No, I don't think he switched sides. A brief 10 second clip in the tweet, but yes, that is our Malcolm!!

1. Stay safe, Malcolm Nance -- we need you back in one piece!

2. I thought he was already back.

5. He came back for...

About ten days, hit the book tour and before anyone knew it, he was back in Ukraine. I suspect his special skills are being put to good use in this new push to rout the fassians.

7. "fassians"? You used it twice. I'm not familiar with that term and Google wasn't a help. . . nt

8. I couldn't find anything specific except...

...for a posting on a tumbler blog about "the children of Fas" woh as such believe that everything that was happened up to today contributes to ones fate. I'm not sure if its real or an extension of some lore from Warhammer (since the author referenced in in the tumbler blog)

There is slight tenuous link between this concept and some of the current Russian political philosophers (like that dude's daughter who was recently blown up)

That's as far as I can see it- unless the other poster can shed some light.

SO in summary, I think (huge grains of salt please) "fassians" is being used here as a derogatory term for Russians who believe their fate is to succeed or die trying.

9. New term I've seen in...

The past few days.

Fascists + russians = fassians. Can't recall where I saw it first but I think it was in one of the videos of Ukrainian villages being liberated and some of the women interviewed called them fassians.

I like it, thought I'd spread it around some since it's a term I saw Ukrainians use.

12. Yikes!

I stand corrected!

I made that up and I didn't even know it! The term I meant to use was;

Russcists! I saw it on the twitter thingy again today.

Wow, I think that was a complete dyslexic event there, not only did I have the letters wrong, I was using the discarded portions of the combined words of the original term I misquoted! Wow. It might be a linguistic anomaly never before seen in our language!

If you have a sense of humor, dyslexia can be pretty funny sometimes.

3. Did he say

Did he say “What now, bitches?”

[blue-wave]

4. That's what I heard too

Most likely directed at the Russians.

[2naSalit]

6. Yes he did...

It's from a twit-post from last week. He's challenging the fassians.

10. This makes me smile

11. My money's on the Russians showing him for propaganda purposes
