What do you make of this? Can somebody translate...except

the part at about 22-23 seconds, which translates as, "Outta my face, outta my face please..."

I realize this is not Economy-specific, but am reluctant to post it at this point out in the "jungle" so to speak...

I am curious myself now.

As to "the jungle" I wish we had a safe group for GD. I completely understand where you are coming from

I'd read weeks ago about there being a video of an obvious American soldier in the Ukraine. This video popped up on zero hedge this morning.

The accent is totally American. Might be somebody who grew up here with ties to Ukraine.

This seems to just be a reporter trying to get interviews after a rocket attack.

The title seems to say this is an American mercenary after the attack on Mariupol on January 24th.

There are several companies that provide them, including whatever name Blackwater is using these days, and Triple Canopy, and etc.

Might be one of them the camera caught.
