Sounds like they just renounce their U.S. citizenship.
Respect.
I hope Vindman is there fighting.
Spanish civil war redux in some ways.
Putin is shaking. 😆
Russia is counting on the high-priced oil to finance this incursion. Reinstating the Keystone Pipeline and freeing up federal oil leases is a start. Reverse all Executive orders that restrict US oil production (EO #3395). Why this idiot sent that order out and then talks about using the US oil reserves just proves how far around the bend this clown is.
Doing the above causes expectations to be such that the spot price of oil will drop and with it, the ability of Russia to finance this war.
“..British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said he didn’t ‘want to see British people killed any more than I want to see Ukrainians’ and asked people who were not properly trained or an ‘experienced member of an armed forced’ not to join the war in Ukraine.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine was ‘very dangerous’, he told Sky News, and there were ‘better ways’ to support the country...”
“better ways” - like what????
Not Smart.
Everything we do to oppose Russia sends a very strong message of deterrence to China at the same time.
Rainbow Six...
Mercenaries aren’t cheap. Is Ukraine going to pay them, or will the funds come from a NATO nation? It would seem the Ukrainians will have few resources for additional expenses.
Given the size discrepancy between the opposing forces, I'd call “Soldier of Fortune,” too.
5.56mm
darned
I wish they would secure our southern border instead
Remember the “Flying Tigers?”
” The Flying Tigers, officially known as the First American Volunteer Group, were American pilots who fought in the Chinese Air Force during World War II between 1941 and 1942. They are best known for popularizing the shark’s-mouth design frequently painted American military aircraft. In addition, their now-famous unit insignia of a winged Bengal tiger was designed by the Walt Disney Company.
The commanding officer of the Flying Tigers, Claire L. Chennault, was a retired captain from the Army Air Corps who was working in China as an advisor to the Chinese Air Force when the Second Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1937. The Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek quickly hired Chennault to lead the training of Chinese fighter pilots.
Chennault was able to resist Japanese attacks for two years with planes donated from the Soviet Union, but at last in 1939 Japanese forces overwhelmed Chinese defenses and destroyed most of the Chinese Air Force. In 1940 Chennault traveled to Washington, D.C. to buy aircraft and recruit pilots to fight for the Chinese. Realizing the potential dangers of China being defeated by the Japanese, President Roosevelt agreed to allow American pilots to resign from the military in order to go serve in the Chinese Air Force—at this point the United States had not officially entered the war against the Japanese and wanted to maintain an appearance of neutrality.
Lured by the promise of better pay, ninety-nine pilots and one hundred eighty four support troops sailed to Burma, where they arrived in the middle of the monsoon season and were forced assemble their own aircraft before beginning training. Imitating a British Royal Air Force design, the volunteers painted shark’s mouths on their aircraft to make them more threatening. This was not known to their supporters in Washington, who gave them the nickname the Flying Tigers in the spring of 1941....”
For those who are about to die we salute you.
Calling all mercenaries!
What is the French Foreign Legion up to these days?
Perhaps, as in the book “The Mouse that Roared,” which is hilarous, things will turn out right.
I must say that the “comedian” President is doing a great service to all of us, by being strong.
I hope he succeeds.
