Threatening us with a good time...

[Regnum] Mexican mercenaries are joining the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to prepare for an attack on the United States. This is reported by the Italian publication L'Antidiplomatico, citing American official Stephen Willoughby.
And who, pray tell, is this Mr.Willoughby? I found a bunch of them in a quick internet search, but none in the federal government.
The publication clarified that members of Mexican cartels join the Ukrainian Armed Forces not for ideological reasons, but in order to practice conducting combat operations in modern conditions. In particular, in conditions of active use of drones.

"It's only a matter of time before these technologies are used to attack the United States. Cartels are already using drones for drug trafficking, reconnaissance, and even armed attacks," Willoughby said.

He called Ukraine "a testing ground for organized crime."
That's pretty funny in view of the fact of how widespread organized crime is in eastern Europe.
It is also specified that the National Intelligence Center of Mexico has already warned the Ukrainian special services that criminals serve in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, after which Kyiv began an investigation.

At the end of July, Regnum IA observer Olga Kuznetsova wrote about the formation of a new unit of mercenaries from Mexico called Miquiztli Force in the ranks of the 25th Airborne Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It was later revealed that the recruitment process was organized by the Ukrainian embassies in Latin America - Mexican and Peruvian.

In addition, according to Kuznetsova, while mercenaries are traveling from overseas to Ukraine, weapons are being sent in the opposite direction, initially sent to the Kiev regime by Western countries.
