I guess this is more of a blog thread thing than a Syria thread thing.
Anyway, my uncle is at the airport leaving for Ukraine, well Poland. He's an idiot he should have went to France or somewhere less suspicious, it's illegal to do what he is doing in this country and he could easily be stopped by customs if he does not have a good cover story.
I talked to him about it a few days ago, his idea of the war is quite pro-Ukrainian and he does not seem to understand how serious this is. It's pointless arguing with him as he just gets emotional and yells at you so I didn't challenge him on his idea of the Ukrainians being super soldiers and the Russians being completely incompetent and anything that goes against that being fake, I just asked what would happen if Russia mobilised the whole country and actually went to war and again he still things it's like a game or something and that the Russians won't be able to do anything no matter how many there are.
A lot of how he talks about it is like that, like he says that if he does not have a rifle with an optic rail he will just take it from a dead Russian, he says that he does not understand why the Ukrainians just sit in their trenches in the Donbass they should get out the trenches and suppress the Russians with their rifles and then advance on them, he said he was not going to accept prisoners either and he would kill them, as I said I don't really bother arguing with him I just told him that was a war crime and said that if nothing else a Russian POW can be traded for a Ukrainian one.
He's alt-right and has some strange ideas, I think he watches too much Youtube. He was stockpiling pasta before because he thinks the economy is going to collapse and he got chocolate as well because he says that can be used to attract women(just how bad does he think it will get), he thinks he will be back from Ukraine by Christmas.
Maybe he will, he's not going to the Donbass or Kherson. Where he is going it's pretty quite, it's still a war of course but if he really is only going for a few months then he might be okay.
