I think you may not understand what a merc is. Firstly, the idea that this is a proxy war does not argue against the idiocy of the quoted post - it reinforces it as a conclusion. In an alternate reality where russia could get it's shit together, it would be ukraine getting drained, not the us. Kind of the point of proxies. Secondly, the ukrainian forces are uniformed combatants commanded by the legitimate government of ukraine, and therefore not mercenaries.
