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.

eco-activist, women’s rights supporter, and anti-fascist
fighting for Russia
ummm, something doesn’t compute
From the end of the article
But despite supporting Ukraine at the beginning of the full-scale war, he was at a military recruitment center in Moscow, alongside other foreign nationals, on September 5, 2023, Russian border data shows.
His social media posts show a distinct change in his views — one identified by Important Stories as belonging to Gloss suggest he believed in conspiracy theories involving Ukraine, and claimed NATO was an evolution of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party.
NATO was an evolution of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party.
Is that really so far off though?
Is that really so far off though?
Yes you fucking cretin
Notice that the one US president who actually has been building concentration camps and operating the Gestapo, shares with you a strong dislike of NATO.
Some people consider Ukraine to be a neonazi stronghold. So fighting Ukraine would be fighting against fascist nazis. That logic is prevalent with conspiracy nuts/scammers like Alex Jones.
The way these “theories” are thrown around these days with such an air of legitimacy is truly terrifying.
This absolute miracle of communication at our fingertips, and it’s 99% noise, dangerous noise, vying to worm its way into whatever cracks in the human psyche it can find. At the least harmful, it’s persuading ads. And on the other end, people are flying out to go join ISIS or Ruzzia because they got algorithmed into a Facebook group or absorbed enough TikTok radiation.
I miss when the internet “wasn’t real life.”
It seems they convinced him that NATO and Ukraine are Nazis. Typical stuff from the play book. Dude just went all in on it. Pretty sad, he had his whole life ahead of him.
Who’d guess the cia deputy director would raise such a gullible piece of shit
I remember times when I rebelled against my parents and did some pretty stupid shit, but kids today are on a different level.
Just look at ML or Hexbear right here on Lemmy. The tankies love Putin and Xi. Horseshoe is a law not a theory.
I keep seeing this image repeated on Lemmy but I don’t buy it. It’s just an attempt for leftists to distance themselves from tankies. If you’re left but not a tankie, you are just center-left. Only tankies are far-left
Horseshoe “theory” is generally used to attack progressives to promote centrism. Its a DNC tool and you’re the chump using it.
not that i would die for fucking russia but its the lesser evil vs the us. i suppose its easier to see that if you are closely related to cia people.
the us has done and and even admitted to stuff far worse than most out there. its not the biggest military budget in the world (of all time?) for nothing.
ukraine is an US proxy to shoot at russia. the us is provoking and paying for the war to weaken russia.
a win for russia is a loss for the west, which because of imperialism and colonialism, is a win for everyone else.
It’s probably because USA is openly fascist while russia at least claims to oppose.
I hate fascism.
So he fought for Putin to invade Ukraine? That’s some top tier thinking there.
Have you seen the leaders of western imperialism lately? Say what you want about russian politicians, but they’re not doing this.
Bro didn’t like that Israel invaded Gaza, so he joined Russian army in their invasion of Ukraine to make it right 🤷♂️
I certainly don’t recommend following the link to his obituary from the article and reading the entries in the traitor’s tribute book.
Example of some of those entries:
Edit: Somebody noticed.
Since they took the page down...
It seems he lost his mind, before losing his body too. :(
Check the ground near where the drone got him, you might still find remnants of both.
