Can't see his face. Pretty iffy.

If the Russkies had this guy his face would be all over the place, along with whatever ID he was carrying.

If he was there, he wouldn't be carrying I.D. As he's not supposed to be there. Nor do you negotiate via press release on black ops.

If it is actually the case that U.S. (and Canadian) senior military personnel were operating in Azovstal with the Azov battallion, then that is undeclared hot war of these nations (and therefore, I guess, NATO) on Russia. In such a case, Russia is going to keep the information tightly controlled and use it if necessary to justify whatever counterattack on the West they feel they need to perform. My best guess is, Putin will nuke the UK into oblivion and offer NATO unconditional surrender.

And if the response is not immediate and affirmative, the rest of the West gets it too.

Unless he got super cut to the point that it drastically changed the appearance of his face then it isn't him. The chin does not match at all, the soldier has a pronounced dimple and appears to have a wider jaw and longer jawline. With that said going from 20% body fat to 2% can do crazy things to how you look.

Do you ever get the impression that those in power fund efforts to destabilise conversation by encouraging the left to infiltrate places like this and post knowingly incorrect information in what appears to be close to breaking news but on the edge of conspiracy only to be shot down by the residing community in a futile attempt to maintain intellectual composure, yet once it's out there it delegitimises any valid conversation that resembles the original subject material. It turns the frogs gay!

What else do you have, other than this picture which looks like a different dude?

I mean, I WANT this to be true, because it seems very likely and absolutely in character, but I want to be sure, too.
