It took 10 years of terror and thousands of deaths to recognize that. So agile!

[martinmyggestik]

So you're telling me that these inmates who rape, murder and steal washing machine are criminals... No way 😮

[elbibwen]

*How about BLACK WATER*
?

[gheorgheionut]

Damn, now its legal to engage them all over the world.... Really big move, really big one.

[angelikalindenau]

That must have been years coming - we've had no illusions

[catalinacurio]

Should have done this months ago, but better late than never.

[DavidJ]

It should be designated as a terrorist organization.

[exousiarevealhumanityunli]

Bruhhh did they forget Wagner group of USA in Iraq?

[carsi]

They should do the same for Academi (formerly Blackwater).

[bobkebob]

Someone needs to call the war police to arrest them.

[JeffRL]

Why was this not done years ago? They've been in the news for years and what they've done is well-known.

P.S.: And what about Blackwater (or whatever it's been re-re-named this time)? They're highly suspect, too.

[greenbluemonkey]

Lets see....an organization made up of actual criminals from designation ever.

[mazenali]

Very good, but do not forget the American Blackwater also that they are similar

[DavidJ]

Well it is filled with prisoners.
Start freezing those assets!! 🤣

[almac]

Could they do the same to the SNP please?

[paulmartin]

What are the criteria needed to be there for one organization to be put into list of criminal organization or terrorist ?

[hilltopintegratedfarm]

In US they are called Contractors, since they are from Russia they are called mercenaries

[annakingry]

" We get any money we need from Russia, " Eric Trump . Worldwide support for Ukraine!

[swong]

If Wagner is a criminal organization, is it possible for America to confront them militarily directly wherever they are in the world?

[theayatollahofrockandrolla]

Wish they had the balls to call Putin out for being a crime boss..
