Never heard of the guy and don’t remember any articles about him posted here.
Given that, why is he news now?
(rhetorical, we all it serves the purposes of the Neocons)
He’s news right now because of all the rumors about what the Chechens/Buryats did to him before they killed him.
There was an article posted here a few days ago and I thought “Oh my. A mercenary got killed. What are the odds?”
