 million Russian soldiers have died in the conflict

    I just wanna call this out as misinfo. Ukraine's claimed numbers are casualties which includes killed and wounded. I don't know if Ukraine has any claim for number killed, but estimates are around 300k, though the fact that Russia sends soldiers on crutches to the front lines, some of those might be double counted.

    Plus the wife is a sober alcoholic (according to her own videos, she did drink a real beer since her husband joined the military), the while situation won't make it easy for her to stay sober. Poor kids.

    And I guess there aren't that many countries that might be less suited to move to if you had alcohol problems in your past.
