There are new reports about U.S. special forces operators who are doing “operational prep of the battlefield” in Ukraine.
Seth Harp, an investigative reporter and contributing editor to Rolling Stone, revealed the JSOC operations on Sunday.
“US special operators are currently on the ground in Ukraine doing ‘operational prep of the battlefield,’ according to a well informed source,” Harp reported citing a ‘well informed’ source. “The military unit is JSOC’s Advance Force Operations, including members of Delta Force and SEAL Team 6.”
The developments are concerning to Americans who want to avoid entanglement in a foreign war, but Harp cautioned readers not to necessarily presume this is an “escalation.”

[Ooh, deleted. The hardest question is to decide whether it was FSB/GRU, Beijing, Kiev, Soros, or CIA/DNC/BIDEN B. S. Psyops. The corruption train goes on for miles and miles and none of the above could be trusted to not think they could gain from the fear. May just be to tank the stock market which might have been trying to stand up again.]
Yanukovich ran to Moscow because he was Putin’s man. Who was Yanukovich’s man, who left Ukraine when Yanukovich scuttled away to his master in Russia? Zlochevsky, who *co-incidentally* owned Burisma, the outfit that bribed Biden through Hunter.
I think we are supposed to preface our comments with, “If this is true….”
Isn’t that what we learned under 4 years of Trump. //sarc
CIA looking for evidence about Potato Brain’s dirty stuff in order to keep out of Russian hands. After all, they put him in power. The CIA is not your friend
I assume that they were there well before the invasion. Probably scaled up after the invasion. If something is going on that long, someone will notice.
March on Moscow with handbags at the ready and salamis pre sliced or tucked.
...then the US will consider entering and driving Russia out.
Are you trying to get us all killed?
Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you
I only want you to have some fun
I was dreamin’ when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin’
Could’ve sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin’ everywhere
Tryin’ to run from the destruction
You know I didn’t even care
Say, say, 2000-00, party over
Oops, out of time
So tonight I’m gonna party like it’s 1999
I was dreaming’ when I wrote this
So sue me if I go too fast
Life is just a party
And parties weren’t meant to last
War is all around us
My mind says prepare to fight
So if I gotta die

They say, 2000-00, party over
Oops, out of time

And, baby, he’s ready to roar
Yeah, yeah
Everybody’s got a bomb
We could all die any day, aw
But before I’ll let that happen
I’ll dance my life away, oh-oh-oh
They say, 2000-00, party over
Oops, out of time
We’re runnin’ outta time
So tonight we gonna party like it’s 1999
Say it one more time

Mommy
Why does everybody have a bomb?
Mommy
Why does everybody have a bomb?
Sounds like Vietnam.
At what point is it necessary to say ‘No More’ even when the world is at stake from s nuclear exchange? Because I think the whole world is just as at risk from that very same nuclear exchange if the West backs down.
I think we are very close to that point again and could go either way.
Just to throw it out there, what about a situation where we were as sure as could be that Putin’s Russia was about to launch on us and we felt we would be marginally or significantly in better position if we hit them first as hard as we could?
Awful situations and decisions a d it sure matters who’s making them too.
I see people throw comments around in the news etc and am pretty sure that most have no idea the ramifications of escalation.
Would escalation automatically occur?
Can the odds be calculated?
I would like to tell Seth, or whoever “Scoop” is ... shut up, already ...
under jfk (1960-1963), usa troop count in vietnam went from ~700 to 16752.
under lbj, (1963-1968), usa troop count in vietnam went from 16752 to ~549000 (approved).
when most people think of the cost of the vietnam war, they think of the ~549000, not the ~16000.
also this does not take into consideration the re-writing of NSAM 273 (issued on Nov. 26, 1963), which LBJ presented as consistent with JFK’s wishes, when in fact it directly contradicted them by increasing (not decreasing) USA military involvement.
In short, James Reston was spreading disinformation and aggrandizing himself, and does not deserve to held as an honest broker of news. Furthermore, the account cannot be verified and so should be regarded as anecdotal. that’s probably true even if another reporter is on record as having heard the exchange.
This dummy must have went to the Geraldo Rivera school on how to get people killed in a war zone.
No no no no no no no... Not an escalation at all!
I really think it is close and we will see if blinking happens or no.
Sure wish I had more confidence in our command structure these days. Patton and MacArthur may well have been dead on in their assessments of the Russians and Chinese.
No kidding - don’t need our guys getting killed or caught.
Reminds me of a fellow I knew that was working in the Plain of Jars @ 1959/60 - good ol USA, doin whatever we want to do.
The Russians can deliver a small tactical weapon above a German or Polish NATO base and the US ain’t gonna do shit.
Sending the seals in to collect the damaging info on Biden family, Romneys, Mccains, Pelosi, etc. before Putin gets it.
........“US special operators are currently on the ground in Ukraine”......
If that’s true then all hell could break lose over there and likely will.
