Russia might have learned it's Ukraine action by watching American soldiers in secret wars all over earth

I was rereading an article I commented on from about 2010 from the New York Times and realized what Russia is now doing in Ukraine is pretty much the same kind of thing the U.S. does secretly regularly now around the world. The first button is the article with my comments the second is the New York Times article itself. What drew my attention is the CIA hiring mercenaries being hired as private contractors to create desired outcomes with the permission of the local government. However, Russia does not have the permission of the local government to actually be there. That is the real difference.

The Secret Assault on Terrorism

Secret Assault on Terrorism Widens on Two Continents

 

 Below was a partial comment that I made after reading the New York Times article in 2010:

"---there is a new attempt to use the CIA and soldiers in clandestine operations with the secret agreement of local governments and drones and hellfire missiles are now used on two continents, Asia (including middle east as in Yemen) and in Africa specifically in Somalia.

It says the main problem with these kinds of operations is that American soldiers used in this way could be treated as spies if captured and this could interfere with them being treated correctly by the Geneva Conventions. It also leads to private armies (mercenaries worldwide) being hired as private contractors to assassinate terrorists anyway they can, and anyway they can manage it."

end partial quote from my comments from 2010.

So, Russia's using mercenaries hired by their FSB (a newer version of the KGB) is Russia's way of now taking over Ukraine (or just destabilizing it) so the present  Ukraine government cannot function properly or economically.
