The international legion is made up of people from around the world, not just the US. It’s not under US command. US civilians can act as they wish. Their actions are not the actions of their country.

The USA, the country, is not in Ukraine.

The Americans aren’t in the war. They’re just dealing in arms.

It’s space cuties! Arrrggghhh!
