A former American city council member who is wanted in the United States on child pornography charges appears to have fled to Russia and joined the Russian military, according to footage shared by regional authorities in the northern Khanty-Mansi autonomous district.
Wilmer Puello-Mota, former city councilor of Holyoke, Massachusetts, reportedly left the United States on Jan. 7 in violation of court orders while being tried in Rhode Island for possession of child pornography.
The Massachusetts-based newspaper The Republican reported last month that people who know Puello-Mota had recognized his voice in a short video showing the capture of the Ukrainian town of Avdiivka in February.
Headline could have been about any one of countless republicans
Oh if only those countless republicans walked the talk and actually move there since they love Putin so much.
Cool, so he’s probably going to die soon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nah, he’s too valuable as Russian propaganda
valuable
Till he’s not, or worse, becomes a liability.
Once he’s washed up there, would be funny if they extradited him back to the US. Double whammy if he ever makes it back.
Knock on wood
So how long until we see this guy pop up again, but in FPV drone footage, seconds before his demise?
I don’t want him in the Ukraine, doing the same things he was doing in the US.
Don’t worry, Russia will put him on the front line.

I mean, if he doesn’t get special treatment it’s a death sentence…
But I’m betting Russia keeps him safe as a propaganda piece
He needs to keep busy to stay relevant.
Even in that case I think he missed a memo on Russian military.
Well that’s one way to avoid being held responsible for your actions, I guess?
If he survives does he get Russian citizenship or something? Hard to believe going to fight in a foreign war of aggression is a smart move, but I guess he figures the alternative is a long time in prison?

Guy volunteered for a death sentence
child pornography charges
I hope Ukraine efficiently destroys him.

It’s a bold strategy, Cotton
He got converted to the good side by the Russians not by Religion, hallelujah!! 🙌🙌
