America used mercenaries from around the world hired under the auspices of the Blackwater group. Russia is doing the same using the Wagner group. Most casualties in modern warfare come from accurate artillery strikes. The Ukrainians are deploying superior Western artillery systems, surveillance systems and are creating havoc for the Russians who’s commanders are still mired in WW II tactics. Putin has created a disaster for the Russian people and the Russian nation. China has duly noted just how weak and inept is the conventional Russian military. It still covets Russia’s underpopulated rich Asian Pacific territories and Siberia.
Wagner Group is nothing like the security group Blackwater.
Wagner is an actual army fighting a war with Russian war equipment, leading the army into war and flying jets and using tanks, conquering cities.
Comparing BlackWater with Wagner is perhaps the dumbest comparison I’ve seen from the Putin bois in a while.
BlackWater did not empty US prisons for their staff.
