1. Potentially in response to the deployment of NK engineering squads to Ukraine soon?

2. NK awaking the sleeping giant

3. [removed]

4. I mean if Russia can have Wagner there…

5. >The Biden administration is moving toward lifting a de facto ban on American military contractors deploying to Ukraine, four US officials familiar with the matter told CNN, to help the country’s military maintain and repair US-provided weapons systems.

   non-combat contracts

6. *Triple Canopy slowly getting a hard on*

7. _Russia will see this as an escalation._

8. Oh Putin… bringing in NK was a bad idea. You think the US military had crazy shit? Wait until you invite the contractors.

9. This is how Taco bell ended up winning the franchise wars.

10. ‘Blackwater bristling with weapons, visibly shaking in background’

11. Time to get paid 😀

12. Now we’re talking!

13. If Russia gets to flood in African mercenaries and now potentially North Korean regulars, why should the collective west keep holding back?  This nebulous fear of “Russian escalation” is playing straight into the Kremlin’s hands.

14. Yay! We invaded another country! Recession soon.

15. Academi would switch sides and help Russia.

16. Good deal!

17. Just send in nato, leave the patches at home and say “oh look at all the ethnic westerners who had immigrated to Ukraine and are standing up for their country.” they even built them selves some f-35s. Aspirational. I’m sure we can even provide documents and maps form the 1600s that they really were there the whole time. /s

18. This is what we call escalation

19. Step 1: declare US airforce a PMC idk something like “wings of freedom inc.”

    Step 2: give airforce budget to ukraine to spend on PMC.

    Step 3: ????

    Step 4: teach the Russians what the term AIR DOMINANCE means.

20. Putin has done fucked up now. Those poor Russian and North Korean troops would be safer if NATO was there. With contractors in country, there will be no surrendering.

21. Business about to pick up

22. Russia needs mass reinforcements from unskilled cannon fodder from NK. Ukraine gets US backup using less than 1% of the their true power

23. Time for Blackwater, I mean Xi, I mean whatever they are calling themselves these days.

24. And today you will hear that redditors have always loved PMCs…

25. We are our worst enemy

26. I love the comments “oh you just wait until the US gets involved, you’ll be sorry, durrrrr duhhhh”

27. Who had Blackwater vs. North Korea on their 2024 bingo card

28. Stepping one escalation at a time towards WW3 / end of the world.

    Awesome. Totally worth it .

29. From an academic perspective, I’m so curious to read the OLC memos on whether this move violates 18 USC 960, Section 5.

30. Pfffft! Like they are not there already. But now they are there legally.

31. The “contractors” Ukraine will hiring from:

    – Security Enterprise And Logistics
    – Jolly Security Options Company
    – Counter Insurgency Associates

32. Yay! The MIC keeps winning
