So when do the mercenaries start showing up?

Russian and American*? I think this conflict is going be to drawing in a lot of NGO type mercs who love the money, the danger, and killing other mercs/soldiers.

* US mercs, but plenty more from the EU, Australia, SA, and pretty much all around the world. Most, but not all, will fight for Ukraine, IMHO.

Q dropped a “crumb” that the “king” in Burger King was a reference to trumputin. Place an order for the “#1 Combo with tots” and you will be led to the staging area in the basement.

Prince, Bannon, and Greenwald have been catapulting the proPutin propaganda for a while now, but, of course, Prince is in the war-profiteer bizness end as well.

I think Prince was working with Manafort during his efforts to deliver Ukraine to Putin.

him into Ukraine as a mercenary army. That way he could have helped Putin. There is a lot of Ukraine men signing up right now and I would hope some others would sign up for Ukraine army as well.

When these scumbags feel secure and have a free run to terrorize, bully and kill civilians.

A fairer fight vs, a civilian population trying to defend themselves.
