you would be considered a traitor if you retained your original country's citizenship and took up arms or plotted the overthrow of your home country.

well it would depend. i wouldn't suggest joining the Iranian military, but as far as serving in the Canadian military, or the Russian military, i don't think you would be considered a traitor. you would first have to take up residency in said country. for example. lets say that my family had recently moved to Great Britain, which is an ally of the United States. If i were to meet all of the requirement to join the British army, then all that i would have to do would take a visit to my local British army recruiter, and they can help me walk through the process. i would assume that would be the same case for any countries military. there would be a few exceptions, such as the current army in north Korea, or the japan self defense force. (in japan compulsory military service is the norm. usually it is only open to people that have either become citizens of japan, or people that were born in japan)

I think that the Russians would not trust you and regard you as a spy.
