Fantastic news. Well done Biden admin.
Let’s do it President Biden!
The US is so slow to give consent that it is making the situation worse. Had the world reacted like in 1990 to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, this would all have been over and 500,000 men’s lives would have been spared.
More empty threats coming soon from a Russian hand puppet — unless the head lunatic himself what’s to do it.
Do they have to slow walk everything, it like they are asking the Kremlin first.
Hopefully, some fighter pilots can be hired.
Accuse someone of cheating often enough, odds are theyre gonna start cheating.
Same rules for mercenaries in geopolitics.
Escape from Tarkov incoming
How are these currently prohibited from doing that? Aren’t they ‘just’ private citizens that happen to do some work in another country?
Or are they prohibited under some mercenary clause? But what about the current volunteers who get paid by the Ukranian army?
What’s legally speaking different about these?
This seems like a potentially game-changing advancement: once those contractors smell $$, the flood gates will open on support. And it definitely smells pretty green out on the front lines right now!
