Ukraine launched a website Saturday where foreigners can apply directly if they want to go to Ukraine and fight against Russian invaders.

President Volodymyr Zelensky says the country received thousands of applications since he put out the call for a new self-styled International Legion on Feb. 27 — and he’s expecting more than 16,000 foreign volunteers to join the cause.

In many ways, Ukraine’s International Legion harkens back to the International Brigades, the storied volunteer formations fighting for the Republican Government during the Spanish Civil War in 1936-1938, the Kyiv Independent reported Saturday.

They want to send people over there to die so they won’t have to fight them here in the USA that maybe God’s Honest Truth in the end.

Good grief. What a joke. How about signing up to protect our border?? This is a wag the dog by Biden to distract from the terrible inflation also caused by allowing hundreds of thousand of illegals come in that taxpayers have to pay for.

Send rifles! Die for us! Stinking elites were occupied with drugs and sex rather than leading their nation responsibly.

I Have an acquaintance with lots of experience as a merc looking at jobs there. The one he found in Ukraine pays $200/day. In Poland in a medical position it pays $1,000/day.

If he’s a combat medic he should try talking to the Kurds. Not sure of their pay.

Posted the other day.

I can hear it now from the Russians.

NATO has sent undercover military into the Ukraine. This an act of all out war and we will act accordingly.

For all of those going over. Good luck, and dont get caught by the Chechen fighters there.

Mass media dupes are on the way—think of it as evolution in action.

How about signing up to protect our border??

https://www.usatoday.com/border-wall/story/vigilante-militia-patrol-us-mexico-border/559753001/

Sure, why not? How about posting immigration stuff on immigration threads rather than using them as red herrings?

You don’t earn much money by being a border guard. If you are a seasoned veteran serving for years in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, being paid hefty money to fight in Ukraine may not be a bad option. There are always guys willing to take a big risk to make big bucks.
