CNN’s take - “American killed fighting alongside Ukrainian forces in Ukraine”.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/28/politics/american-killed-ukraine/index.html
Sounds like some young, perhaps foolish guy doing what he thought was right. Except for this part…
The 22-year-old was working with a private military contracting company when he was killed on Monday. The company had sent him to Ukraine, and he was being paid while he was fighting there
on Friday, his uncle said the family did not know the name of the company and had not been contacted by any contractor after his death.
So really the correct headline would be
“US is sending marines to kill Russians in Ukraine under the guise of hiring them as mercenaries for a private, government-paid contractor”
Constellis is what Blackwater is calling themselves these days. And you wonder why the Russian diplomats are saying stuff like “world war 3 has already started when the US sent their own military men and hardware to attack us”. I’m sure they don’t care about whatever formalities Biden is using to avoid getting a declaration of war.
