Trump in talks to deploy private army to Ukraine

[rto]

American private military firms could be deployed to Ukraine as part of a long-term peace plan.

Donald Trump is in talks with European allies about allowing armed contractors to help build fortifications to protect American interests in the country.

The plan is being devised as a workaround after the US president promised that American troops would not be stationed in Ukraine.

US contractors could be deployed to help rebuild Ukraine’s front-line defences, new bases and protect US businesses.

The presence of private soldiers would act as a deterrent to discourage Vladimir Putin from breaking an eventual ceasefire.

Sounds like a cluster fuck in the making.

NOT ONLY NO BUT F'N NO! Another here hold my bear, what could go wrong moment.

[ColonelKorn]

Hell to the damned NO!!!

[Johnny]

My gut reaction is "no", but the devil is in the details. I'll give President Trump the benefit of the doubt on this one. Wait and see.

Follow the money. Rare earth minerals military equipment $$$$$$$$$. Didn't they call Ukraine the bread basket of Europe? The U.S. Europe and every stinking country in the news rushing to end the war and save lives? Anyone believes that I have a bridge to sell yah in N.Y.. Their all including us are jockeying for position to get at Ukraine's resources.
Remember when PT said to Zelensky he would work out a peace deal if Z gave us their rare minerals? Zelensky said no. Russia is very hurting financially that's why the hell they went in their in the first place to get Ukraine's riches. Not to reclaim ancient lands of theirs and save the Russians living in the Ukraine.
Now all of a sudden Europe wants to help. Sure they do they smell the money to be made. Zelensky has a choice stop his citizens dying and give up his natural resources or don't and their all gonna die. Follow the money $$$$$

Not our circus, not our clowns. Stay the hell out of there. It may be called a private army, but you can bet they would be paid by the US tax dollars.

Exactly, we always pay.

I hope this is an off handed threat

to get Putin to back down…

Remember....Uncle Sam, back when....issued "Letters of Marque" Or a US License to be a privateer on the high seas. PMCs are very similar.
PMCs pay pretty well and it's not like sending a bunch of real young American boys and girls in harms way. PMCs don't hire greenhorns. In any case....who said it had to be an American PMC?

[Solid Snake]

As long as its a bunch of guys wanting to go over there for the paycheck, that's fine. Better than sending our military over to fight someone else's war.

The shit show deepens

[Bluntforce]

It’s the story of guy named Rurik
Who was hanging with some very Slavvy guys

Then along came a horde of Mongols
Who were on the rise

Thirteen hundred years of drunk and stupid shit later
And they’re the Fucked Up Bunch

The Fucked Up Bunch
The Fucked Up Bunch
They have been and will always be
The Fucked Up Bunch

And like any other pile of shit, once stepped in should be scraped off and forgotten.

There is only one way to stop the red machine.

There is only one way to stop the red machine.

Yep. "Track 'em, whack 'em and stack 'em."

Trump is not stupid and this is not the whole story or strategy. Russians are not super men and they are not invincible. They also had a bad track record of f-ing around with Trump during his first term and paying dearly for it. Remember the pasting our military gave Wagner? Remember the endless talk of nuke war with Putin over Syria that did not happen? Remember when Turkey shot down a Russian fighter and Putin did nothing? Stop falling for the hyperventilating pasty white rat toothed agitprop.
