    I think this is the guy, although the account is long deleted. he had Medic or something in his username He was going by u/spindokto and made a few posts over the Reddit Brigade saga

    https://old.reddit.com/r/volunteersForUkraine/comments/tdmxqs/proof_for_everyone_in_denial/

    (new and improved link; you lose all the dumbass reddit comments, but you can look at the pics he posted and his profile using waybackmachine link)

    This was the 3rd or 4th post IIRC, directly after the Foreign Legion barracks got Iskander’d (or was it Kinzhal’d? I don’t remember) and he was telling people to stay the fuck away because these weren’t “a bunch of insurgents with AKs and Toyotas”

    E) and for future reference, sometimes it’s easier to search here for reddit posts as they get submitted to dunktank or whatever. That’s how I got here, searching Hexbear comments for “Reddit Brigade” to find relevant thread, then look for reddit links in those threads.

    E2) IIRC the next parts of his saga were admitting on reddit he and some other guys were going to disguise themselves as red cross to sneak out of the country. I don’t think anyone here ever really kept tabs on them after that. Haven’t been able to track down newer posts so far but I’m also losing interest so shrug-outta-hecks )
