So Russia invades Ukraine and takes Crimea from Ukraine and the US is to blame. People need to lay off the vodka.

You have a link showing your claim...
Last I heard these mercenary groups are hired by the people with the most money...
ACADEMI serves both government and corporate clients that require elite training and security services for static site protection, executive protection, cyber and physical protection strategies, logistics planning and more.

Where is your proof that the United States is paying for Academi to be in the Ukraine ? Lots of money involved in this and most of it belongs to Russia and the Oligarchs who all have something at stake in the moves that have been made most recently by the Russian government.
You are very quick to accuse short of any proof then turn around and ask for proof ? Double standard or just the simple straw man argument ?

Tell me, What country did the people of Crimea live in before Russia invaded? Because I'm sure it was Ukraine which makes them Ukrainians.
