‘Jonas’ said he’s an experienced sniper with military training and experience in several conflicts around the world, and claims to have killed nearly 100 Russians during his time in Ukraine
Maybe, but most likely not. SeALs don't usually train other military forces. That's the job and purview of the Ranger Battalions. That's how DOD set up those battalions during and after WWII, and is an agreement with the NATO countries.
I'm wondering, if he says he's killed ~ 100 Russians in Ukraine, how does he know they were combatant forces? If he was pointed toward and ordered to shoot Russians by Ukrainian Nazis, there's simply no way [they] didn't dupe his dumb ass into killing innocents. So basically, he's guilty, knows he's quilty and is just trying to cover his ass for when the tribunals start. Because he knows he'll hang. "Just following orders" isn't a valid defense against war crimes. If it was, most of the German Nazis would've survived.
Bet he was navy seal trained too, right?

And as much money as these contractors are getting paid, think they give a crap? Only god can judge them now.
