then why did you post 2 pentagon sources?
Sometimes truth is told, sometimes not. So the first guy said one thing, and the other source you posted said something different.
I’ve seen photos of US military training Nazi battalion guys. And much evidence, irrefutable, that the CIA has been funding and training the Nazi battalions since 2016.
That is enough to make me suspicious about anything our gov says about Ukraine. And there’s a lot more than that going on.
