    Unleash the monsters the US military has created that can’t exist outside of warfare. Let them make bank risking death thriving in the only life they have adapted to thanks to the war on terror.

    I want a free and unthreatened Ukraine, as what I desire for all people of any nation. I want professional solderers to be able to function happily without war.

    Ukraine is not free and there are people who only have only learned to function in war, allowing functioning broken men only to be comfortable in the intermittent terror of war is not good, but acceptable when war is an uncomfortable truth of our reality.

    I want peace.

    I don’t want men to find comfort in war.

    The reality of the human condition is to find comfort no matter how hard the circumstance.

    I hope PMCs will provide a future free of war and the personal terrors that war creates with a voluntary sacrifice nobody should have, but I know that is an Eden that is fanciful.

    Fuck war and fuck anybody who makes or instigates it.

      Are you for real? The same PMCs who instigate wars like this one to make bank?

          The US coup where Victoria Nuland is recorded plotting to install the far right government that ended up being installed over the more moderate protest leaders triggered it.

            The guy that got “installed” was the leader of the opposition in the parliament, had the backing of a clear majority of the parliament, and had been supportive of the protests. It would be weirder for the Americans to support anyone else

    This is just to start training and organizing the guerilla cells that will be left behind for the protracted conflict.
