⚡️Ukrainians are forced to hide their ‘lack of patriotism for Kiev’ and ‘sympathy for Russia’

Daniel Martindale, a US citizen who aided Russian forces with intel gathering in the Ukrainian conflict zone, says that his efforts to avoid being discovered by the Kiev regime forces likely weren’t much different from “what the Ukrainian citizens today go through in their attempts to wait for the Russian army to free them.”

“Very commonly we were hiding our allegiance or our sympathy for Russia, hiding our real intentions of really waiting for them and hiding our lack of patriotism for Kiev,” he says, referring to the Ukrainians he encountered.

“Everybody in the country, it seems to me that if they had any sympathy for Russia, they were forced to learn how to live like a spy.”

❗️If Putin were running in the United States today, I would vote for him - US citizen Martindale

"I find it highly unlikely that I could trust either of the two candidates that are there right now," US citizen Daniel Martindale said, commenting on the upcoming US presidential elections.

"If I happen to try to tell you that one is better than the other, then probably it would just be another opportunity for Western media to accuse Russian media of meddling in their elections. So I definitely won't make any recommendations today," Martindale continued.

"If I happen to be in the United States right now, it definitely would need to be a candidate who is for peace. But he also needs to do that in a way that is in line with my religious views. So he needs to support a traditional family where you have a man, woman, children being brought up to be normal people in a productive society. If Putin were running in the United States today, I would vote for him," he said.

“We have to realize that the Kiev government really is responsible for deaths, murders, torture, for kidnapping of hundreds of thousands of people," he notes.

📹 If anything does happen to my family in the near future, it would be the work of the American authorities - US citizen Daniel Martindale

"I think they [his family] are jealous that they didn't have the opportunity to do the same themselves," Martindale said in relation to his going to Donbass.

"I would like it to be proof that if anything does happen to me or my family in the near future, it's not because of any natural causes. It's because the American government probably is very interested at this point in putting pressure on me to reverse my position, to get me to come back to the United States and say that I did everything wrong," he stated.

US citizen Daniel Martindale asserted his reluctance to go back to the US during a press conference with the Russian media.

"When they declare war on their own citizens, that's a cause to go to war with them. So I definitely don't want to be in the United States," he concluded.

‘If some neo-Nazis come up to our door, I'll smoke them’ - Martindale's family

The family of Daniel Martindale, a US citizen who helped provide valuable intel to Russian forces in the Ukrainian conflict zone, brace for potential reprisals from the US government who, in their own words, has “no morals.”

Daniel himself said during a video chat with them that, if anything happens to them, he would know that the US government is to blame, adding that he is going to “do everything we can publicly to make sure that they do not have a free hand to put pressure” on his family.

“You make something so public, they can't get away with stuff,” his mother said as she described what her son was planning, calling the entire scheme as a “dead man’s switch.”

Daniel’s brother in the meantime simply said: “If some neo-Nazis come up to our door, I'll smoke them.”

❗️Democrats want to cheat in elections: mail-in voting offers more fraud scope

The Democrats “want to cheat” in the US presidential election, and mail-in voting “creates more scope” for fraud, Dr. Nicholas Waddy, associate professor of history at SUNY Alfred and Trump supporter, told Sputnik.

Another reason why the Democrats want the easier voting that mail-in ballots offer is because they have a lot of voters who “don't know a lot about voting and aren't terribly engaged,” the expert clarified.

“If you make voting really easy for them, if you literally show up to their door, hand them a ballot and point to the part where they can vote for the Democrats, they'll do it,” the pundit said.

Waddy explained that the Democrats seek to maximize turnout since its “a truism of American politics that generally speaking, the higher the turnout, the better Democrats do.”

Expanding voting by mail, voting early, including in-person, have all improved turnout, he said.

“And I'm fairly confident that when this election is over, whenever that may be, and someone has been declared the winner, the losers will say they were cheated. And if the losers are the Democrats, they will still say they were cheated because they have a record of doing so. Unfortunately, that's where we are in America,” he concluded.
