"Out Of My Face Please" - Why Are US Soldiers In Mariupol?
Amid the devastation of yesterday's Mariupol artillery strikes which killed or wounded dozens, which was promptly blamed by both sides on the "adversary" - and has been proclaimed by both 'sides' (more on that later) as more violent than before the truce - an 'odd' clip has emerged that appears to provide all the 'proof' a US intelligence officer would need to surmise that US military boots are on the ground in Ukraine. As the following clip shows, a Ukrainian journalist approaches what she thinks is a Ukrainian soldier (since he is wearing a Ukrainian military uniform and is carrying an AK) and asked him as they run through the battlezone, "tell me, what happened here?" His response, which requires no translation, speaks for itself.
Forward to 2:36 for the 'Ukrainian' soldier's response:
Here is a clip which focuses just on the exchange in question:
With daily reportage of the 'invasion' of Russian military forces into Ukraine territory (admittedly unconfirmed by NATO), this clip raises many questions about American involvement in the ongoing conflict - most of all, was the US involved in the "staging" the Mariupol massacre, and if so it is clear who should be blamed (and isolated).
Of course, US troops, or at least mercs, on the ground, should not be a total surprise, since just 2 months ago, we discussed the hacked US documents that revealed the extent of undisclosed US "lethal aid" being given to the Ukraine army. What was apparently left unleaked was the part of the US aid also includes US-speaking soldiers. The only question is whether US taxpayers are paying their wages.

Oh there're a very definite American accent with native speaker fluency. That you can't hear it tells me it may be from somewhere near where you live.
Really? Ucranian who speeks english,iin a very stressed situation asked on his native thongue what happend....he responds in english sounds logic to you? I mean I read almost all comments and on this site you can really read brilliant comments and learn a lot. Not from yours.
Idiot! It's not like he said a few random words he might have learnt in English. He made a statement appropriate to a situation he was in in perfect (somewhere in North America) English.
Sure, now how many of them of a fucking brooklin accent? FAIL.
As usual, even tho we now live in the year 2015 with 4k recording cellphones all we get is a 480p video with framrate from hell. Convieniently the framrate drops to nada around the time the soldiers faces could have been exposed.
Even a 13 year old pornmongler could have cut in that voice and put it on youtube.
Not that it matters and not that Im saying the yanks aint there, but this video is more a proof that they are not there than that they actually would be there..
I wish they where there, but they are not... unfortunatley.
You want WWIII? You are insane. You want Americans to spill their blood for a cause that should not be theirs? Pick up a rifle and do it yourself.
Go to the front with your Ukraine neo-Nazi mates yourself then, or stop being a typical chicken hawk and stfu!! https://twitter.com/Steiner1776
Fascist sucker!
second one clip - another US soldier in Mariupol Ukraine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-ts=1421914688&feature=player_embedded&...
THAT is an Auzzie.
Wrong. You've been living in Germany too long. It's a New York; Jersey, North-east corridor accent. "well spoken"--not a grunt; an operator.
Could be. I just could imagine that guy says "Crikie, she's a big one" next.
I listened a few times to this other clip of the guys inspecting the mortar hole and I'm very disappointed to say that this fella could well be an Aussie.
Not definitely...but maybe. Possibly British too...but most probably an Aussie.
What a strange feeling to consider a fellow national involved in all this shit. The realisation really tugs on your loyalties and perceptions.
Now I can understand why the propaganda machine plays on peoples' national pride to exploit their fierce defensiveness of what they hold dear.
But this doesn't change the dirty truth of these sordid affairs.
There's filthy scumbags in every nationality. Evil does not discriminate.
From an Aussie .... Rubbish!!!
Let me guess, again somehow they just could not film him speaking.. no lip synchronization - means Putin regime propaganda team could play what ever sound and say it was done by this soldier/actor [we don't know who he is].
What? Russians don't do propoganda at all. I am sure the regime would never stoop to false flags either. The goverment there is so noble and honest and very much believe in the freedoms of the press.
Definitely British, my guess is Scottish.
Definitely British, my guess is Scottish.
Definitely British, my guess is Scottish.
South African mercenaries, too. As suggested, hired help is in the neighborhood. Let's not imagine that the other guys, with access to far deeper resources, were unaware and also that they are deploying apt countermeasures.....
... and, well, he did say please.
Could be a u.s government paid merc. One can easily tell the individual had a U.S,,, verse a British accent which really doesn't mean much. The idiot should have kept his mouth shut. Duh! On the other hand it could have been a well setup propaganda piece. I have no doubts u.s is fully engaged in Ukraine but this video is questionable as proof. Apparently the correspondent knew English as she complied.
Scuttlebut (through various Survival Blogs) have mentioned foreign Russian troops being capable of speaking perfect English, for the purposes of being used to quell civil disturbance via violent means if necessary. Which could explain why no one can pin point their actual accent.
So maybe better for them to speak English rather than their native Russian to throw the reporters and world opinion off.
JUst sayin'.
that was not a Russian
body language
Absolutely correct.
And there is the fact that he did his best to walk away really fast.
Wish I knew what they were all saying. Anyone???
I assume that "
Why Are US Soldiers In Mariupol?" Is a rethorical question!She tell him "Stop,Stop. Can you tell me - what is it"
Seems strange that an American/Brit soldier would be walking around alone--very strange. So easy to over-dub, especially as you cannot see lip movement.
*Yawn*
Proves nada. (Ok, that proves that I'm Russian,eh?)
Yeah... this is fake and gay as that Putin robot on ATV with remote control :D
Still trying to sleep with the enemy, freedom123?
Try flowers or a box of Poroshenko chocolates.
If Poroshenko is quick off the start, he can flood the media before breakfast time tomorrow with at least two more categoric assertions that "Russia has invaded Ukraine". !!!
Get to it Porko.
That ought to distract attention away from US soldiers being on the ground there.
US soldier?
How does ZH know that one is a US soldier? Or maybe Ron Paul knows cause he loves dictators.
putin, with all his macho man antics, was just asking to get his ass kicked ... if anyone thinks oil price have anything to do with supply/demand just has to look at obama running to saudi for funeral, the same saudi who supposedly declared war on us oil industry, saudi that bank-rolls isis and al-queda, one of the most corrupt regoimes in the world, etc etc ...
Are you a real person?
Seriously, if you are the "Putin is a Demon" club -- go get off on Fox News' comments sections.
Good question for him, many of the trolls are just bots.
Whatever the intent, the unintended consequences(for the west) far outweigh any
gain.
The move was so obvious, that I personally think that thats exactly what Putin wanted.
In the next couple of months will find out if the US shot itself in the head, rather than just both
feet.
Winston, Good comment, as always. As I posted above, I am New York City born and raised. This guy talks/sounds just like most of my relatives/friends. Surrounding areas have sinilar accents.
As a side note, and in sync with an important metric re the significance of "stuff", the astounding number and frequency of blatant mis-direction in the comments in this thread leads me to believe this clip's release is deemed bokoo fuckup time for the trollsters' backers.
seems some ne watered down
direct out of operative central
proves how incompetent the Kiev is

Here's a refresher from a traitor turned patriot on the topic of "Money & Banking" 101
David Stockman: Woodrow Wilson's War & Why The Entire 20th Century Was A MistakeThe funny thing about people saying this is fake is that I'm 99% sure (without being arsed to check again) it came from a Ukrainian broadcast initially (uncut and untreated).
your 99% certainty is impressive, were you the camera man?
Because they are whores for worthless paper money that just happen to be fucking psychopaths, just livin for That American Dream?!!!....
You people love your sound bytes...off the cliff lemmings.
Oh, look over here!
Canuck here, thought he might be one of ours, but he sounds S.A. to me... As to why I thought he might be Canadian, this from google: "This country is home to more than 1.2 million Ukrainian-Canadians, the world's third-largest Ukrainian population behind Ukraine and Russia. The community, built over four waves of immigration dating back at least to 1891, began on the prairies, but more recently has extended into Ontario and Quebec." Feb 1, 2014

You nailed it bb.
Agreed. But I am inclined to say Nova Scotia.
It's exactly because you're Canadian that he sounds SA to you. I'm an American; It's a North-East corridor accent. educated. "well spoken" as our british cousins say. I've lived in Canada and England, and got interested in English Accents from my experience in England, and with my British girl friend, who had a Public School accent and taught me the great British game of identifying your region and social class by your accent.
Lol, you still at your stupid ass-fucking lies, roflmao
Here is a list of recognized US accents and "NE Corridor" is not among them you fucking lying sack of shyte

Not really the point.
The dumb shit exposed himself by opening his pie hole and probably wishes he had been in a business suit instead of Ukrainian Army camo with NATO/U.S. accoutrements hanging off of him that made him a "mark"!
Yes we fucked up once again in grand fashion because that's what we are exceedinngly good at thee days!
Need we say more!
Amatuer hour at the Lomax!!!!
Just an FYI to all those that parrot A.J. on Infowars from "J"enesis radio and the dumb fuck rednecks that couldn't identify a Russian from a Ukie speaking if they tried!...
These are the same "Russian speaking" Ukrainians that have been actively involved in exercises in CONUS since the 90's getting ready to blame the next malignant false flag on the Russians when the time is right...
Think we're almost there too!
I have family that came to the US from Ukraine in the early 1900s. I'm not sure wtf such long-ago immigration would have to do with this guy. Think about it - you cited numbers of 1.2 million ukrainian-canadians. FFS 1 mill of those are just simply Canadians, not "Ukenadians" who might be running off to fight in Mariupul.
Not sure who he is, but DoD types have been many places where we "shouldn't be". if he is an American, it won't be the first or last time.
Ya, we really need to rename it "Department of Aggression".
I posted this 48 hours ago on RT and got bagged for it. Since then has been verified by multiple sources & sound tracked.
Authenticated by pro's & military costume standard of CIA opp's in vid.
THE USA IS IN COMMAND OF KIEV FORCES >>> DUH!
But u all knew that. Soooooooooooooooo WTF?
Of course Americans are calling the shots. That's why the Uki army is failing so badly
America doesnt know how to fight an army that shoots back
Only way is Us carpet bombing from the AIr Force
Good luck wit that Chocula
Ultimately it is not the DC US ("Americans") that are "calling the shots." They are following orders.
Their orders are coming from those that also provided the "cookies"--The Amongst.
The banksters need to repay us.
All correct. I've been waiting for just this kind of inccident; because there are no perfect operations, and I knew they were there.
"US soldier" .. and how are we positive of this or is that something you don't ask on ZH. Now Blackwater merc is more like it but with Russian troops in the Ukraine the propaganda has to even it out.
How dare you be critical! Play along or take your toys and go play somewhere else.
I swear the guy really said, "I love Putin and I like shooting things up." Right?
How about American wherre he doesn't belong; will that satisfy you.? there hasn't been any distinction between US forces and Blackwater and other contract killers for many years now.
There is a distinction? In the amount of pay or in who is giving the orders?
you live in your moms basement and jack off to tranny porn, most likely, you little whore.
we artillery-ed some folks.
Wait till the russkis catch one of these spooks and put him on camera for the world to see.
Gonna be a run on Depends adult diapers in DC

No time like the present either!
Why the Russians haven't been going all out with that "White Book" is beyond me? If they have pictures of dead NATO soldiers from the airport and elsewhere it's time to ante up 'Big Time'!
Lavrov should be parading that up and down the halls of the UN and Hague like "pussy riot" on steroids!
...not if you capture western mercs to trade for Russia mercs, everyone stays quiet.

If the Russians are engaging in that kind of bartering after what the U.S. and NATO did to it 13 months ago in Volgagrad, 11 months ago in Kiev and the fallout of the MH-17 coverup then they will be dealing with diminishing returns.
Wouldn't make sense at this stage to conceal anything especially after all the massacres that have taken place claiming more than 5,000 civilians and 800,000 refugess to Russia!
The Russian Federation knows what it's dealing with and they are well beyond the point of any compromise.
Lavrov needs to show the World what is in that comprehensive "White Book" including dead NATO regulars!
US soldier or mercenary it doesn't matter, Poroshenko calls to stick with the Minsk agrement a clearly indication that with all the help he's getting from US-NATO the anti-Nazi rebels are pounding Ukrainian army and his helpers.
Sounds like a US merc, probably former spec. ops., now with some private contracting agency. These guys can make north of $500 a day. Not bad when you can't find a job elsewhere. I'd love to know who is doing the funding.
American taxpayers are....for a change.

Or you could join the plumber's union and be warm and dry in a nice closed in building, without people shooting at you, and make $300 day?

Mercs will wear whatever uniform you want them to wear and they'll do anything you want. Their kill ratio is much much higher than regular forces. They have the latest toys. They have no allegiances to anyone. They are protected. And they don't give a crap what you know or think you know.

fuck the mercs .
C'mon..."Outta my face please!" is a common Ukrainian saying, you hear it all the time over there. In English.
You're not implying that this soldier is...NOT of Ukrainian origin, are you? That he might be from somewhere ELSE...somewhere that ISN'T Ukraine? Somewhere where folks might go around saying stuff like "Outta my face please!"?
Well, I understand that "Outta my face please!" is also a commonly-used Russian phrase, so maybe there ARE Russian soldiers in Ukraine after all...
And remember, "Go Patriots!" is also a common Ukrainian battle-cry, and does not imply any preference for a particular outcome to a football game being played in the US.
I do not think anyone is saying he is not a native English speaker. But there is NO EVIDENCE to support the headline that US soldiers are in Ukraine. That leap from the evidence presented is just WAY to far.
The headline is no different than the NY Times (1-24-15) having on their internet home page the headline "War in Ukraine Explodes with Hints of Russian Role." When you click on the article the title morphs into "War is Exploding Anew in Ukraine; Rebels Vow More." The change, IMO, is due to lack of evidence provided in article for Russia's involvement. The damage has been done however- how many read the title and moved on feeling the story told.
The article notes increasing evidence that both Russian troops and Russian equipment pouring into the region again and that "analysts have little doubt that their fortunes are tied to the level of support provided by Moscow." However analysts are not identified, no witnesses names regarding the Russian troops and equipment are provided.
The point that really raised my ire was when the article launched into "for long suffering residents of Donetsk who have lived with constant shelling, chronic electricity failures..." Don't get me wrong I feel for these people- it must be hell but where is this compassion from NY Times writers for the innocents trying to live through the conflicts that have arisen since the invasion of Iraq, the people of Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and all the other countries in the region. Not there. That wouldn't support the U.S. government's acts of terror.
Zero Hedge is to counter such out right propaganda by the NYTimes and others so don't get on your high horse about the titles here.
The down votes probably represent those that did not pick up on the sarcasm.

This is going to be the big one, huh.
wrong and wrong.
500 troops go to Romania in rotation. That is a relief cadre for already positioned forces.
400 go to Spain.
Shoddy reporting contributes to false ideas on both sides.
That story Head is very misleading.
Well I wondered where my Boston neighbor went.
All part of the great delusion.
Sounds Brit to me, plus the polite edge points that way.
Bravo to him anyway, killing people for money in a conflict that he has no real stake in once he fucks off home.
Wrong. Not Brit. Northeast corridor USA; native speaker; educated. when you don't know what you're talking about, could you please just shut the fuck up.
Well, I dont think anyone is surprised that the moribund porochenko regime relies heavily on mercenaries to keep a semblance of viability.
I dont think this person is a regular US soldier, as those are not seen outside of Kiev atm.
The merc in question seemed alone and was looking quite lost.
Personal advice to the would-be mercs reading this; Ukr is a bad place to soldier - its not the usual shooting dervishes with total air and artillery superiority, or looking at an oil installation in the desert.
As idiotic as it seems, the kiev bandits have squandered their air superiority last year and are in process of loosing their artillery dominance.
It wont be pretty for the western troops when the house of bandera finally falls.
Losers love losers. Chocula lost 30k soldiers this summer in cauldrons. He has lost a 1000 more this week
Taking advice from an army that cant defeat guys living in caves and fighting in flip flops. We have been losing that war for 13+ years
Obama's toughs inYemen just got their asses whupped
Loserville.
No secret that Westerners who are of Ukrainian heritage are in Ukraine fighting, including Americans. Some are fighting for the CIA backed, State Department orchestrated Ukrainian pawns, others who are from or connected to the Russian speaking areas also have their boots on the ground to please master Putin:

Or this is a voice over and that man in fatigues said something totally different in a South African tone.
Or maybe just maybe the gov. has troops there and feels we dont need to know.
One hundred percent Northeast USA.
One of the Guardian's CIA spooks has written an article claiming the rebels took responsibility for the attack. Of course most people won't really read the article close enough to see that this is Walker's psyop reading.
"Ukraine crisis: dozens die as rebels shell Mariupol
Alexander Zakharchenko admits responsibility for attack speaking at memorial for those killed in bus attack in Donetsk"
This was the only part I saw that could be rendered as admission (and it shows the desperation of creating a False Flag):
"“Today an offensive was launched on Mariupol. This will be the best possible monument to all our dead,” said Alexander Zakharchenko, speaking at a memorial event for those killed in a mortar attack on a trolleybus stop in the rebels’ capital Donetsk on Thursday."
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/24/ukraine-crisis-dozens-die-r...
i was talking about this attack with a friend of mine who lives in Mariupol... he says that the shells came in from the east, hitting apartment blocks on that side.
Her followup question should have been "Whose gonna win the Superbowl?" Then he would have stopped dead in his tracks and yacked some more.
How interesting. He was asked a question in russian and could only respond in english. Also i doubt he understood question just said "outa my face". He talked fast however sounds like North East even upstate NY
This guy is from London for sure. SAS I would think. David Cameron will have some explaining to do.

WTF? +2
A good joke is always worth repeating and repeating and repeating.
No discernible patch or other uniform ID.
The soldier's accent did seem American to me, but we heard too little.
However, we also have:
US Weapons cache found at Donetsk airport, I am sure many of you have seen the video.
Attack on Bus riders in Mariupol or Donetsk area was confirmed by OSCE to have been Ukr.
No smoking gun, but the circumstantial evidence is piling up.
What is likely to happen is convert support of Ukr army fails. ZATO comes in.
Russia cannot absorb that. It would be like having Russian troops on the Mexican Border to me.
What do you do?
You match the covert aid and try to get the Minsk Agreement implemented then negotiate, so you can stave off ZATO deployment.
The key is to buy time. Let the Euros get colder with less Russian Fuel. Yeah, think about that, Hans.
Also, you need to turn Germany east.
The key here is Russian activity/foreign relations designed to put a wedge between the US/ZATO conglomerate and what's best for Europe.
The Europeans have a currency in deep trouble. They also have a Depression going on, if you jettison the Media hype. Their Future lies with a good relationship with the EEU.
Americans have little choice in the matter. They voted against Chalky with the huge Republican victory. But, the same congressional turnover places more knee-jerk reactionism by the 'republicans' into play. The US is stuck to one coin, voting obverse then reverse, but the coin remains the same.
Effing PLEASE. For starters you can't even put the rest of the video in context as it's in Ukrainian. Next, the camerman seems obsessed about the shrapnel everywhere. Finally, the reporter isn't even phased a the soldier's response.
Start esplainin that then we can jump on yet another conspiracy theory.
Sounded very American to me. In the heat of combat, he was probably so distracted he didn't think of protocols, and reverted to politely speaking to a lady.
Too bad there isn't more, like captured, beaten, and confessing on tape to being a US operative. I can't believe I'm saying that about my own country, but what the hell are we doing around this world? Can't we just live and let live?
Fascist Uki's/Nato shelling their own citizen blaming Donbass defense forces.

Yes only the US knows how to do a "false flag". The russians are way to noble and honest to pull such a down low trick.
Outta my face is a famous line from Casablanca movie/

Mariupol a remake of Casablanca with Oliver Stone behind the camera and Mickey "boxer" Rourke as Rick ?
Behind the Holywood movie lies the other reality:
The US admin is a dangerous ALLY for all and sundry. Its hegemonic doctrine makes mince meat of its allies time and time again.
Witness what happened to the South Nam junta, the Shah of Iran, Hosni Mubarak, Q-Daffy (after Blair handshake), Al-Maliki in Irak, The guy in Yemen....
The list goes on and on...Is Poroshenko the next fall guy of this serial movie; the reality behind 24 hours chrono or House of cards?
Yes! Brilliant performance [standing ovation] - finally, someone who gets it.
You must remember this.
American. No question. I'm a Brit and have no difficulty pinning down national english accents. Can't tell regional ones within nation but that, is an American.
He's wearing a baseball cap FFS. Oh and the gloves are a dead giveaway for US military service training.
Hard to say, he was too polite!
the politeness narrows it down to specific regions in the US
The politeness is only indicative of the fact that he is in the military. I wouldn't be surprised if he had called the journalist "ma'am" had the two had more time to speak.

Sorry, Brits military wear gloves, too. See here:http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/11/22/article-1229995-05DC6739000005... and here http://www.sligotoday.ie/images/1413179204.jpg for examples:
Also, it's winter, so gloves would be quite standard for a soldier from any army.
And though your comment about Brits and baseball caps is funny, and for the most part most brits wouldn't be caught dead in a ball cap, please see this, which is a bonafide phot of a former Brit soldier turned mercenary. He wears a ball cap. There is something called "military fashion" and people follow it. It is mainly set by who the rest of the world consideres the biggest bad-asses, and these days, that's US special forces. So, if you want to look cool or intimidating, you dress in a manner people think special forces wear, such as ball caps, knee and elbow pads, gloves, etc.
Oh, and see this, North Wales police officers are now wearing ball caps. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/09/17/article-2423268-0060E8E2000004.... Though the girls in the picture look quite nice and helpful, it's really just a police department following military fashion to give them a tougher, more badass and intimidating image. So, sorry, but ball caps are ontheir way to the UK, thanks to American culture. (OK, I know the Brits consider our culter more of a collection of nasty habits rather than true culutre, but hay, you're the motherland. Should have raised us better.

Along with the body counts and innocent civilians. See if that wipes that big arrogant smile off his disgusting dishonest face. Or maybe they would have one hell of a good laugh on pulling some of the greatest shams right in midst of public view. IN any case...lets hope there is a final accounting at some point in this life.
you guys here are obessed with conspiracies. Especially blaming NATO as an agressor when for decades, NATO had only 10-15 jets along the whole eastern border.
But, hey, look what Strelkov, says about Crimeea and the referendum:)). Sure, ZH soviet paid operators, posting here around the clok will say: yeah, only propaganda:)

Iror Girkin tells Russian TV that Crimeans did not support Russian annexation
Ex-insurgent leader Igor Girkin ('Strelkov') has admitted in a recent Russian TV interview that the March 2014 Crimean referendum was forced through by Russian occupation forces and received almost no local support.
In an interview on the ‘Polit-Ring TV show on Russia's NeuroMirTV earlier this week, Girkin, who was present throughout the seizure of Crimeabefore playing a leading role in theRussian insurgency in east Ukraine, admitted that the whole referendum was only possible thanks to the presence of Russian troops.
Mr.nutjob nato wasn't supposed to extend beyond east germany . Moreover nato is the aggressor in Ukraine . Idiot Ukies and tribe should have thought about loosing crimea before . Got surprized ?
Hi Mandea, you can present that sort of evidence to people until you are blue in the face. They simply will prefer their conspiracy theories to what is closer to the truth :( i discuss this with Russian friends from Crimea... they simply will not accept it :(
A good interview with Strelkov and his view's of the West here:

quite interesting to say the least in terms of understanding the mentality of some Russians with regards to the rest of the world (esp the West).
I stumbled upon a comment to a video:
Hi mel. U want to talk a little. Here, ill put some things strait. Suppressor is not titanium, its steel. The trouser are crye precision, shirt is british mtp, i was breathing hard as we were trying to reach casualties and had just arrived on scene and were and were rushing. Seconds count in thises situations. Hence my speaking is a little off. Im a native english speaker. All your guesses on where im from are wrong. I am a volunteer, not mercenary or contractor. Hell, i cant even afford to feed myself propely. In the other video at the kindetgarden you will here me explaining that we may and probably be blow the grad in situ as would endanger more lives trying to extract from ground. What else u want to know? Email me and ill tell u?
And the video is?
Sounded American, to me.
Yes, it's just a video ... not hard evidence.
Just as video depictions of Russian soldiers are not "hard evidence".
Sauce ... goose ... gander.
Prepare for the Attack of the Drones!
Russian soldiers are more elusive than a Sasquatch apparently - except for this one:

Mercenary - possibly a bomb disposal guy given the context. The big question is who is paying them: US or one of the local oligarchs?
edit: It's kinda disturbing how some people are so desperate to start WWIII.
He has got a buddy. What is his accent? The cameraman also speaks American.

That's definitely not an American accent
It isn't surprising that one would find Americans, Aussies, Brits, Canadians, etc. in Eastern Ukrainian war zones.
They have the most experience out of any major military given the last decade + of combat action in Southwest Asia.
This chap was most likely a private security contractor.
Hired gun.
This is direct violation of minsk agreement - foreign mercenaries prohibited - paragraf 9
Negative ghost rider, that's a special operations operator. The Magpul, gloves,tac holster etc. leads me to guess most likely Special Forces green beenie advisor. I also guess he's an officer, young captain/major. Accent sounds NE, maybe NY.
The Delta guys I worked with were more civilian attired and ALWAYS carried their rifles different and ALWAYS worked in pairs or more.
Too much military tac gear for a CIA guy.
Not a contractor, they don't head towards a battle or blast. They usually wear less military style gear too.
They might if they knew it was their side that did the shelling and have now stopped *and* they fired short onto friendly territory so these guys were sent out to look for unexpldoed munitions.
quite likely.
not that this would be a surprise to anyone who knows anything about how the military industrial complex operates...

Shocking that trader1 isn't a complete fucking moron that he is usually showing himself to be. Thank you for pointing out what a child could have understood. Now comes the critical thinking, who do you think he's working for and why? No need to answer, Trader1, as you're a fuckwit and nobody cares.
