Dougan, a former Marine and police officer, fled his home in Florida in 2016 to evade criminal charges related to a massive doxxing campaign he was accused of launching against public officials and was given asylum by the Russian government. Most recently, Dougan has posed as a journalist in Ukraine’s Donbas region, testifying at Russian public hearings and making frequent appearances on Russian state TV.

Oh look, an old school traitor. I wish him a swift military drafting by his new home.

I think his usefulness to them as a prop will remain greater than his usefulness as cannon fodder for the time being.
