Mercenaries have shaped wars, toppled governments, and built empires in the shadows. From Cold War guns-for-hire to today’s powerful private military companies, this is the ultimate breakdown of every major mercenary group in modern history.

In this video, we dive into infamous outfits like Executive Outcomes, Blackwater, and Wagner Group — plus the secretive British firms, French adventurers, and Turkish contractors who’ve operated in the gray zone between soldiers and soldiers of fortune.

  1. You must be either very dense or very easily confused. How did you spend the first half of the Wagner section telling us how it's always been under Russian state control and always been doing their dirty work directly then spend the next half yelling how the state began to take control of the group and slowly takeover the operation? What the fuck is this.
