Because of course theyre doing this.
RT: The US has been actively recruiting terrorists to fight in Ukraine, Russias Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) claimed on Tuesday, saying that it illustrates Washingtons readiness to use any means to achieve its geopolitical goals.
The SVR revealed in a statement that, according to the intelligence it is receiving, the United States is actively recruiting even members of international terrorist organizations, including the Islamic State (ISIS) group banned in the Russian Federation, as mercenaries to participate in hostilities in Ukraine.
The Russian intelligence service points to the American military base in Syria called al-Tanf, which is located close to the borders with Jordan and Iraq. According to its sources, this base and the surrounding area have turned into a kind of terrorist hub, where up to 500 ISIS and other jihadists can be retrained simultaneously. SVR claimed that last month 60 ISIS militants, who had been released from prisons controlled by the Syrian Kurds, were transferred to al-Tanf with a view to subsequent transfer to Ukrainian territory.
The SVR specified that during a training course at al-Tanf the militants are instructed on how to use anti-tank missile systems, reconnaissance and strike drones, advanced communications and surveillance equipment.
In the SVRs opinion, this data confirms that the United States is ready to use any means to achieve its geopolitical goals, not excluding sponsoring international terrorist groups.
The intelligence service concluded by saying that the American administration does not consider the consequences of such actions, even when it comes to threats to the security of European allies and even to the lives of the Americans.
Washington has insisted that there are no US soldiers in Ukraine.
Do they even insist that?
I thought they admitted that there were all sorts of advisors in the country?
They certainly admitted that before the conflict started!
Also, there are definitely PMCs in the country and apparently the Marines are giving some kind of special discharge so troops can go work for these PMCs in the Ukraine with a serious pay raise!
Saying its a private army so it doesnt follow the laws of war is literally the same thing as a private company doesnt have to respect the First Amendment.
