    Coming Soon: Reports on how Russia helps its #UK & #US mercenaries illegally enter #Ukraine & how crowd funding helps them keep fighting.

    A topic we hear virtually nothing on inside the US....there have been a number of US right wingers fighting in the Donbas and yet they travel back and forth to the US with ease and no interference by CBP or FBI....why is that?
    Outlaw 09,

    The adoption of a "Nelson's Eye" approach to citizens or residents fighting abroad for a cause is a regular feature of international affairs. Some maybe described as mercenaries, others as freedom fighters or foreign fighters. Sometimes they fight in internationally recognized national armies or are dual-state nationals; this particularly in recent years affects the IDF. When the revolt against Gadafy gained some success a good number of UK citizens of Libyan heritage or refugees made their way to Libya to fight (it is incidentally unclear if they came back later) and I cannot recall a single incident where they were stopped, let alone prosecuted - unlike those who went to Syria.
