Reply to comment by TL_Marin in Japan to add Russia's Wagner Group, others to sanction list over invasion by progress18

What do you mean? There's nothing in the wikipedia to say it's in any way American, and I can't find anything by googling about an American branch/version.

I'm not sure what hes on about either, it commonly known the wager is just a direct arm of the Russian gov. With plausible denibility...now if he somehow is trying to reference blackwater, hes dead wrong. Those guys were legit and whole other ball game.

Nope, they're different. People compare them because they're both private military companies, but they're definitely not equal (with Wagner leading on civilian massacres). Blackwater (even in their new branding) has never been involved in Ukraine/Russia.
