Dougan, a former Marine and police officer, fled his home in Florida in 2016 to evade criminal charges related to a massive doxxing campaign he was accused of launching against public officials and was given asylum by the Russian government. Most recently, Dougan has posed as a journalist in Ukraine’s Donbas region, testifying at Russian public hearings and making frequent appearances on Russian state TV.

Oh look, an old school traitor. I wish him a swift military drafting by his new home.

If our CIA was used for anything other than squashing leftists they'd go over and wack this guy. He's clearly a national security risk.

To any Marine drill instructors who might read this. That guy is what happens when you hit a recruit just a little too hard. Ya knock something loose.

And yes I’m joking. Some what.

What's embarassing is russian people probably believe that bag of shit represent the whole country and it's military. Man built a career out of nowhere.

Read that as "NBC Jews:" at first. Too much Israel in the news lately, I guess.
