There are also Syrians with a grudge against Russia who want to fight them. One of them is the FSA hero 'Abu TOW' who now wants to be a Javelin operator (maybe he's already there).
Yeah, I just saw this article about a group of Syrians and foreign fighters who were passing through Turkey and are now in the Ukraine: https://archive.is/crOKF
Of course, I'm going to treat it like propaganda, but if you Google "Syrians fighting in Ukraine" ALL you get is western media stories about Putin using Syrians. I just wish it wasn't so hard to know what's going on amidst all the disinformation.
What a cluster-fuck this is quickly becoming! Syrian-vs-Syrian, Chechens-vs-Syrians, Ukrainians-vs-Syrians, Russians-vs-Syrians, Ukranians-vs-Russians...
Y'know how Pool always criticizes the MSM for being dishonest, inflammatory and needlessly hyperbolic, just to get clicks and views?
Just saying.
They were always on both sides, and by "foreign" I don't even mean Russia-Russians or Ukrainian diaspora.
I mean stuff like both Spanish antifa and Swedish profa fighting for Russia, or Chechens traveling back from Syria to Europe to fight for Ukraine.
It's a Cold War, not WWIII, beanie man.
Russia is also now recruiting Syrian mercenaries to fight in Ukraine.

The guy is a legend, with by far more ATGM kills than anyone in the world. Not to be confused with Abu Hamza (a younger guy with a mullet), who's a #2 contender but he's a multitasker using just every type of weapon they had, leading infantry assaults, etc. There was also Abu Omar who taught Hamza. A thread with about The Abu Three, and where they are now (now being 2 years ago): https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/btyzci/what_ever_happened_to_abu_mullet_guy/ (my hidden comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/btyzci/what_ever_happened_to_abu_mullet_guy/ep7dxsd/).
And then there was Abu Hajar, the legendarily incompetent ISIS fighter who got all his buddies killed and recorded it all.
There were 4 Abus in their truck (and Khattab the driver).

The thread about him going to Ukraine, along with a video of his most prized kill (the fighter bombers, 2 actually because the rest was not him): https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/t7cxlr/famous_fsa_fighter_abu_tow_destroys_3_fighter/
An Abu Mullet compilation: https://archive.org/details/ode-to-abu-hamza But he's retired and a family man now.
He went home to be a family man.
To Turkey.
