Critical support to Biden in his effort to turn western mercenaries into mush
Do y'all remember what happened when US vets fought in Ukraine? These goons are toast against a real military.

I have bits and pieces of news (ironically) but I don't have a whole picture of their fate.
Broadly speaking, many of them went in with the tacit assumption that the propaganda was all true (Russians 'astounded' by paved roads, constantly deserting, poorly equipped, etc), then when they actually started fighting they realized
A. That was horseshit (obviously) and
B. What happens when they're on the side that doesn't have air and armor superiority
There was a big post back when it started by some 
American pmc clown that posted about how his 'barracks' got bombed and how a ton of them were dead
I remember the chud barracks incident, but it's hard to dig up actual links from so long ago. search being slopping piles of manure doesn't help.
I think this is the guy, although the account is long deleted. ~~he had Medic or something in his username~~ He was going by u/spindokto and made a few posts over the Reddit Brigade saga
https://old.reddit.com/r/volunteersForUkraine/comments/tdmxqs/proof_for_everyone_in_denial/
(new and improved link; you lose all the dumbass reddit comments, but you can look at the pics he posted and his profile using waybackmachine link)
This was the 3rd or 4th post IIRC, directly after the Foreign Legion barracks got Iskander'd (or was it Kinzhal'd? I don't remember) and he was telling people to stay the fuck away because these weren't "a bunch of insurgents with AKs and Toyotas"
E) and for future reference, sometimes it's easier to search here for reddit posts as they get submitted to dunktank or whatever. That's how I got here, searching Hexbear comments for "Reddit Brigade" to find relevant thread, then look for reddit links in those threads.
E2) IIRC the next parts of his saga were admitting on reddit he and some other guys were going to disguise themselves as red cross to sneak out of the country. I don't think anyone here ever really kept tabs on them after that. Haven't been able to track down newer posts so far but I'm also losing interest so 
)
The reddit volunteers that got blown up were just random idiots with no experience I believe. Whereas the ex military and mercenaries who realized they were too weak were smart enough to go back home to their comfortable lives after the first bomb dropped
A real Reddit post from 2022
I want to fight for Ukraine. I have no military background and some live firearm experience. I do have over 100 hours of airsoft milsim experience though. It’s the closest thing to actual war. I’m familiar with military lingo and protocols (not sure if applicable cause I’m fighting for a foreign country). Knowledge on how to operate a variety of weaponry. I use high-end airsoft guns which are 1:1 or almost identical to the real thing. I did many roles in the milsim from combat medic to Forward observers and operated in a two-man sniper team.
I have my own gear (cammies, plate-carrier, plates, medkit, supplies). I have money for the trip and money for basic necessities. I will not leech off the UAF I will have my own stuff except a gun and ammunition.
I know basic Russian words, but will still need assistance or translation for any complex movements or tactical battle plans.
Its so funny that some angloid (i presume) thinks his rudimentary Russian skills will be useful to a bunch of people who have intermingled with Russia for centuries.

This is basically how Taiwan is training their civilian militias lol. The term “reddit island” now makes more sense

No air superiority and fighting a peer adversary makes being a mercenary less like a video game and more like WW1 trench fighting.
The stories from those that made it back were really hilarious. They were absolutely shocked to find out that fighting a professional army is nothing like hunting civilians in Afghanistan.
In the wise words of Joe Biden: "Joe Biden is a rabid dog, he should be beaten to death with a stick"
Critical support for Joe in his struggle against Joe
Quick someone inform Kristi Noem that Biden is a dog
Joe Biden is a rabid dog
I wish all mercenaries a very 
Infinite Wagners on the FOG world
Lmao I love the fact we got pop team epic emojis now
My friend, we have a 
emoji
Why do we have a Guns Akimbo emoji when I am 99% sure I made that movie during a drug fueled rampage?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2004_Fallujah_ambush&diffonly=true
The four armed contractors, Scott Helvenston, Jerry Zovko, Wesley Batalona, and Mike Teague, were killed and dragged from their vehicles. Their bodies were beaten and burned, with their charred corpses then dragged through the city streets before being hanged over a bridge crossing the Euphrates River.
The ambush led to the First Battle of Fallujah, a U.S.-led operation to retake control of the city. However, the battle was halted mid-way for political reasons, an outcome which commentators have described as insurgent victory.
"W-we would've won if we weren't stabbed in the back! They didn't win, that's the lying fake news media!"

"Desecration of corpses..." 
i wish those contractors a very geotagged social media post
No way there isn't already US mercy there. I assume this means they're looking at starting a massive slushfund for much larger numbers.
Exactly! That is who most of the so-called "volunteers" actually are. And there are certain US-supplied weapons systems that Ukrainian conscripts have zero ability to operate in the first place (like Patriots and probably even HIMARS launchers). So when Russian forces blow them up (which they do), we can be fairly certain that US (or other NATO) "contractors" are getting killed (which they are).

Of course there is, this is just a way to pay for them without any middle men
And potentially offer mercs with larger, more advanced hardware that couldnt remain under the radar. Academi has been building a private airforce for example.

that's my reading as well
If news like these come out its because everything is already settled. Fuck the imperialists
war is a racket, after all.
Good thing ~~Blackwater~~ ~~Xe~~ Academi are just military contractors. Imagine if we deployed mercenaries like Wagner.

Biden was the accelerationist candidate all along.
Oh boy expect a human trafficking story to come out of Ukraine in a few years.
Ukraine has been bad like that for a while, hasn't it?
yes, before the invasion ukraine was the human trafficking capitol of europe and there is a nice big un report on it somewhere if you google around
