More background on OP’s source, from Firearms News

Meet Russell Bentley, a self-proclaimed communist and transplanted Texan often seen wearing a cowboy hat with a red star, the son of a wealthy businessman now actively fighting with Stalinist communist rebels and parroting the Putin line.

“This is Tejas [“Texas’ ] on the frontline with the De-Nazifiers and the Liberators of Ukraine,” he proclaims. “We’re gettin’ ready to bring the hammer down. These guys are going to save and liberate all the good people of Ukraine. And the bad people? BOOM! Kick their ass.”

During the interview, Bentley related how he ran for the U.S. Senate as an “independent,” but was “glad” to see “the greatest U.S. senator of modern history,” the late Paul Wellstone (a doctrinaire gun-grabber) win. In other words, Bentley supports citizen disarmament when those citizens don’t support him. So naturally he parroted the same line as Coach Red Pill, bad-mouthing Ukraine arming its citizens, saying “it’s been the Wild West and Mad Max ever since” in Kyiv. Celente nodded in concerned agreement.

Bentley’s message: Western media reports of civilian casualties are flat-out lies. The Ukrainians are using civilians as human shields. Western weapons going to Ukraine are futile. The Azov Battalion is “the genuine ‘Heil Hitler’ neo-nazi hardcore super-special forces.” Right Sector is a “Nazi group.” The Russians are basically acting in defense of themselves and against “cleansing operations.” They don’t want to occupy Ukraine; they just want to change the government (figure that bit of doubletalk out). This is “a liberation.” The biolabs were weapons labs “collecting the DNA samples of Russian people.” This is the same thing as D-Day against the Nazis.
