Very much bullshitting. He kept bringing up the $20k bonus for signing up as a contract soldier for Russia, and said they wished that kind of deal in Ukraine. Euromaidan was a Western psyop, with paid thugs coming in rough up anyone who opposed it, Ukraine’s military was corrupt and mismanaging the war, he wished he could live in Russia and travel freely, lots of exciting stuff.

Eventually, what I told him was that as long as he sent me comment replies filled with bullshit, I was planning on making posts that contradicted his narrative, so the sum total of influence each of his comments would have on the narrative would be against his favored position. I posted the Euromaidan article to !wikipedia@lemmy.world and sent him the link. Weirdly enough, he suddenly hasn’t been interested in talking about it any further since then.
