  1. Blackwater is not the same as Wagner. Blackwater is not under the control of the US government— they are a private that was hired often by the US but the company also took jobs that were not in the interest of the US. Wagner is indirectly under control of Putin and does what’s in the interest of Putin. As a result, Wagner is also sometimes a leader in an operation such as what they did in Donbas in 2014 and after. Blackwater provided additional support for the US in two wars but were not the first to arrive in those countries and were hired as support — often to work security for military personnel or security for some location. Other than that, they do have lots of similarities as you would expect from private contract forces.
