Anyone remember Blackwater?
Well they're back and doing much the same in the Ukraine:

In what is becoming a weekly ritual, the German press continues to demolish the US case of "idealistic humaniatrian" Ukraine intervention. Recall, that it was a week ago that German tabloid Bild am Sonntag, hardly the most reputable source but certainly one which reaches the broadest audience, reported that dozens of CIA and FBI agents were "advising the Ukraine government."
This conclusion is hardly a stretch and certainly based on facts considering the recent semi-secret jaunt by CIA head Brennan to Kiev. Fast forward one week when overnight the same Bild reported that about 400 elite mercenary commandos of the private US security firm, Academi, f/k/a Xe Services, f/k/a Blackwater "are involved in a punitive operation mounted by Ukraine's new government" against east Ukraine separatists.

Bullies provoking other bullies and the honest and true getting caught in the cross fight.
How about we put all the world leaders in an all for nothing cage fight? They want to fight so much let them take a few actual punches for a change. (Also whats a true democracy if theres a leader?)

I Don't understand Democracy anymore.
If the elected leader can disregard the wishes of those that elected him, how is that Democratic?
No such thing in the US.

Yeah, I'm really glad I didn't take the last job they offered me.
Sometimes I wish I had, though. Moneys #ing incredible. The job? Well, let's just say its more dangerous than working for Uncle Sam, but you get better gear, the foods beyond compare, and beautiful women everywhere, so........
Problem is you have to work for low-life, arrogant little #wads who's schedule involves mainly snorting coc aine and banging hookers. Oh yeah, "great men of faith" every one. Usually while you are present in the room. Sometimes they try to be your buddy, and you get pressured incessantly to try some coc aine and hookers too.....and the hookers usually look like Victorias Secret Models, so the # ain't easy. But you can't. Bitches be crazy over yonder, for real. Never tried the coke, either.
Wasn't my thing. I came home to my family instead. I have buddies who do it though. Married and all. Their wives stay pissed off when their gone and are even worse when their home! # that.
I dont make as much as them! But it's really not my thing, guarding guys I'd rather ghost, anyhow. I get to sleep in my own bed every night.

thats kinda the problem with a "Free" Society. giving people the ability to be "Free" gives people the ability to plot against said "Free" Nation in an attempt to make it NOT a free nation any more. its such a mind bending security conundrum. our whole schtick is built off "land of the free" and how anyone can come here to be anything...
well what if someone wants to be the tyrannical ruler of america or just a foot soldier in some organization that wants to rule america? thats were the NSA and other good ole agencies come in of course and HOPEFULLY dont start throwing people into diego garcia cause they make some stupid drunk comments.
GOD O GOD its such a complicated topic that I'm so glad i dont have any responsibility over. i get anxiety just thinking about the guy who's gotta worry about that stuff lol. just imagine your day job having to maintain pleasantville without turning into berlin circa 1940. its a fine fine line to walk.

so what exactly was that roof gunner doing midway through that video? it certaly looked like he was taking pot shots at people just for the fun of it? i understand the concept of shots across the bow to get cars to stay out of the way of a convoy but he seemed to just be shooting people waiting?
