Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Michael Gloss, 21, was the son of CIA Deputy Director for Digital Innovation Julianne Gallina Gloss, and Iraq war veteran Larry Gloss.

Before arriving in Russia on August 13, 2023, Gloss was travelling around Europe. On his Vkontakte page bio, he wrote: "I ran away from home (and) traveled the world. I hate fascism."

On April 4, 2024, he was killed, likely during a Russian offensive near Bakhmut, however, his burial in the U.S. did not take place until December 2024, Important Stories reports.

How does someone keep a security clearance high enough to be a CIA Deputy Director when you have a child fighting in a foreign army?

I hate fascism so I join the Russian army

I hate having to watch mental gymnastics like that right before going to sleep. How dumb is you

Sounds like a good kill. Chose the wrong side, should have stayed home.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 27 points 6 days ago

There’s a ton of comments about this on r/securityclearance about this and how crazy it is his parents still have clearances.

Being a russian asset seems to be a requirement now for government security clearances.

I encourage any MAGA to be outraged, and join the Russian army to exact their revenge on behalf of one of their own.
