    So did I hear that the US is considering letting “contractors” take Ukrainian contracts?

    The US has been sending “advisers” into Ukraine since the war began. And we’ve had intelligence officers in this country for decades.

    Blackrock would ruin these morons!

    Mercenaries and auxiliaries are useless and dangerous; and if one holds his state based on these arms, he will stand neither firm nor safe; for they are disunited, ambitious, and without discipline, unfaithful, valiant before friends, cowardly before enemies; they have neither the fear of God nor fidelity to men, and destruction is deferred only so long as the attack is; for in peace one is robbed by them, and in war by the enemy. The fact is, they have no other attraction or reason for keeping the field than a trifle of stipend, which is not sufficient to make them willing to die for you.
