Numerous reports have been circulating much of today (Sunday, May 15, 2022) claiming that a U.S. Military Commander surrendered to Russian forces from the Azovstal Steel Mill in Mariupol, Ukraine. As of 6:17 PM EDT, a photo purported to be U.S. Navy Admiral Eric Olson, has been released allegedly showing the Admiral under arrest by Russian troops.

The photo, featured above, is claimed to be Admiral Eric T. Olsen.

From Wikipedia:
Eric Thor Olson (born January 24, 1952) is a retired United States Navy admiral who last served as the eighth Commander, U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) from July 2, 2007 to August 8, 2011. He previously served as Deputy Commander, U.S. Special Operations Command from 2003 to July 2007. Olson was the first Navy SEAL ever to be appointed to three-star and four-star flag rank, as well as the first naval officer to be USSOCOM's combatant commander.

He took command from Army General Bryan D. Brown in 2007.[1] Brown and Olson had served together at the SOCOM headquarters in Tampa for four years.

He retired from active duty on August 22, 2011 after over 38 years of service. He relinquished command of SOCOM to Admiral William H. McRaven the same day. Along with U.S. Admiral Olson (Ret'd), British Lieutenant Colonel John Bailey and 4 NATO military instructors also allegedly surrendered to Russia.

There is also news of Canadian, French, and Turkish military officers still hiding inside tunnels beneath the Azovstal Steel Mill in Mariupol.

What these men were allegedly doing there and who sent them there, is not yet known.

If confirmed by the Pentagon, the massive question this raises is why are U.S. military officers, and the military officers from other NATO countries, inside Ukraine at all, and who authorized them to participate in waging undeclared war upon Russia?

(Hal Turner Remark: I have reached out to the Pentagon Public Affairs Duty Officer via the off-hours/Weekend media contact telephone number, seeking Pentagon comment. The Duty Officer I spoke with requested I send them details via email, which has been done.

Eastern Propaganda. Few ex US military personnel are fighting in Ukraine because Dept of Defense made it clear that joining would cause their payments and pensions to be cut.

Fake news. Wishful thinking. Eastern Propaganda

I don't even believe this story

Well, the US won't confirm or deny such news.

With the amount of US weapon shiped to Ukraine, US military personnel will be on ground to train and coordinate the Ukrainians.

1stGenAmerican:


This guy was supposedly on the frontline fighting, not doing weapon coordination. The US isn’t obligated to confirm this news, it’s simple to find his family and verify the truth or lie.

The article is asking what a retired military officer is doing in Ukraine. If he volunteered to fight for Ukraine, how is that NATO or US’ business?

veraagwai:
what was he doing there

baralatie:

Okay if it is an argument of been a volunteer but a high asset such as that nullifies that line of argument.
Such a price can not be seen to associate himself with such a behaviour

pacino26:
This is not a drill I repeat this is not a drill. For him to surrender I am sure preparations have been made for a diplomatic exchange.

The man is highly decorated and should have stayed back like the Samurais of ancient Japan, either falling in battle or by sepukun.
