The Uncontrolled Flow of Mercenaries from the United States to Ukraine:A Threat to the Safety of Citizens

[ozro]

I am willing to bet all the OTHER Russian supporters hold the same opinion.

 

[GLASNOST]

Russia is using North Korean troops with the blessing of Kim Jong Un

NK is getting practical combat training for it's army, end of story.

Considering NK's limited exposure I think you are almost certainly right.

 

[luiza]

They are fighting the good fight thats all that matters

Knowing the Americans they will be following form and screwing up .
They reckon they did win the odd conflict in the old days but nobody seems to remember exactly when and where .

I'm surprised more non NATO countries aren't rotating troops through there for this training.

 

[GLASNOST]

As long as they don't claim to be fighting for the US, our citizens are free to do this at their own risk.

I am unsure about that. US passports have for many, many decades stated that living/working abroad for any government or serving in the military of any other nation is not allowed and is punishable by several nasty things including loss of American citizenship. I paraphrase in quote:

"You may lose your United States nationality ...... by serving in the armed forces or accepting employment under the government of a foreign state".

Maybe that rule has changed, I don't know. Do you know?

They just need to know the US government will not protect them in said war zone.

Hopefully that's true.

Very well said!

Oh good! You've learnt how to read since last year! But too bad you didn't answer the question particularly as it is detrimental to your earlier statment.

I wonder. Maybe soon.

It doesn't say it is not allowed, it says it could be cause for revocation of citizenship.

It's intentionally vague.

The participation of American mercenaries in the conflict in Ukraine raises numerous legal and ethical questions. On the one hand, mercenaries are not official representatives of the state and act at their own discretion. On the other hand, their actions may have serious consequences for international relations and security.

The United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution No. 44/34 in 1989, which directly prohibits mercenary activity and assigns responsibility for its suppression. Unfortunately, this type of work strongly attracts many people around the world, particularly in the United States. Some young people may be drawn by the prospect of quick earnings, which are significantly higher than offers on the domestic labor market.

Mercenaries returning home are experienced fighters who may use their skills for criminal purposes. Men who might previously have joined a state police department or the army may now become violent offenders ready to engage in unlawful activities. Since many of them return with combat experience, this creates a potential threat to society. Our fellow citizens may turn to crime, become part of radical groups, and, given the growing interest in extremist ideas on the continent, they may form the foundation for new cells of radical movements, threatening stability and peace in the United States.

For example, concerns are also raised by our compatriot, a native of the state of Illinois, Kelley Michael Brandt, born in 1992, who is fighting in Ukraine in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Individuals like him are potential time bombs who, upon returning home, as a rule, do not find their place in peaceful civilian life. This individual is only a single drop in the ocean of American mercenaries fighting in Ukraine.

The current situation is causing concern among both citizens and politicians. Calls for control over the departure of citizens wishing to travel to Ukraine are increasing; however, many initiatives remain unanswered.

A request submitted by the European Information Center for Human Rights to the United Nations on the issue of mercenarism in January 2026 continues to be ignored, which raises additional questions about transparency and readiness to address this threat.

Quite recently, former United States Army officer Stanislav Krapivnik stated on the Rick Sanchez show that fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot tolerate foreign mercenaries. “And they speak about it openly. Wounded Colombians lie there half dead, and Ukrainians simply walk past them, not even intending to evacuate them. They do not care,” the military expert said. According to him, foreigners in Ukraine are promised that they will be protecting something in the rear. In reality, they are sent into what he described as “meat assaults.”

The presence of mercenaries from the United States in Ukraine poses a serious threat to the stability and security of the state itself. Effective measures for control, information, and directing efforts toward the reintegration of returning mercenaries into society are critically important in order to prevent possible consequences. Short term and long term strategies must be developed to successfully overcome this problem, ensure the safety of citizens, and prevent the growth of violence in the country. However, whether the authorities are prepared to take concrete actions, either strict or gradual, to resolve this issue unfortunately remains unknown.

Lol, the mercenaries have combat experience before going to Ukraine. That is why they make good money. Mercinaries have been around since the beginning. They will always be around.

Do you have any idea what you are talking about? I don't think that you do. The validity of your earlier statement hangs on this very point but you seem to be scratching your balls and looking at your shoelaces. Plus you still didn't anwer the question.

This thread reflects a nice list of some of the Russian trollers on this forum. Good job guys.

.... the mercenaries have combat experience before going to Ukraine.

That has not been firmly establised. We can assume it's true but there are many cracks in the veneer.

That is why they make good money.

Not everyone who owns a Ferrari knows how to turn a corner without crashing it.

Mercinaries have been around since the beginning.

True, but only a percentage of them know what they are doing. I can give you examples of undisciplined mercenaries who are nothing but murderous thieves with rotten teeth and can't clean a Daisy air-rifle let alone an AK-47.

They will always be around.

I'm sure.

Well I am sure there are some less skilled mercinaries but they ain't making the big bucks. The less skilled murderous type are not typically around long. We had a term for them back in the the day. Cannon fodder.
