I agree that one thread like the Live Egypt ones would be best. Maybe not too late to start one. I am just clicking on to FR now, has this been posted?

400 U.S. mercenaries to fight in eastern Ukraine against the separatists.
The reported “Bild am Sonntag” and refers to intelligence information .
The fighters come therefore from military service Academi , formerly
known as Blackwater .

Berlin - It was a clearly worded denial . “ Irresponsible bloggers and
online reporters” have “ rumors” spread , according to which employees
of the company Academi in Ukraine are in use . This is false and nothing
more than a “ sensationalist attempt to create hysteria .” Thus spoke the
U.S. military service , formerly passes under the name Blackwater
infamous notoriety, on March 17 on its website.

The Russian state news agency “ Ria Novosti “ of course put on 7 April by:
Blackwater fighters acted in eastern Ukraine - and in the uniform of
Ukrainian special police “Sokol” . An independent confirmation of the fact
there was not.

That article has been resurrected from a few weeks ago....but there isn't enough confirmation to support it and was why it didn't get enough traction before. But I have no doubt our guys are there. or some we've placed there in Ukraine through other nations so it doesn't "look like" the US has it's people with guns in hands.

Some are questioning if these guys at Mariupol police station weren't Blackwater by how they conducted themselves. But Who's to know for the idea is to be unknown
