Russia is using Wagner Group in Ukraine. Does that count as a private company?
- newsclues 4y agoThe USA has nukes and employs military contractors.
- dron57 4y agoSure it does. The Russian government is paying Wagner members and leadership on a contract basis. Is your argument is the fact that Wagner operations seem to be closely tied to the whims and wishes of the Russian government? Thats true for all Russian companies. Gazprom is exactly the same.
- Moru 4y agoUSA are pretty good at using private firms for the contract work outside of their borders.
- yucky 4y agoYep, Wagner is basically the Blackwater of Russia. We taught them well.
