It's time for Erik Prince and Academi to step up.
Complete transparency. 'We don't represent Jack or shit, we do it for the money'.
Freedom, smedom, a bunch of guys would do a nine month tour of duty for $120,000 each.

I'm serious about sending in the privateers.
Corporate sponsors like NASCAR, decals and everything.
They could make book on them in Vegas, offer cash bonuses for each salient objective gained. Live TV, with excited commentators like a sporting event.
"Did you see that explosion" ! Pay per View buying the replacement tanks.

I almost mail-ordered a small piece of rubble from the Berlin Wall after it came down.
My genius friend ridiculed me out of doing it; he said, "How do you know where that little piece of concrete comes from" ? "It could come from the Berlin hitching post".

Didn't say it was, Fred. Tried to put the cat out for the night yet?

Reports of a 40 mile long convoy headed for KYIV. Putin's leaving his ass hanging out. Imagine how much fuel and supplies such a convoy would need? Hurt the fuel supply line of that and that highway becomes a parking lot. The Ukrainians have Turkish rocket carrying drones. What happens to Putin's invasion forces if they start to run out of fuel, munitions or even food? You can have forces encircle a city but then they become a stationary target.
On a side question will the oligarchs, who were doing fine until now, have any influence on Putin to halt the invasion?

Anything can happen if you become bad for business. A pre-emptive strike!
Oligarchs recommended him to Yeltsin. There must be now some consensus regarding Vlad.
It is sign of failure when nuclear brinkmanship underpins one's action.

Whenever you attack a supply line or 'stationary' troops, however tempting the targets, your ass is also hanging out. Small attacks are pinpricks; big attacks engender big reaction. It becomes a matter of who fights harder and smarter, but also of who runs out of asses first.
