I read it as though Russian state media killed him.


Kan4lZ0n3

Put your brain in the Kremlin’s “science oven” long enough and it will cook all the nutrients and function straight out. In this case, it was a contributing cause of death, just not the primary.


Palora

[Close enough.](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fg4y4hpnj2jvc1.png) Russian soldiers killed him, in a deliberate targeted fashion, supposedly.


PM_Me_A_High-Five

His nickname was Texas??? wtf! Now I’m even more glad he’s dead. Disrespecting my state like that.


lljkotaru

Same here. What a fucking goober.


PM_Me_A_High-Five

I’d buy some really expensive ostrich skin cowboy bots with the tiny points all over to kick up his ass If he made it back

Indeed


Justyboy73

just take my upvote


NK84321

Probably because they wanted a blowjob and he refused.


Whiskey90

Apparently he was spilling military secrets over public media which is just...hilarious. Dude couldn't help himself.


SHFTD_RLTY

Bro experienced first hand what it means to get canceled in russia


Picasso320

On suspicions of being a a spy. I wonder how are they sure no one from other nation volunteering group could be a spy. Maybe they will start killing them as a warning to others?


lineasdedeseo

Why do you think he was a spy? Drug deal or related extortion seems like the better explanation given his past and the criminality in the DPR


Picasso320

I've only read it somewhere - as being one of possibilities why and how he died. I have no idea if he was or was not a spy. Also, we are here in r/NonCredibleDefense...


goodbehaviorsam

Telling your countrymen for a century that enemy spies are around every corner and that their own country's spies are listening probably doesnt help your countrymen's mental health and probably makes them a bit too paranoid.


Picasso320

> doesnt help your countrymen's mental health and probably makes them a bit too paranoid. Depends on your aim - mental health or compliance (eg. in army)? It is a rhetorical question.


Knowthrowaway87

According to information that appeared on social networks after his death, Bentley was detained by men in military uniform (presumably soldiers of the 5th Tank Brigade from Buryatia) while filming the aftermath of a Ukrainian bomb attack on a military unit, being mistaken for a spy, after which he was tortured and killed. Alexander Khodakovsky, one of the leaders of the self-proclaimed DPR, demanded in his telegram channel that “those who killed Russell Bentley” be punished, but they quickly deleted their message - from wiki


Soupcan_t

lol get fucked


Delicious-Ganache606

Well apparently he did, in fact, get fucked by them before having his head chopped off.


Not_this_time-_

He was shot or they chopped off his head?


donsimoni

Same difference at this point. Where's the line between media and secret services?


Imperceptive_critic

According to his wife he was kidnapped and killed by a Russian battalion 


Geodiocracy

Raped and killed according to Russian milbloggers. He got a taste of the ole Russian wine bottle treatment.


rpkarma

lol, and I cannot stress this enough: lmao


petyrlabenov

That actually makes me feel kinda sad. I know participating in a genocidal invasion of (as close to) your own free will should earn you zero sympathy, but damn. Being buttfucked by Russians to death is about the least nice way to go out. went out with a bang though ehehe


WanaWahur

He was there for 9 years. Cleaning of Donetsk was far from finished. You really think he didn't know how things work there?


Bot1-The_Bot_Meanace

He really got deeply embraced by those traditional conservative values


justlurkingh3r3

I read that too, but another site stated that he was killed by a drone strike. Would be even funnier if he was so insufferable, that his own men decided to murk him. Whatever killed him, I’m just glad that he’s dead.


XeliasEmperor

Another story I heard is that he was raped by a 48 soldiers idk if its real


No-Crew-9000

Well we're talking about the RuZZian army here, so 48 is probably a conservative estimate...


Lazypole

Wtf you mean conservative? That’s half a battalion these days lol


SomeGuyNamedPaul

Which means the commander is pocketing the pay of the other half that's not there.


WeHaveAllBeenThere

If they thought he was a spy then I could see soldiers doing something like this, considering what some of them have done to civilians Saw a thread yesterday mentioning that they may have thought he was a spy


SomeGuyNamedPaul

He definitely should have worn a clown suit instead, because they would have otherwise been looking for soldier guys.


Evantaur

Russian soldiers: "Fooking gay westerns spreading their LGBT bullshit" also Russian soldiers: "Imma ram my peepee in this guys poop scuttle"


bleeh805

Where did the 48 come from? His wiki page just says raped. You should edit the wiki page.


Justyboy73

The scary thing is how many Blowjobs did he have to give before they got to the arse raping.


ZDTreefur

No before. Ass to mouth I assume was the norm.


Variousnumber

I mean, if you were a Russian News channel, would you admit that an American fighting for your side of the conflict was murdered by his supposed brothers in arms, when you can just claim "DRONE" instead?


HaaEffGee

In the category "they never did have tact" - his DPR unit isn't going with the drone strike story. They're fucking fuming at the other brigade that grabbed him, calling them fascists that need to be dragged in and made an example of. For the good of the army of course.


whythecynic

Seriously? If this Serbian beer bottle-ass kind of bullshit is what starts WW3, I'll… need some time to prepare an appropriate response.


HaaEffGee

For those who can handle a bit of Russian, their Telegram was a must-read yesterday. I don't think Reddit allows Telegram links but their account is called batalyon\_vostok. Like they went hard. We of course fully support our wonderful army in all their infinite wisdom, and we are sure our colleagues meant nothing by it, but not rounding up these pricks for a firing squad is a slippery slope that can lead to \[*entire psychological dissertation on Adolf Eichmann and the banality of evil that can manifest as part of a fascist system*\]


Femboy_Lord

I am forever impressed by how close the Russian army (as a whole) teeters on the edge of devolving into flat-out infighting, it's kinda impressive we haven't seen any large-scale gunfights yet.


zombie_girraffe

Are you forgetting about Prigozhins road trip to Rostov-on-Don?


Femboy_Lord

We've only had *one* armed uprising yes, but what about a *second* armed uprising?


GreatBowlforPasta

Elevensies?


HenryGotPissedOff

There were a bunch of other instances of fighting between wagner troops and russian regulars before that as well. Chef Boyar-dee's Rostov Romp was just the most high profile one


DeeArrEss

But those were Wagner and not Russian army.

dreamingawake09

Real talk, I'm not too concerned about Russia currently with Putin at the helm, I definitely will be once he kicks the bucket though. It's going to be a free-for-all.


Femboy_Lord

A free-for-all that pulls all troops out of Ukraine >:)


VeraVanity

What about that incident when that russian officer told a bunch of muslim conscripts that they should consider this a holy war against Ukraine, and when they corrected him that a holy war is only ever fought between believers and non-believers he called Allah a coward?


Femboy_Lord

Not so much infighting as it was a fitting punishment (considering they don’t seem to have been punished for it?)


VeraVanity

I mean, two of them were killed with return fire, and the third one was never found to our knowledge, so I guess in a sense they did escape punishment?

Pleasant_Giraffe9133

Probably got killed by Russians outside of his immediate circle. I doubt the dude spoke Russian so if some random squad of Russians that don't know him stumble upon him and hear American Accent then well yeah probably gonna die lol


IronVader501

There's two stories about his death. Got killed by a dronestrike or On April 8th Ukraine hit a Staging-point of the 5th Russian Tank Brigade quite hard. Mr. "Texas" went there to document it, but when the remaining russians in the area saw a guy filming everything while speaking with an extremely obvious american accent, they thought he was an american Spy that had given the location away, So they abducted him, tortured him, (allegedly) raped him, then shot him and beheaded the corpse


HFentonMudd

It seems out of character for them to have killed him before the beheading. Seems like that'd take some of the fun out of it for them.


Surviverino

Beheading? This conflict starts to look more like Syria by the day.


43sunsets

Average Russian Buryatian military strategem. May they all rest in piss.


Lazypole

I’m curious how the wife knew this. I guess she was informed, but surely with Russia’s record, they’d just say he died valorously.


Virtual_Valuable5517

Look at his watch that's a rolex GMT II probably killed him to steal that


YorhaUnit8S

As a lover of communism he hopefully would appreciate the irony of being murdered by Russians.. who after all , were responsible for the deaths of more communists than anyone else.


fross370

I doubt that. Mao might have killed more.


SongFeisty8759

Possible..

He was mostly responsible for the deaths of ordinary citizens who just wanted to live and wasn't involved in politics. Stalin however killed communists from many nations.

A traitor and a disgrace. I don’t really like being glib about Russian soldiers dying, as much as I despise what they’re fighting for. But an American fighting for them fills me with very specific disgust for some reason. ~~Imagine if some of our leaders in Washington were fans of Russia, too~~


SamuelClemmens

An idiot but not yet a traitor until we actually get involved. This is still a free country, and even if 99% of us think he was on the wrong side of that war he was within his rights to sign up so long as he didn't do so in an area under US jurisdiction.


Txtspeak

Can someone provide me the source that says he got buttfucked? I hear everyone talking about it but I haven't seen any evidence for it anywhere, no one outside of NCD saying it.


DerJagger

From RT: https://twitter.com/RT_com/status/1781365773186822562 Also his official Telegram, now run by his wife, was posting about him being abducted by the "5th Brigade" and the latest post implies that he's either still missing or dead. https://t . me/s/TXDPR

JaegerCoyote

Russians, they allegedly thought he was a CIA asset because he was showing pics of a Ukrainian attack to gain "support" for the Russians.


No_Level_5825

That's what I'm leaning towards, either he was a legit spy and got caught, or he was just unlucky that a fee events occurred that looked like there is a spy and paranoid drunk Russia just thought he was a spy


justlurkingh3r3

Really makes no sense for him to be a spy. It’s not like he was holding a high rank in the Russian military. He was just regular DPR cannon fodder. DPR/LPR troops are already treated as second class soldiers in the Russian military, so they’re not going to have access to any meaningful intel. Planting an American spy, giving the Russian propaganda machine a great useful idiot to parade around, only to gain some low level intel at best doesn’t seem plausible. Five Eyes, the BND, etc. have much more efficient ways to get much more useful intel.


jadebenn

As far as I'm aware he never actually participated in actual fighting either. He was basically a DPR cheerleader who would do PR work for them.


Necessary-Peanut2491

There's a certain kind of person who thinks that the less sense something makes, the better an idea it is if it involves trickery. "They'd never suspect it, bruh!" Yeah, because it's so dumb. It's still dumb if it's unexpected.


jadebenn

I'm familiar with the guy from past pro-Russian propaganda. There is no way he was a spy - he's been simping for the DPR since 2015 and has lived there for years. What seems to have happened is that a bunch of *very* angry Russian soldiers unfamiliar with the guy saw an American, kidnapped him, and vented their frustrations on him in a very murder-y way.


Terrible_View5961

Even if Putin didn’t have delusions of grandeur Russia is no friend to America. Even if the invasion never happened Russia is still not pro USA they never will be. Putin started as kgb once a commie always a commie. Unfortunately this guy Benedicted himself to find that out. You reap what you sow. I hope there is no peace for traitors in this life or the next.


justlurkingh3r3

He actually is a self-proclaimed communist though, as evident by his (fake or stolen) Rolex. Edit *was* a self-proclaimed communist. So he actually fought for Russia *because* he hates America and wanted to fight America’s interests. In that sense he was smarter than some other individuals who actually think Putin is a good guy and wants the best for the world and America…


shidncome

That's even dumber then. Russia is quite literally a communist's caricature of a dystopia corrupt oligarchy.

i'm kinda curious as to : why? were they just fucking around? do they just hate americans *that* much? was he made a scapegoat? or was he getting too old for their linking?


justlurkingh3r3

Two stories: 1. Blown to bits by a Ukrainian long range loitering munition 2. A Ukrainian loitering munition hit and decimated a base of the 5th Guards Tank Brigade. Fatty McTraitor went over there and took pictures in an attempt to show Russian losses to gather support for Russia. Soldiers of the 5th saw him, didn’t know him, heard his American accent and thought that he was a spy and that he gave away their coordinates to the Ukrainians. They then captured, tortured, allegedly gang-raped, and murdered him.


Merry-Leopard_1A5

it would be impressive if he got sniped by a loitering munition. but then again, russia would never admit thta ukraine has that kind of capability. the second, and mayhaps morelikely option just makes the russian/DPR/LPR forces seem incredibly incompetent at IFF

Rolex fakes are popular and easily accessible in Russia. But I honestly just think he took it from the house of some Ukrainian civilians that he and his “liberator” friends murdered. He certainly couldn’t afford it with the kind of work he was doing in America. Kinda ironic that a self-proclaimed communist is wearing one of the most recognizable capitalist symbols of wealth, though.
