A US contractor accidentally revealed a US military specialist deployment in the combat zones in Ukraine via an Job Advertisement on LinkedIn.
Similarly to the Atlantic Council’s report on independence of Eastern European countries, as well as the meeting between US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin, the posting comes days before the escalation in the Sea of Azov.
Mission Essential is a government contractor, which primarily serves intelligence and military clients. It began as the US government’s leading provider of translation and interpretation services.
Screenshot provided in case the advert times out or is “accidentally” taken down:
The preemptive job advert was posted on November 16th and seeks “linguist candidates who speak Ukrainian to provide foreign language interpretation and translation services to support classified Contingency Operations in support of the U.S. Military in Ukraine.”
The formal place of work is Mykolayiv, Ukraine. The port city is also significant, because that is where the US “logistical” naval facility is currently under construction.
The advert also requires candidates to be able to fit in the local culture and customs, in addition to “the ability to deal inconspicuously with local populace if necessary.” Which simply means that the interpreter needs to be able to hide the fact that he is not a Ukrainian citizen, at least partly.
Unsurprisingly, the individual needs to be able to serve in a combat zone “if necessary,” in addition to being able to “live, work, and travel in harsh environments, to include living and working in temporary facilities as mission dictates.”
Considering repeated claims by the US leadership that the US is not involved in the Ukraine conflict, the vacancy posting is an operational security failure by Mission Essential. Most other vacancies posted by the company are for analysts and various linguistical and project management positions, almost predominantly in different military facilities in the US.
It is quite possible that these specialists would assist US military personnel deployed in or near the “combat zones” in Ukraine – i.e. Eastern Ukraine, and as it was expected since as early as November 16th – the Sea of Azov.
This is another piece that reinforces the notion that the “provocation by Russia” in the Sea of Azov was somehow premeditated. However, it also appears that, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko’s plans appeared to, at least partially, backfire. “Partially,” because he managed to instate martial law and make another step in his attempts to postpone elections in 2019, thus “democratically” holding on to power and not allowing the Ukrainian citizens to vote and most likely elect his rival and favored presidential candidate Yulia Tymoshenko.
The geopolitical analysis site SouthFront has unearthed from the pages of LinkedIn an incredible public job offering by a US defense contractor which reveals potentially sensitive information
I hope they all die there! F’em! Let these mercs rot in hell! I’m Orthodox before I am American! God before country!
Ah….illicit support for potential spies and saboteurs…agents and insurgents….military support in civilian clothes…even incursions into Crimea and Russia possibly.
Isn’t it time for a really obvious and blatant placing of missiles in Cuba….. with Cuban permission, of course…….. that should shake out a lot of shit. Imagine CNN!!
Then negotiations….. then some sanity from the US……….
I’m not saying that this is a bad idea, but ….
The last time the Soviets placed missiles in Cuba, the reaction from the US military command was to immediately launch a first-strike nuclear war. The only reason that this didn’t happen was because JFK stood up to them and said no. The only negotiations were initiated via a back-channel and the President’s brother Bobby.
Considering that the Donald in no way ever shows any sign of standing up to the current generations of Curtis LeMays in the Pentagon doesn’t bode well for a new Cuban Missile Crisis being resolved by negotiations. And any sort of back channel to negotiate with the Russians would be investigated by Special Inquisitor Mueller and would lead to the imprisonment of the negotiators and the impeachment of the Donald. That is if anyone lived long enough through the nuclear exchange for that to happen.
Well trump did stand up for his buddy Muhammad ibn Salman. (Sarcasm)
Anon, often I wonder how much of what we have been told about the Cuban “missile crisis” is true, and how much is so many lies. Did both the US and USSR have submarine launched missiles at that time? Seems to me that those would have been more difficult to detect, plus, they are mobile— meaning launch pads (so to speak) were available up and down both of our coasts — the big quack that erupted over the stationary land based missiles in Cuba in light of that now appears way overblown. Was this a Soviet response to the Americans stationing missiles in Turkey? You made a statement about “if anyone lived long enough through the nuclear exchange for that to happen” –the elite’s goal is definitely for Them to survive such a catastrophe, not us, and because mega-death from that particular horror has not happened does not mean that other awful methods of mega death are not being perfected. People are talking about DEW’s- directed energy weapons–The peculiar photos from the disaster zones in California trouble me very much. Regarding the “Mission Essential” job advert, I guess this is yet another indicator that It Is On….
Of course, given the lead time of government contracts and hiring processes and the time then needed to get a new hire trained in proper procedures, etc … the fact that this ad was placed just before the incident in the Kerch Strait is completely meaningless.
In other words, If the goal was to have this new hire in place for the current crises, then the ad would have been placed 6 months to a year ago.
Private mercenaries make their own rules (within the rules); as much, can be inferred, from the devil-may-care nature of the original want-ad; in as much as, mercenaries are hired by mercenaries, and like attracts like, for all we know they will vet the poor bastard on the plane-ride over there. Also, in military, and quasi-government military such as this, everything is done in triplicate; this job was likely a replacement position for possible wastage in the ranks — pre-emptive gap-filler, in other words — what may have transpired, in the course of this curious event, and what may yet transpire, are, fill-in-the-blanks puzzles, for us now.
Wrong, there was no such crisis that long ago
The apparent suicide in Bahrain to be blamed on axis of resistance or was it just to get the right man in charge for the aggression about to be unleashed. The new guy’s name says a lot…maybe. It translates as ‘key’ as in for a challah.
Nearly daily indicators of the War in progress against Russia. The momentum from US, UK, Poland, and other NATO vassals is exceedingly clear.
The bloviating talks from the likes of mini-monster Mattis, pontificating Pompeo, and the assortment of loose nuts from Brussels HQ and US Pentagon, State Dept. dumb blondes, et al., make one thing very clear–they desire and are prepping war against Russia. Theresa May took the Infowar battle plan to Argentina and tried to inject it into that venue.
It’s for real. At some point they will have amassed enough logistical support to start a real conflict, the goal of which is to force Russia to counter inside Ukraine (a large playground that will require more than Donbass has to offer, even with an enhance Voentorg from Mother.).
The risk to US will be minimal. The gains for the Hegemon will be significant. Russia will not be able to escape the branding of it as an “aggressor”, and it will be isolated by half the globe. It will lose its vote in the UNSC and the resulting chaos will put it into a “submit or die” geopolitical position.
What needs to happen to forestall this outcome is an asymmetrical action (in Syria). Using the Turks against the Kurds (US proxies), deliver a devastating blow to US operations in Eastern and N.E. Syria in behalf of the Turk’s need to destroy Kurd hopes for Kurdistan.
With Soleimani’s militias operating in Iraq and Iran, Iraqi Army, Turkey’s army and AF, Syrian and Russian military can drive the Kurds back to the pre-war lands. The US cannot operate a real war against these forces.
Fight with the logical allies in a battle zone where the outcome is predictable. The US and NATO will not put more boots on the ground. And their proxies are basically in defensive positions, largely exposed topography, not like in Idlib mountains. The Kurds fight well on their land. They don’t do that well as a counter-strike force. They really didn’t take Raqqa as advertised. Raqqa was emptied of ISIS, transferred to the East and desert below Palmyra, then bombed flat. Kurds in Iraq, never fought for Kirkuk. Soleimani pushed them out with a deal that they were forced to take.
Transfer the war against Russia in Ukraine to the war against the US in Syria and Iraq. The U.S. wants to fight Iran, give them the opportunity. Meanwhile, destroy their strategic plans in Syria and Iraq and break their Ukraine strategy.
US has a war in Afghan, a war in the ME, a war in sub-Sahara, a war in Yemen and needs to lose badly the war it thinks it can win in Syria.
Even yesterday, in his little press conference in Argentina, Putin said the Turks were having problems establishing their promised ceasefire zones in Idlib. He said Russian special forces would be helping achieve that goal. Of course.
Just expand that across the turf the US has staked out for itself and the Kurds.
The US has gotten off cheap in Syria. It’s time to use the allies there to make CENTCOM and CIA pay.
Iran, Hezbollah, Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Russia have work to do.
Any Ukrainian ammunition dumps exploded lately?
The problem with all that is that the US has almost an almost unlimited funds to cover any and all possible covert and overt military actions. The only thing holding it back is that the power-elite are divided and feuding. Washington’s Imperial Court is so full of plots, counter-plots and corruption of every kind that it cannot institute any long-term policy anywhere for very long. This why foreign countries like the UK, Israel, France, Saudi Arabia are so deep into the activities of the Deep State at this time.
You missed the war in China Sea, extremely important powder keg
It all looks good on paper but there is no will in Moscow to finally move from defensive into offensive strategy against the hegemon. I do not know what need to happen to trigger it. Quite depressing.
Agree..

Love your insight !
Apparently all this Nuclear false flag talk regarding the Crimea Bridge is a very sophisticated psy-op to get awake people in the west to look at the situation around Crimea and publically react – before it is too late, and also, interestingly, to also prepare minds for Russian 9/11 disclosure (if further provocations are caused).
This is according to an ex-presenter who put out a video on Friday. His voice sounds familiar and I think he used to be a talking head on Info Wars or a similar well known site about 5 or 6 years ago. Cant remeber his name but it may be worth a Google search to check out.
The horse is dead. Stop beating it.
No nukes. No false flag. Just Troll Lollipops for suckers.
Imagine using Google to search for something utterly useless, from a former somebody on a hysterical website, no longer functioning or relevant.
The key to naïveté is using Google for search.
And you dragged this dead horse here to beat it some more.
Moscow Comments on Media Reports About UK Psychological Warfare Units in Ukraine
https://sputniknews.com/russia/201812031070335002-uk-psychological-warfare-ukraine/
“The United Kingdom seems to be seeking to expand its military presence in Ukraine in the run-up to the March presidential election in the country, the Russian Embassy in London said, commenting on media reports about the UK psychological warfare units allegedly stationed in Ukraine.
On Sunday, BBC News Russian reported that 1,200 servicemen of the British Army’s 77th Brigade, a top-secret unit that deals with electronic and psychological warfare, are currently stationed in Ukraine. According to the broadcaster, the UK servicemen in Ukraine have three main areas of activities: carry out military tasks on the Internet, as well as psychological and information operations.
“Earlier, we had information about the [United Kingdom] dispatching its military experts to train the Ukrainian military to conduct special operations against civilians of Donetsk and Lugansk. Now it turns out that the UK presence has expanded through, as BBC reports, conducting psychological and information operations in this country. As we see, it all happens in the run-up to the presidential election in Ukraine,” the embassy said in a statement on Sunday.
If the information is correct, the new units represent a “new element of a large-scale UK military presence in Ukraine,” the embassy noted.
“Once, the United Kingdom supported the coup in Kiev and the coming to power of the so-called ‘government of the winners’ in violation of the country’s constitution. Now we are witnessing a special operation, whose scale and consequences are yet to be assessed,” the embassy added.
The British army’s 77th Brigade is a combined regular and army reserve unit responsible for using “legitimate non-military levers” as a means “to adapt behaviors of the opposing forces.”

Some comments:
*SEVASTOPOL – THE CITY OF GLORY OF THE RUSSIAN FLEET! Lead, learn the story!
*Smart people have always told you, rather Crimea will go to Russia than the Russian fleet
from Crimea
*Great analysis of the situation. Competent and professional information. More such clever
people and experts. Maybe stupid acts would be less. I listened with great interest. Thank you.
*Air reconnaissance of America and even Israelis, in this place and during this period of time,
“hung” and monitored the situation, tracking for one work of the administration in Crimea.
“No wonder in Argentina, Putin said that the ship’s journal states that the purpose of this
provocation was to “pass the Strait of Kerch secretly and secretly enter the territorial waters
of Russia!” He announced it to the whole world, so THAT is in real life !!
Thanks for the clever interview!
Surprisingly, the inglorious raid of Ukrainian boats into the Russian territorial waters miraculously
allowed Poroshenko to impose martial law in ten regions of Ukraine.
