American Exceptionalism at Work in Ukraine

Editor's note: The idea the head of this Mozart Group PMC ostensibly in Ukraine to train the Ukrainian military and to "rescue civilians" saying Ukraine is a "fucked up society" and "led by fucked up people," completely over looks the people in the west who planned this proxy war against Russia are the ones who are fucked up. What other way is there to describe these people? How many of those Ukrainian soldiers trained by the US and maybe even by this Mozart PMC, are dropping artillery rounds into civilian areas in the Donbass region killing an estimated 14,000 civilians since 2014? That's what fucked up people do. That this guy's drunken antics torpedoed this PMC in Ukraine is questionable. Russia is demolishing the Ukrainian military with an estimated 200,000 dead, missing and injured soldiers. The average untrained Ukrainian soldier in Bakhmut remains alive for 4 hours.

'The Crazy American': How Col. Andy Milburn's drunken antics torpedoed top US mercenary group

BY ALEXANDER RUBINSTEIN | FEBRUARY 3, 2023

Amid allegations of drunken rampages across Kiev, Mozart Group co-founder Andy Milburn has disbanded his mercenary firm. Milburn is now lashing out at The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal for exposing his intoxicated tirade against the Ukrainian soldiers he trained.

One of the most prominent mercenary firms operating out of the United States has collapsed under its director's weight. Mozart Group co-founder and retired Marine Col. Andy Milburn has been involved in a series of drunken episodes both on and off camera which have led Ukrainian military officers to dub him "the crazy American."

With tens of billions of US military aid flowing into the Ukraine conflict zone, this might be one of the best times in the history of warfare to run a mercenary group. This February 2, however, Milburn was forced to announce the closure of his company.

Today was the last day for the Mozart Group

"Today was the last day for the Mozart Group. The Mozart Group ended today," Milburn tweeted. "The name and entity - had become the subject of litigation and a distraction from our core mission: training Ukrainian soldiers and rescuing civilians."

The mercenary group's collapse represents a dramatic fall from grace for a 59-year-old veteran who was the subject of a fawning October 2022 profile by the New York Times as a courageous humanitarian "driven by the same pro-Ukrainian spirit that has put yellow and blue flags flying across the Western world."

The Mozart Group's demise comes a little more than a month after Grazyone editor Max Blumenthal publicized a video podcast featuring Milburn knocking back glasses of whiskey until his apparently drunken mind spoke for his sober heart. Milburn proceeded to slur his way through a series of resentful complaints and allegations about the Ukrainian government and armed forces.

"It's a corrupt, fucked up society," led by "fucked up people," Milburn said, going on to accuse Ukrainian forces of "atrocities" and killing Russian prisoners of war "who surrendered."

“There was plenty of that," Milburn added.
