So that’s what they want to do after the war is over? Just in time for a war in Iran, ukranazi pmcs let loose on the country?

      Like, most of these “”“veterans”“”" are going to be conscripts

      They’re not going to want to become mercenaries

      So unless their plan is to enslave these men further, they’re just going to be sending Azov types to do heinous shit

      And knowing ukkkraine, they would definitely enslave these people

        They don’t have a Ukrainian economy to return to. As soon as as the war ends all the foreign-owned companies are going vulture-mode and starving the economy Milei-style.

        Unfortunately it’s also very likely that Ukraine’s economy can’t sustain these people when the war ends and they’ll be forced to use that knowledge to pay bills by going abroad. I doubt western countries will keep the money spigot running when they’re not killing Russians anymore.

        Sure, but if they don’t have other opportunities, some proportion of them still will. Which doesn’t absolve them, of course, but even though it’s afaik pretty rare in the USA people do sign up for these things out of desperation.
