No additional details on the deceased Americans were available as of Wednesday afternoon.

Military bloggers supporting Russia claimed on Wednesday in mocking tones that a US “mercenary” had recently been killed in the battle for the city of Bakhmut.

Mercenaries have been used since the beginning of time.

If the price is right of course.

Likely some 20 year olds who had ‘retired’ from the military a week before going to Bakhmut, and had planned to re-enlist a week after returning from Bakhmut.

We’ve been told that there are no U.S. soldiers in Ukraine, and we know the Biden kakistocrats wouldn’t lie to us.

Did you notice the word mercenary looked like this “mercenary”? I am sure they are only telling us about this because they were actually US troops appearing to be “mercenaries”.

We’ve been told that there are no U.S. soldiers in Ukraine, and we know the Biden kakistocrats wouldn’t lie to us.

We were also told on another thread that there are only 14 U.S. soldiers in Ukraine, and they're guarding the embassy.

There are at least 24 US special forces in Ukraine according to Steve Bannon this afternoon. We are being lied to.
