Behind a paywall but:

As Russia Advances, NATO Considers Sending Trainers Into Ukraine

The move could draw the United States and Europe more directly into the war. The Biden administration continues to say there will be no American troops on the ground.

Consequently, Ukrainian officials have asked their U.S. and NATO counterparts for help in training 150,000 soldiers closer to the front lines for quicker deployment.

Issue them a sippy cup and a bag lunch with an orange and a bologna sandwich, then shove them into battle.

Ukraine should have taken a que from Poland and had well trained military before this war started and perhaps it wouldn’t have started.

I guess the Ukraine could arrest more people to fill the prisons, and then recruit from the prisons - it might make them more willing compared with forcibly dragging men (15-70 years old) off the streets and sending them to fight. The men/boys would have to choose whether to live in prison or die in a field. Maybe offer prisoners widows benefits or money to their families? So prison, with no money going to your family, or conscription - which means death but your family is helped. But then they'd suspect the money would never be paid.

That's how we got sucked into Vietnam, by first sending "advisors."

The ignorant ass is itching to get Americans killed by imbedding them with Nazi forces. Utterly shameful.
But he won’t lift a finger to help America. When BLM was burning down the country, he released a video with an assaholic race lecture. And hasn’t lifted a finger or said a word about the border invasion.

With what remains of the Ukranian army, we’ll need to send them a massive supply of acne medicine and diapers.

All we know is Ukraine wants this.

Not a single NATO government has committed to doing it.

The Russians will actively hunt any “advisors” anywhere in Ukraine and will send missiles their way if they find any. This idea is insane.

To little, to late, no troops left to train except those in the nursing homes.

Echoes of Vietnam. Only this time we will be in the majors against another nuclear power. What could go wrong?

Hoping it hasn’t been left until it’s too late.

NATO is either a chartered treaty organization or it is not. Which is it? IS Ukraine an approved, documented member of NATO? Is it even an officially approved and documented NATO Aspirant?

This is like NATO bombing the crap out of Libya and Syria in Ubama’s “Lead from Behind” campaign. Just because there may be talk in the back channels, under the table or whatever by one or more members does not charter adherence make. More phony war and pocket lining.

Can't we just send John Kerry and James Taylor?

And maybe a real peace-treaty seeking contingent. A cease-fire in Ukraine is much more likely than a cease fire in Gaza.

How about they train the hundreds of thousands of Uke men of fighting age who are in neighboring countries?

There are lots of them!
