First Reported Dutch NATO Proxy Dood aka Dead in Ukraine
Dutch (-man, -woman, he/she/it/they/them) Ron Vogelaar (55), a foreign volunteer in Ukraine fighting alongside the Nato trained Armed Forces of Ukraine has been killed in Ukraine in what is the first reported death of a Dutch Nato proxy in Ukraine.
As dead as a dodo dood.
Per reports, he was struck by artillery and died instantly on May 4, 2022.
He "never regretted the decision"... what, after he was killed? Bet he didn't. Something tells he had nothing to regret with.
As the saying goes, If you're a hero in the infantry Ukrainian foreign legion, you are either dead (dood) or a fucking liar.
In more literary reference, Russian poet Pushkin has something to say on the matter.
What stirs ye?
Is it that this nation,
On Moscow’s flaming walls, blood-slaked and ruin-quench’d,
Spurn’d back the insolent dictation
Of Him before whose nod ye blenched?
Is it that into dust we shatter’d,
The Dagon that weigh’d down all earth so wearily,
And our best blood so freely scatter’d,
To buy for Europe peace and liberty?
Ye’re bold of tongue — but hark, would ye in deed but try it
Or is the hero, now reclined in laurelled quiet,
Too weak to fix once more, Izmail’s red bayonet?
Or hath the Russian Tsar ever, in vain commanded?
Or must we meet all Europe banded?
Have we forgot to conquer yet?
Or rather, shall they not, from Perm to Tauris’ fountains,’
From the hot Colchian steppes, to Finland’s icy mountains,
From the grey, half-shatter’d wall,
To fair Kathay, in dotage buried
A steely rampart, close and serried,
Rise, Russia’s warriors, one and all?
Then send your numbers without number,
Your madden’d sons, your goaded slaves,
In Russia’s plains there’s room to slumber,
And well they’ll know their brethren’s graves!
