Russia considers us their enemy?
Does President Trump know this?
Again, Russia ("freely elected"  Vladimir Putin) is paying to have U.S. Troops (our sons & daughters) killed.
Not much wiggle-room there.[This message has been edited by Boondawg (edited 06-28-2020).]

You know, for someone who claims to be so intelligent, you seem to lack a lot of knowledge. Yes, Russia considers us our adversary. Vladimir's greatest regret is that the USSR collapsed, and he directly blames the United States for this. They are one of the top funders of propaganda in this country and on our social media platforms. The fact that you acknowledge they interfered in our elections, but seem to think they aren't all involved now is just beyond me... or perhaps that vast intellect of yours hadn't gotten around to concluding this. What you may not have realized is... while you were exposed to very obviously only ONE side of the propaganda, the propaganda was being pushed on every extreme for the sole purpose of destabilizing our country and pitting us against each other. That is the exact same thing that is being done now, but your superior intelligence is obviously too stupid to recognize this.

I believe that you're conflating the definition of mercenary with an actual nation state ally.

The bottom line is that this is just another attempt to pin something bad on Trump.
Everything BlackLivesMatter does is Trump's fault.
Everything a democrat controlled police department does is Trump's fault.
Everything a virus does is Trump's fault.
Everything some small-time Ukrainian hoodlum does is Trump's fault.
Now, everything Putin has ever done is Trump's fault.
I'm pretty sure Trump had something to do with the Permian Extinction.

This is the very thing I first thought of when I read the first sentence of this topic. So I have to assume that this is an Anti-Biden thread?

Wait, let me guess...fake news again.

So, what's the going rate for souls, nowadays?
I'm betting it's not as much of a "sellers" market as it was 1,253 days ago.
I can't wait for all the do-gooders to start wailing about how they were "misled". 
Please.
Even a moron could have seen the signs.
In fact, I did.

Ya lost me with the first two words of your post. Not bothering to read any further. You continuously bark at others for stuff like that.

I don't know what that nation state called them but I know what they referred to themselves as.
They hated the ARVN almost as much as they hated the NVA and would shoot either one if they could get away with it.
My closest friend (he and I enlisted under the 'buddy program") worked with the Kit Carson Scouts,(I think 1st btn/7th Marines) which were the Chieu Hoi (NVA that came over to 'our side) and they were the same way. They'd fight, but had to be paid.

That's the very definition of a mercenary.

Nope, at least not here in the United States it isn't, especially after the end of conscription.
