Fighting in a foreign war could get your home country to cancel your passport and/or impose punishments
If you fight in the Ukrainian army you will have to sign a contract for 3 years
If you fight as a "mercenary" you can be considered illegal combatant and not only get badly abused if caught, you wont be afforded all the rights under Geneva convention, and might be imposed very high penalties like 10-20 years.
Assuming you were lucky and 1-3 did not apply to you, you will still be most probably used by the Ukrainians as cannon fodder.
I seriously doubt any reddit user is legitimately considering that, but there's also the integrity factor that someone would fight a war for another country they likely have little to no interest in.
Due, so many of them have started heading there. They post pictures and what not. There are also people posting how they got there but were afraid to join when they heard the draft time period will be 3 years etc. Too many details for all of it to be fake. I would say there is a non-zero number of redditors who have atleast travelled to Ukraine.
I mean think about it. If you are leading a group of soldiers and you are given these idiots from somewhere that you hardly respect and they are dumb and excitable, and there is this big bomb that needs to be defused, who are you gonna send there?
Its like interns in companies, they always get the shittiest tasks. Same here.
I guess the same logic that interns get the shittiest tasks is the reason why so many Russian conscripts are being given the embarrassing task of being filmed weeping like little girls as they beg Mumiya on the borrowed mobile phone of the old Ukrainian lady they surrendered to so meekly to come collect them from their "training exercises"?
So there are 4 level retardation here.

My only problem is that I keep running out of popcorn

Damn... i bet it's the same dudes whose relevant experience is being the guy that stays in a corner waiting for people to come in the door in COD.
